Explanation:
The chemical formula magnesium sulfide written as MgS and NOT
because charge on magnesium ion is +2 and charge on sulfide ion is -2.
Therefore, these charges will cancel out each other as we write the formula in simplest crisscross method.
Also, the numbers in a chemical formula display the total number of atoms attached with each other or central atom.
For example, in
there are two chlorine atoms attached to one calcium atom.
Therefore,
denotes one sulfur atom is attached to magnesium atom. Hence, we do not write the formula of magnesium sulfide as
because this shows two magnesium atoms are attached to two sulfur atoms which is not true.
Answer:
6H2 + P4→ 4PH3
Explanation:
Phosphorus has 4 in it and hydrogen has 3 in it. in order to balance it, we have to put 4 in front of phosphine so that the phosphorus on the product side has an equal amount as to the one on the reactant side.
the only one left to balance is hydrogen and so in order to balance it we put a 6 on h2 because the hydrogen in the product size becomes 12 (4 * 3).
therefore the hydrogen on the reactant side becomes 12 as well (6 * 2)
Answer:
Explanation:
This is the Difference Between a Hypothesis and a Theory. In scientific reasoning, a hypothesis is an assumption made before any research has been completed for the sake of testing. A theory on the other hand is a principle set to explain phenomena already supported by data.
