Why can't calcium hydroxide be written caoh2?

1 answer:

4 0

I'm assuming you mean without parenthesis and that's because if there are no parenthesis, then it looks like there is one Calcium, one Oxygen, and two Hydrogen instead of one Calcium and two Hydroxide like Ca(OH)2.

How does the number of subatomic particles change as the carbon isotope decays?

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

C decays by a process called beta decay. During this process, an atom of 14C decays into an atom of 14N, during which one of the neutrons in the carbon atom becomes a proton. This increases the number of protons in the atom by one, creating a nitrogen atom rather than a carbon atom.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer: option D) Conditions over the oceans change slowly because water takes more time than land to gain or lose heat.

This is because water has a high heat capacity meaning that, with the same amount of heat, it will change its temperature less than what substances with lower heat capacities do.

Which best explains why the trend in noble gas boiling points increases down the group?A) increasing dispersion interactions B)

zhenek [66]

Answer:

A) increasing dispersion interactions

Explanation:

Polarizability allows gases containing atoms or nonpolar molecules (for example, to condense. In these gases, the most important kind of interaction produces dispersion forces, attractive forces that arise as a result of temporary dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.

Dispersion forces, which are also called London forces, usually increase with molar mass because molecules with larger molar mass tend to have more electrons, and dispersion forces increase in strength with the number of electrons. Furthermore, larger molar mass often means a bigger atom whose electron distribution is more easily disturbed because the outer electrons are less tightly held by the nuclei.

Because the noble gases are all nonpolar molecules, the only attractive intermolecular forces present are the dispersion forces.

The condensed structural formula of the product of the reaction of 2,7-dimethyl-4-octene with hydrogen and metal catalyst.

Ch3 CH(CH3) CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH(CH3) CH3

Equation is as follows

CH3 CH(CH3) CH2 C=C CH2 CH(CH3) CH3 + H2→

CH3 CH(CH3)CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH(CH3) CH3

metal catalyst example is nickel and the name of structure formed is
2,7- dimethyl octane
