How are elements and compounds similar

Chemistry
2 answers:
Hatshy [7]4 years ago

I don't like to just give people the answer...so I'll explain what they are as well as differences and you should be able to deduce how they are similar. Compounds are basically a mix of atoms from different elements. An Element is a pure substance made up of one type of atom (you find them on the periodic table). Compounds can be broken down into similar forms...elements cannot. Compounds list is basically endless...so far there are only about 117 known elements. Compounds are expressed as a formula...Elements are expressed using symbols. Hope this helps get you on the right track!

Elements and compounds are pure chemical substances found in nature. The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen. Examples of compounds include water (H2O) and salt (Sodium Chloride - NaCl)

If the pH of vinegar is 3.0, what is the concentration of H+ in vinegar?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: The concentration of H^{+} ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.

Explanation:

Given: pH = 3.0

pH is the negative logarithm of concentration of hydrogen ion.

The expression for pH is as follows.

pH = - log [H^{+}]

Substitute the value into above expression as follows.

pH = - log [H^{+}]\\3.0 = - log [H^{+}]\\conc. of H^{+} = antilog (- 3.0)\\= 0.001 M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of H^{+} ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.
