What substances that are formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions

Chemistry
1 answer:
arsen [322]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

This are called compounds

Explanation:

Compounds are substances formed when two or more elements are combined, and by definite proportions they should always be in fixed ratios. The elements can be bonded together either through covalent or ionic bonding.

In a covalent bond the atoms in the compound are sharing their outermost electrons to achieve stability, for example, CF4, CH4, CH3COOH among others. Most of the organic compounds are made of covalent bonds.  

In an Ionic bond atoms in the compound are losing and gaining each others' valence electron (transfer of electrons) to form and achieve stability. For example, NaCl, KOH, CaBr2, among others. Inorganic compounds are in their majorities, ionic compounds.

We also can have metallic bonds.

nignag [31]

Answer:

F

O

N

Mg

Explanation

The key explanation here is that we need to know the trends in electronegativity value increase or decrease across the periods and down the group.

Across the periods, electronegativity is expected to increase. Hence, with the exception of the noble gases, the most electronegative elements are found further right on the periodic table. While electronegativity is expected to increase across the period, it decreases down the group.

Hence, if two elements are in the same group, further down we have the one with the less electronegative value. If two elements are in the same period, further right we have the more electronegative element.

Perform the following calculations and report each answer with the correct number of significant figures.
mart [117]

Answer:

Answers are given below

Explanation:

Significant figures:

When we add or subtract the values the number of significant figures after decimal in result must be equal to the given measurement having less number of decimal places.

b) 5.45 -2.3

3.2

d) 14.98 + 27,340 + 84.7593

27439.74

When we multiply or divide the values the number of significant figures must be equal to the less number of significant figures in given value.

a) 628 × 342

214776

we will round off this value into 3 significant figures.

215000

c) 28.0/13.483

2.08
