The correct formula of a compound that has ten oxygen atoms and four phosphorus atoms will be $P_{4} O_{10}$ (tetra phosphorus decoxide)

Chemical element symbols, numbers, and other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas, plus as well as minus signs, are used to represent the chemical quantities of the atoms that make up a certain chemical compound and molecule.

It is given that the number of P atom is 4 and 10 oxygen . Decoxide mean

any oxide with ten oxygen molecules per molecule.

Typically, a molecular molecule consists of two or even more nonmetal components. Molecular compounds are characterized by employing the stem of the primary element's term plus the suffix -ide, followed by the second element. The count of atoms in a molecule is specified using numerical prefixes.

Therefore, The correct formula of a compound that has ten oxygen atoms and four phosphorus atoms will be $P_{4} O_{10}$ (tetra phosphorus decoxide)

What is metal and non metal

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable (they can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (they can be drawn into wire). Most of the metals are solids at room temperature, with a characteristic silvery shine (except for mercury, which is a liquid). Nonmetals are (usually) poor conductors of heat and electricity, and are not malleable or ductile; many of the elemental nonmetals are gases at room temperature, while others are liquids and others are solids.

Given that the density of water is 1.00 g/mL, the density of toluene is 0.867 g/mL, and the density of chloroform is 1.48 g/mL,

12345 [234]

Answer:
Top-Toluene
Middle-Water
Bottom-Chloroform

Explication:
Chloroform is on the bottom layer because it is the densest liquid.
Toluene is on the top because it is the least dense.
Water is between the two because it’s density is between chloroform and toluene.

Which of these are true for a hypothesis? (You can pick more than one)

Naya [18.7K]

Hypotheisis is just like an initial building block for a building. The true statements about hypothesis among the given are-

First guess- hypothesis is a proposed explanation for something which is observed. Thus the explanation is just a guess and not a proved one.
An initial idea which is assumed to be true - The whole experiment or research is based on an assumption which is supposed to be true and the scientist works to prove that true.
