The answer to this question would be:
NCl3 is a molecular compound (two or more nonmetals), and therefore in its name prefixes indicate the number of each type of atom. so NCl3 is nitrogen trichloride<span>.
</span><span>The compound AlCl3 is an ionic compound (metal and nonmetal), and therefore does not require prefixes. so AlCl3 is aluminum chloride.
</span><span>
Both of nitrogen and chlorine is nonmetal, but aluminum is metal. Metal with nonmetal will make an ionic compound that doesn't need prefixes.</span>
I know what you're asking but I don't think the question is stated properly. Technically, an atom will not join with an "oxide" ion; i.e., the oxide ion is an atom of oxygen to which two electrons have been added. An oxide ion will add to 2 K ions or 1 Ca ion. The K ion has lost just one electron so it takes two of them to equal the 2- charge on the oxide ion whereas the Ca ion has lost two electrons and it takes only one of them to equal the charge on the oxide ion.
Answer:
Malachite
Explanation:
Malachite is the only listed compound that must contain copper and oxygen.
Copper and oxygen are both elements found on the periodic table. They have the following symbols;
Copper = Cu
Oxygen = O
From the given choices, only option 1 has the symbol Cu and O.
So only malachite contains both copper and oxygen.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The action that leads to crystal formation in minerals is that atoms or molecules form repeating patterns. Minerals are known to have a crystalline structure in which they exhibit short range and long range patterns.
