Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by Si and O?

Naming conventions for 2 non-metals like Si and O are based on their valence electrons,  Si has 4 electrons around it and Oxygen has 6, in order for you to satisfy octet (8 electrons around each element) surrounding each Si and O, you need another O,  To name these 2, just write the name of the first element which has less electrons first then the second element to which you use a prefix "di" since it means there are two oxygen, then put the names together and end the name of the second element with "ide" (remove the last 4 letters).
Silicon + "dI" + ox +"ide"

How do you do these?
Agata [3.3K]

Solve these problems like weighted averages:

The first one:

Multiply the masses (isotope numbers) by the decimal form of the percentage. Add them

0.076 (6) + 0.924 (7) = 6.924


The second one:

0.2 (10) + 0.8 (11) = 10.8


If you think about it, these answers make sense. 6.924 is much closer to 7 than to 6 (since there's a lot more lithium-7 than there is lithium-6). 10.8 is closer to 11 than to 10.

Which of the following statements concerning equilibrium constants is true? The equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is
Brut [27]

Answer:

When the coefficients in a balanced chemical reaction are multiplied by two, the equilibrium constant is not affected.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is known to remain steady.

Even if all the coefficients of all the species in the reaction are multiplied by two, the value of the equilibrium constant will reamin the same because the equilibrium position will not change as a result of that.

Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?
Lunna [17]

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.

Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond
maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.
