<span>Molecular compounds, which are represented by molecules, are usually made of non-metals only (or of metalloids and non-metals). Ionic compounds, which are represented by formula units, are made of metals and non-metals.
More detail if you're interested: Molecules and formula units are the representative particles for molecular and ionic compounds, respectively. By that I mean, one unit of a molecular compound is a molecule...a bundle of atoms covalently bonded that exists separately from all the other molecules. One unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit. A formula unit is a representation of the compound's formula. For example, the formula unit of NaCl is one Na^+1 ion and one Cl^-1 ion. The formula unit of AlCl3 is one Al^+3 ion and three Cl^-1 ions. Ionic compounds don't have separate bundles of atoms like molecular compounds do, so the formula unit is just the smallest number of ions that it takes to represent the formula. </span>
Mass = m = 40 grams
Volume = V = 9 cm³
Density = d = ?
Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume.
So,
d = m/V
Using the values, we get
d = 40/9 = 4.44 g/cm³
This means the density of material would be 4.44 g/cm³
Answer:
B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.
Explanation:
The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.
As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.
Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.
- A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.
Answer:
90 grams. Input mass = output mass
