What is the correct ratio of the atoms of the two elements present in a sample of the compound copper chloride, CuCl2?

1 answer:

8 0

The correct ratio of the atoms of the two elements in the sample of copper chloride compound would be 1:2.

<h3>Atoms of elements</h3>

Copper chloride has a chemical formula, $CuCl_2$ .

Thus, an atom of copper, Cu, combines with 2 atoms of chlorine, Cl.

The 2 chlorine atoms are recipients of an electron each from the copper atom which happens to have 2 electrons in its outermost valence shell.

Therefore, the ratio of copper to chlorine atoms in the compound is 1:2.

Answer:

Explanation:

So we take the given quotient:

ρ=176⋅g4⋅cm×4⋅cm×4⋅cm = 176⋅g64⋅cm3 = ??g⋅cm−3.

What are the bonding states for the following materials? 1. Brass 2. Rubber 3. BaS 4. Solid xenon

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

A chemical bond is defined as the force which helps to bind more than two atoms in a molecule. There are different types of chemical bonding are present in molecules such as:

1) Ionic bonding: Because of the transfer of electrons it is present in ionic compounds. BaS is an example of ionic bonding which is containing some covalent character.

2) Covenant bonding: Because of the sharing of electrons it forms molecules. Rubber is the example of covalent bonding with some van der walls.

3) Metallic bonding: In the free state it is present in atoms of metal such as Brass is a good example of a metallic bonding because it is a metal alloy.

4) Van der walls bonding: In atoms, It includes repulsion and attraction. Solid xenon is the example of Van der wall bonding because it is an inert gas.

Two of the emission wavelengths in the hydrogen emission spectrum are 410 nm and 434 nm. One of these is due to the n=6 to n=2 t

tia_tia [17]

The 410 mm wavelength corresponds to the n=6 to n=2 transition, the 434 mm wavelength corresponds to the n=5 to n=2 transition.

Planck's equation: E=hc/wavelength
n=6 to n=2 corresponds to a higher energy transition and hence shorter wavelength, 410nm.
