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.

3. Write DISSOCIATION or IONIZATION equations for the following chemicals:

Romashka [77]

Answer:

a) HNO3 -> H+ + NO3- disassociation of Nitric Acid; to yield a Nitrate ion and a Proton, H+, or as a Hydronium ion H3O+

b) H2S04 -> Disassociation of Sulfuric Acid; simple way- 2H+ + SO4- -

c) H2S hydrogen sulphide in water is an acid; thus H+ HS- disassociation.

d) NaOH -> dissociation of Na+ + OH-; this is complete; sodium hydroxide is deliquescent, meaning it will draw water - EVEN from the air! Strong Base

e) Na2CO3 -> 2Na+ CO3- - Ionization of sodium carbonate - a salt

f) Na2S04 -> 2Na+ + SO4 - - ionization of sodium sulphate - a salt

g) NaCl -> Na+ + Cl- ionization of the salt, Sodium Chloride

Explanation:

Salts ionize at different rates; acids or bases dissociate; these are mostly strong acids and NaOH, a strong base.

Draw the structural formula of the major product of the reaction of (S)-2,2,3-trimethyloxirane with MeOH, H . Use the wedge/hash

Katarina [22]

Answer:

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have an epoxide opening in acid medium. The first step then is the protonation of the oxygen. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most stable carbocation. The nucleophile ( $CH_3OH$ ) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is deprotonated to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule (S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol.

See figure 1

The s orbitals are said to be non directional what does it mean

ser-zykov [4K]

s - orbitals have a spherical symmetry and the probability of finding an electron in an s orbital is equal for equal distance in x, y or z direction. i mean the probability of lets say an electron found at a distance 10 units from nuclues, its value will be same for x, y and z when u go 10 units distnace from nucleus in these directions. then the value at 5 units would be some value which also would be same for x,y and z.

Easier explanation is that if u place a ball, can u tell towards which axis it is oriented? no, its equally in all directions. So, non- directional.

However, if you have p- orbitals like dumb bells, a dumb bell can be oriented in three different directions, either x or y or z. see the pics.

Is there a mathematical pattern in the number of

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The orbital shapes are actually representation of (Ψ)2 all over the orbit simplified ... ψnlml(r,θ,ϕ)=Rnl(r)Ymll(θ,ϕ) , ... and thus it is directly linked to the angular and radial nodes. ... for different quantum values(which can be assigned to different orbitals are ) .... The two types of nodes are angular and radial.
