O2- indicates an ion of oxygen having two extra electrons. I.e., since an oxygen atom normally has 8 protons and 8 electrons, this ion has 10 electrons (-10 charge) and 8 protons (+8 charge) giving it a charge of -2 (-10 + 8 = -2).
Answer:
Forensic drug chemists analyze samples of unknown materials including powders, liquids and stains to determine the chemical identity or characteristics of the compounds that make up the sample. samples submitted as evidence in a drug-related case can contain one compound or a mixture of many compounds.
Imagine a chemist is in the lab and trying to make some chemical reactions happen. In one reaction she reacts chemicals in an exothermic reaction and there is an increase in entropy. A second chemical reaction she is trying to run is endothermic and there is a decrease in entropy. Which of the two reactions is more likely to occur and why?
I'm assuming false but really have no clue
Answer:
- The name for the potassium oxide's structure is ionic.
Properties:
- High melting point.
- Soluble in water.
Explanation:
- The ionic structure it is formed by a cation (atom with positive charge) and an anion (atom with negative charge). In this case, potassium is the cation and the oxigen is the anion.
- Since potassium oxide is an ionic compound, it has a high melting point, because of the strong bonds. Also, it is soluble in polar solvents, like water, because its ions generate polarity in the molecule.
