Answer : The correct formula of copper(I) oxide is, (3) Cu_2O

Explanation :

Copper(I) oxide is an ionic compound because copper element is a metal and oxide element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

  • Positive ion is written first.
  • The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
  • In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in-front of positive ions.

The charge on copper is (+1) and the the charge on oxide is (-2). The charges are not balanced.  The charges are balanced by the criss-cross method.

Hence, the formula of copper(I) oxide is, Cu_2O

The answer is (3) Cu2O. Copper (I) has an oxidation state of +1 (that's what the "I" indicates). You can also think of this as copper (I) having a charge of +1. Oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 (that's just a rule you have to know), and you can think of it as oxygen having a charge of -2. You need oxidation numbers in a neutral compound to add up to 0 (or charges in a neutral compond to add up to 0), so you need two Cu to balance the O, which is Cu2O.

Predict the sign of ΔSsys for each of the following processes. Which are positive? (a) Gasoline vapors mix with air in a car eng
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.

How many total electrons can be contained in the 4d sublevel? <br> 2<br> 6<br> 10<br> 14
qaws [65]
<span>The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max.
So, having this in mind, 10 electrons in total can be contained in the 4d sublevel.
