Name the covalent compound: I8P

1 answer:

6 0

There are certain rules to follow when naming covalent compounds. But first, let us look at the definition of Covalent Compounds.

<h3>What are Covalent Compounds?</h3>

When covalent bonds aid the creation of a molecule, in which the atoms have at least one similar pair of valence electrons, a covalent compound is said to have been formed.

A very common example is water (H₂O)

<h3>How are Covalent Compounds named?</h3>

To name a covalent compound, simply list the first element in the formula using the name of the element, then name the second element by adding the suffix "ide" to the stem of the second element's name.

If there is only one atom in the molecule of the first element, then no prefix should be added.

It is to be noted that if the second element in the compound is oxygen, then we should say:

monox<em>ide</em> instead of monoox<em>ide</em> and
triox<em>ide</em> instead of trox<em>ide</em>, all depending on how many atoms that are involved.

See the attached for the prefixes related to the various number of atoms in the compounds.

It is to be noted that the covalent compound to be named here is not stated hence the general answer.

Convert 15.2 moles of K to atoms of K.

choli [55]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K}}$

Explanation:

To convert atoms to moles, Avogadro's Number must be used: 6.022*10²³.

This tells us the amount of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case it is the atoms of potassium. We can create a ratio.

$\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }$

Multiply by the given number of moles: 15.2

$15.2 \ mol \ K *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }$

The moles of potassium cancel.

$15.2 *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 }$

The denominator of 1 can be ignored.

$15.2 * {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{$

Multiply.

$9.15344*10^{24} \ atoms \ K$

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated that is the hundredth place. The 3 in the thousandth place tells us to leave 5.

$9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K$

In 15.2 moles of potassium, there are <u>9.15*10²⁴ atoms of potassium.</u>

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X
