Ionic compound consists of a positively charged ion and a negatively charged anion. For example, NaCl. Na (sodium) is a cation (another word for positively charged ion) and Cl (chloride) is a anion (another way for negatively charged ion.)

Molecular compounds consists of only negatively charged ions. For example Br2I is a compound of 2 elements that are negatively charged.

Unlike ionic compounds, molecular compounds consists of two or more negatively charged elements.

Sulfur reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide (SO2(g), mc010-1.jpgHf = –296.8 kJ/mol) according to the equation below. mc010-
BlackZzzverrR [31]
We want: 
S(s) + O2(g) --> SO2(g) 
So the following are the given:
1) S(s) + 3/2O2(g) --> SO3(g) ∆H = -395.8 kJ/mole 
2) 2SO2 + O2 --> 2SO3(g) ∆H = -198.2 kJ/mole 
Reverse Equation 2) and then  divide by 2 
SO3(g) --> SO2(s) + 1/2O2(g) ∆H = +99.1 kJ/mole 
Add Equation 1) 
S(s) + O2(g) --> SO2(g) ∆H = -296.7 kJ/mole

Asuming all orbitals are in the same energy level which type of orbital has the lowest energy?
Virty [35]

Answer: C. S orbital

Explanation: The s orbital is the lowest orbital shell which is much closer to the nucleus. This orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, a perfect example for this is the 1s orbital which is the closest to the atomic nucleus.

He predicted an element with an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum that he name
skad [1K]

Answer:

Scandium

Explanation:

Mendeleev played an important role in the development of the modern periodic table. His periodic table was filled with gaps. He said that these gaps were elements that were yet to be discovered. He rightly predicted many elements which have now been discovered and fitted in their proper places in the periodic table.

He used the prefix ''eka'' to refer to elements whose properties were alike but were yet to be discovered at that time.

The compound named ekaboron which he predicted to have an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum was later discovered in 1879 and properly named scandium.

Please help me and explanation would be really awesome thank you!
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

So the answer would be 10 moles

Explanation:

1) Start with the molecular formula for water: H_{2} O!

2) If there are 10 moles of water use a mole ratio to calculate the moles of oxygen it would produce.

(This question is... interesting... since they chose an element that is diatomic in free state so It could TECHNICALLY be two answers, moles of O or moles of O_{2})

The mole ratio is 1 moles of H_{2}O to 1 moles of O. This is because the coefficient for oxygen in water is simple 1, so the ratio is 1:1.

3) that means if 10 moles of water decompose, they decompose into 10 moles of H_{2} and 10 moles of O.

Extra:

About what I was saying before about the question being slightly interesting:

10 moles of pure oxygen is produced but free state oxygen exists as O_{2} so it could possibly be 10 OR 5! However, notice it says elements. This leads me to believe the answer is 10 (monatomic oxygen) instead of 5 (free state/diatomic oxygen).

I hope this helps!
