What are the similarities between molecules and elements

1 answer:

7 0

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.

Molecular hydrogen (H2), molecular oxygen (O2) and molecular nitrogen (N2) are not compounds because each is composed of a single element. Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are compounds because each is made from more than one element. The smallest bit of each of these substances would be referred to as a molecule. For example, a single molecule of molecular hydrogen is made from two atoms of hydrogen while a single molecule of water is made from two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

When ethyl ether is heated with excess HI for several hours, the only organic product obtained is ethyl iodide. T/F

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Ethers react with HI to form the corresponding alcohols and alkyl iodides.

Similarly, ethyl ether react with excess of HI to form ethanol and ethyl iodide. But in the excess of HI as mentioned in the question, ethanol too undergoes $S^{N}2$ reaction with HI to form ethyl iodide.

<u>Hence, ethyl iodide is the only product when ethyl ether reacts with excess of HI for several hours.</u>

There are 48.72 g Fluorine ions

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements

In the same compound, although from different sources and formed by different processes, it will still have the same composition/comparison

%F in CaF₂ :

$\tt \%F=\dfrac{2.Ar~F}{MW~CaF_2}\times 100\%\\\\\%F=\dfrac{2.19}{78}\times 100\5=48.72\%$

mass of Fluorine :

$\tt 48.72\%\times 200=97.44~g$

So mass Fluorine ions(2 ions F in CaF₂⇒Ca²⁺+2F⁻) :

$\tt =\dfrac{97.44}{2}=48.72~g$

What would happen if the sand dunes in an area were destroyed?

Komok [63]

Answer:

<u>Our beaches would be unprotected</u>

In the short-term, these artificial sand hills will be destroyed by the elements. Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. ... The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.

- surfertoday

Natural sand dunes play a vital role in protecting our beaches, coastline and coastal developments from coastal hazards such as erosion, coastal flooding and storm damage. Sand dunes protect our shorelines from coastal erosion and provide shelter from the wind and sea spray.
