Answer:

(a) barium chloride : BaCl₂ [the cation is barium and anion chloride]

(b) magnesium-nitride : Mg₃N₂ [Mg is cation and N anion]

(d) nitrogen trichloride : NCl₃

(e) dinitrogen trioxide : N₂O₃ [two nitrogens and three oxygen]

(f) tin(IV) chloride : SnCl₄

Explanation:

The formula of a compound comprises of the symbol of all the elements.

The element or ion having positive charge is written first followed by anion.

The number of any element is represented as subscript in the formula.

(a) barium chloride : BaCl₂ [the cation is barium and anion chloride]

(b) magnesium-nitride : Mg₃N₂ [Mg is cation and N anion]

(d) nitrogen trichloride : NCl₃

(e) dinitrogen trioxide : N₂O₃ [two nitrogens and three oxygen]

(f) tin(IV) chloride : SnCl₄

Answer: (a) barium chloride : $BaCl_2$

(b) magnesium-nitride: $Mg_3N_2$

(c) sulfur dioxide : $SO_2$

(d) nitrogen trichloride : $NCl_3$

(e) dinitrogen trioxide : $N_2O_3$

(f) tin(IV) chloride : $SnCl_4$

Explanation:

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first followed by the oxidation state of metal in roman numerals in square brackets.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

1. The less electronegative element is written first.

2. The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

a) Barium chloride is an ionic compound and the chemical formula will be $BaCl_2$

b) Magnesium-nitride is an ionic compound and the chemical formula will be $Mg_3N_2$

c) Sulfur dioxide is a covalent compound and the chemical formula will be $SO_2$

d) Nitrogen trichloride is a covalent compound and the chemical formula will be $NCl_3$

e) Dinitrogen trioxide is a covalent compound and the chemical formula will be $N_2O_3$

f) Tin(IV) chloride is an ionic compound and the chemical formula will be $SnCl_4$

Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

The osmosis is a movement from somewhere with a lower concentration of a substance to somewhere with a higher concentration of the same substance. Against the concentration gradient. It occurs through a semi permeable membrane which prevents a non desired substance cross it. Also, it's very important to biological process.

Put the steps in process of photosythensis order

arlik [135]

Answer:

Step 1- CO2 and H2O enter the leaf.

Step 2- Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2.

Step 3- The electrons move down to enzymes.

Step 4-Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH

Step 5-The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.

Step 6-The calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose

Step 7-calvin cycle. The second of two major stages in photosynthesis (following the light reactions), involving atmospheric CO2 fixation and reduction of the fixed carbon into carbohydrate.
