Element M reacts with fluorine to form an ionic compound with the formula MF₄. The M cation has 18 electrons. Element M is Sn.

<h3>What is Ionic Compound ?</h3>

An ionic compound is defined as the compound made up of ions that formed charge particles when an atom loses or gains electrons.

<h3>What is Cation ?</h3>

Cations are positively charged ions. It forms when an element lose one or more electrons.

The cation which has 18 electrons is Sn. Sn react with fluorine to form an ionic compound with the formula SnF₄ because Sn is large and F is very small in size.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Element M reacts with fluorine to form an ionic compound with the formula MF₄. The M cation has 18 electrons. Element M is Sn.

Match each term with its definition. The position of an equilibrium always shifts in such a direction as to relieve a stress app
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The position of an equilibrium always shifts in such a direction as to relieve a stress applied to the system. - <u>Le Chatelier's principle</u>

A molecule that donates a proton when it encounters a proton acceptor. - <u>Bronsted-Lowry acid</u>

Occurs when a reaction involving an acid and its conjugate base is combined with a second reaction involving a base and its conjugate acid. - <u>Neutralization</u>

It ionizes completely when dissolved in water. - <u>Strong acid</u>

The shift in the position of equilibrium caused by the addition of a participating ion. - <u>Common ion effect</u>

It only partially ionizes when dissolved in water. - <u>Weak electrolyte</u>

It is capable of acting as either an acid or a base depending upon the solute. - <u>Amphoteric solvent</u>

The act of self-ionization of a solvent to produce both a conjugate acid and a conjugate base. - <u>autoprotolysis </u>

A chemical species that bears both positive and negative charges. - <u>zwitter ion</u>

I need help with the solution
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

The empirical formula describes the simplest whole number ratio of each type of atom in a compound. To find this formula, you need to (1) convert grams of each element to moles (via their atomic masses) and then (2) find the ratio of each element (by dividing each molar value by the smallest mole value).

(Step 1)

Atomic Mass (Zn): 65.380 g/mol

Atomic Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol

Atomic Mass (O): 15.998 g/mol

10.40 grams Zn              1 mole
------------------------  x  ------------------------  =  0.159 moles Zn
                                   65.380 grams

   

1.92 grams C               1 mole
---------------------  x  -----------------------  =  0.160 moles C
                                 12.011 grams

7.68 grams O               1 mole
----------------------  x  ------------------------  =  0.480 moles O
                                 15.998 grams

(Step 2)

0.159 moles Zn / 0.159  =  1 atom Zn

0.160 moles C / 0.159  =  1 atom C

0.480 moles O / 0.159  =  3 atom O

The empirical formula is Zn₁C₁O₃. Therefore, the value that should be in the space is 1.

Compare photons and electrons. Which of the following statements is true?
Ratling [72]

Photon is a packet of light energy. Both photon and electron contribute mostly to the quantum mechanics of the atom. Every particle in quantum mechanical model is explained as dual natured, that is has both particle and wave nature. Photons exhibit wave light properties like diffraction, interference, etc.,At the same time they exhibit particle properties like having a definite momentum and position. Similarly electrons and other microscopic particles exhibit both particle and wave nature.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Both photons and electrons display particle and wave-like behaviour.

Every pure substance has exact and specific density. What are two purposes that a chemist would use a calculated density for.
adell [148]

Answer:

1. Density can be used to identify a substance

2. Density can be used to ascertain whether a substance will float in water.

Explanation:

The calculation of the density of a substance can be used to identify the substance. If the density of a substance is calculated accurately, and compared with a table of standard densities, then we can identify that substance.

Also, density determines whether an object will float or sink in water. If an object is less dense than water then it will float in water. If it is denser than water, then it will sink in water.
