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 $SnCl_4$

2 nf3 + 225 kj -> n2 + 3f2 is it exothermic or endothermic

velikii [3]

Due to energy being a reactant instead of a product, the process is endothermic. The system must absorb a quantity of energy before it can react, so it must be an endothermic system.

A molecule is polar when:

natima [27]

The answer would be B. One region of the molecule has a small negative charge while another region has a small positive charge. However usually in polar bonds, charges or bond between the atoms are unequal (as opposed to having small equal charges).

Mrs. Jacobson is pushing a fridge to the right with a force of 100 N. The force pushing it

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's illustrate this; see the attachment.

We see that Mrs. Jacobson is pushing to the right with a force of 100 N and there is another opposite force pushing with a force of 15 N. Since these are in opposite directions, we can say that the force opposite to Mrs. Jacobson is pushing the fridge -15 N to the right (instead of 15 N to the left).

The net force would then be:

100 N + (-15 N) = 85 N to the right

The answer is A.
