Answer:
The general formula for an acid is HnX where H stands for hydrogen, n stands for the number of hydrogen ions, and X stands for the monatomic or polyatomic ions ( since those are negative charged ions, they are called anions).
Explanation:
The general formula for an acid is HnX) where H stands for hydrogen, n stands for the number of hydrogen ions, and X stands for the monatomic or polyatomic ions ( since those are negative charged ions, they are called anions).
An example is H2SO4, also called sulfuric acid
It shows that H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen atoms, so in the formula HnX n=2
X fro H2SO4 is SO42-, it's a polyatomic ion. Since it has a negative charge of 2- it needs 2 hydrogen atoms to bind and form H2SO4
Answer: To show the number of atoms present.
Explanation: As in CO² (Carbon dioxide), there is a small 2 next to the symbol "O" (oxygen) to explain that there are two oxygen atoms.
1) Evaporization is phase change process in which the water changes from a liquid to a gas (water vapor). Solar radiation is the source of energy for evaporation.
2) Condensation is phase change process in which the water changes from a gas to a liquid, the vapor becomes a cloud.
3) Precipitation is falling of the condensed water vapor as rain, snow, fog drip.
The water cycle (hydrological cycle) is the continuous movement of water all around the Earth.
Answer:
2 electrons
Explanation:
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and to be stable it needs 8. That means it needs 2 more electrons to have a full octet.
