How many atoms of chlorine are in the carbon tetrachloride molecule?

Chemistry
2 answers:
zaharov [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

4 atoms of Chlorine

Explanation:

This is actually easy to explain,

First we have here a type of nomenclature. This one is the sistematic nomenclature, and begins by naming the number of atoms that one element has, beggining for the non metal first, and then the metal or the non metal acting like a metal. In this case, the Carbon is acting like a metal.

The number of atoms are named by a prefix of the number. Each number has a determined prefix. Here are some of them:

one = 1 = mono

two = 2 = bi or di

three = 3 = tri

Four = 4 = tetra

Five = 5 = penta

Six = 6 = Hexa

So tetrachloride, means that we have 4 atoms of chlorine in the molecule and the molecule is this one: CCl4

Why does hydrochloric acid have a higher boiling point than diatomic fluorine? The stabilizing effect of dipole interactions in
il63 [147K]
The correct answer would be the fourth option. Hydrochloric acid has a higher boiling point than fluorine molecule because the former is a polar molecule which means that it has stronger bonds than fluorine which is a non-polar molecule. Stronger bonds require more energy to break these bonds.

What are the similarities between DIFFUSION, FACILITATED DIFFUSION and OSMOSIS?
nalin [4]
Osmosis and diffusion are related processes that display similarities. Both osmosis and diffusion equalize the concentration of two solutions. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Osmosis and facilitated diffusion both account for movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
