To name compounds, usually, they are a combination of a metal and a nonmetal, between nonmetals and between metals. The two elements here are ammonium (NH₄) and sulfur (S). These are both nonmetals. When you name the compound, start by ammonium, followed by sulfur plus a suffix of -ide. The compound is ammonium sulfide.

<u>Answer:</u> The name of the given compound is ammonium sulfide.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula of (NH_4)_2S. This is formed by the combination of ammonium (NH_4^+) ions and sulfur S^{2-} ions.

The given compound is an ionic compound because complete transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another atom.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

  • Positive ion is written first.
  • The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
  • In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.

Hence, the name of the given compound is ammonium sulfide.

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Noble gases are often described as being very stable. Give two points to explain what this means.
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Noble Gases are very stable because...

1) Noble Gases have a full octet

2) Low chemical reactivity

Explanation:

This means that is has 8 valence electrons so it won't need any more, so it is less likely to react with other substances.

scandium47 has a half-life of 35s. suppose you have a 45g sample of scadium 47 how much of the sample remains unchanged after 14
Mars2501 [29]

 The much  of the sample that would remain  unchanged  after 140 seconds is 2.813 g

Explanation

Half life  is time taken for the quantity  to reduce  to half its original value.

if the half life  for Scandium  is 35 sec, then the number  of half life in 140 seconds

=140 sec/ 35 s = 4 half life

Therefore 45 g after first half life = 45 x1/2 =22.5 g

               22.5 g after second half life = 22.5 x 1/2 =11.25 g

            11.25 g after third half life = 11.25 x 1/2 = 5.625 g

             5.625 after  fourth half life = 5.625 x 1/2 = 2.813

therefore 2.813 g  of Scandium 47 remains  unchanged.

Answer:

Explanation:

True or false 4 questions help please!

Most mixtures are not physical changes.

True

False   FALSE  when I add solid NaCl salt to water I no longer have a solid salt, I have a solution of sodium and chlorid ions in liquid water.  this is  physical change

Chemical Changes do not create a new substance.

True

False  FALSE 0ne of the proofs that you have a chemical change is the presence of a new substance

Fire is an example of a Chemical Change.

True  TRUE  fire is oxygen reacting wiIh mattter to form new compounds

False

Explosions are not chemical changes.

It depends on the explosion  if I blow up a balloon until it POPS!! that is physical chame.  If I light a firecracker and it explodes, that is a chemical change of oxygen reacting with hot gunpowder

A change in color and odor are both examples of chemical changi

I would rewrite the question as  

A change in color and odor  both INDICATE a chemical change

and that is

True  TRUE

False

F

True   Fire is an example of a Chemical Change.

True

False

Explosions are not chemical changes.

True

False
