They're totally unrelated. No matter how low or high the molecular weight, you can always use more or less of it.

Write the formula for potassium oxide. why do you not need prefixes in the name ​
Molodets [167]

Potassium oxide: K₂O.

There's no need for prefixes since K₂O is an ionic compound.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Find the two elements on a periodic table:

  • Potassium- K- on the left end of period four.
  • Oxygen- O- near the right end of periodic two.

Elements on the bottom-left corner of the periodic table are metals. Those on the top-right corner are nonmetals.

  • Potassium is a metal,
  • Oxygen is a nonmetal.

A metal and a nonmetal combine to form an ionic compound. Potassium oxide is likely to be an ionic compound. It contains two types of ions:

  • Potassium ions: Potassium is group 1 of the periodic table. It is an alkaline metal. Like other alkaline metals such as sodium Na, potassium K tends to lose one electron and form ions of charge +1 in compounds. The ion would be K⁺.
  • Oxide ions from oxygen: Oxygen is the second most electronegative element on the periodic table. It tends to gain two electrons and form the oxide ion \text{O}^{2-} when it combines with metals.

The two types of ions carry opposite charges. They shall pair up at a certain ratio such that they balance the charge on each other. The charge on each \text{O}^{2-} ion is twice that on a \text{K}^{+} ion. Each \text{K}^{+} would pair up with two \text{O}^{2-}. Hence the subscript in the formula: \text{K}_{\bf 2}\text{O}.

There are two classes of compounds:

  • Covalent compounds, which need prefixes, and
  • Ionic compounds, which need no prefix.

Prefixes are needed only in covalent compounds. For instance in the covalent compound carbon dioxide \text{CO}_2, the prefix di- indicates that there are two oxygen atoms in the formula \text{CO}_2. However, there's no need for prefix in ionic compounds such as \text{K}_2\text{O}.

Cans of regular soda have volumes with a mean of 14.5 oz and a standard deviation of 0.18 oz. What is the maximum "usual" value
tangare [24]

Answer:

14.68 oz

Explanation:

The mean volume is the average volume of all the regular soda cans put together; 14.5 oz. The standard deviation 0.18 oz is the maximum deviation from the mean. It can be 14.5-0.18= 14.32 oz which is the usual minimum or 14.5 + 0.18=14.68 oz which is the usual maximum
