valancy of x is 3 while that of y is 1. write a formula of the compounds when each of the seperaty combines with oxygen

Chemistry

Vaselesa [24]3 years ago

Answer:

X₂O₃ , Y₂O

Explanation:

Valency of an element tells how well that element can form compounds with other atoms.

It sometimes, is also determined by the number of hydrogen atoms that it combines with.

Oxygen usually has a valency of 2, or oxidation state of -2.

That means oxygen will need 2 more electrons in it's outer shell to form a configuration of a noble gas(octet configuration).

The oxidation state of an atom in a molecule gives the number of valence electrons it has gained or lost.

Assuming both X and Y are less electronegative than oxygen, X  has a valency of 3 and OS of +3.

While forming a neutral compound, we need no net charge on the compound. In X₂O₃,

total charge on X is 2 x (OS of X)= 2 x ( +3) = +6

total charge on O is 3 x (OS of O)= 3 x ( -2) = -6

Net charge is 0.

Similarly, in Y₂O

total charge on Y is 2 x (OS of Y)= 2 x ( +1) = +2

total charge on O is 1 x (OS of O)= 1 x ( -2) = -2

Net charge is 0.

Investigate Weathering and Erosion 1. Describe at least one part of the experimental procedure that you thought was essential to
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Controlling the environment is the most key procedures for getting good results.

Explanation:

The control environment for an experiment is the essential part for getting good results. In control environment, there is no or less chances of disruption

from the external environment which can cause the results of the data more acceptable. So the scientists prefers laboratory for performing experiment as compared to outer environment. So in my opinion for getting better results, the control environment is the most necessary experimental procedure.

Which pair shares the same empirical formula?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:- 3. CH_3 and C_2H_6

Explanations:- An empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in the molecule/compound.

For example, the molecular formula of benzene is C_6H_6 . The ratio of C to H in it is 6:6 that could be simplified to 1:1. So, an empirical formula of benzene is CH.

In the first pair, the ratio of C to H in first molecule is 2:4 that could be simplified to 1:2 and  the empirical formula is CH_2 . In second molecule the ratio of C to H is 6:6 and it could be simplified to 1:1. and the empirical formula is CH. Empirical formulas are different for both the molecules of first pair and so it is not the right choice.

In second pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:2, so the empirical formula is CH_2 . The C to H ratio for second molecule is 1:4, so the empirical formula is CH_4 . Here also, the empirical formulas are not same and hence it is also not the right choice.

In third pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:3, so the empirical formula is CH_3 . In second molecule the C to H ratio is 2:6 and it is simplified to 1:3. So, the empirical formula for this one is also CH_3 . Hence. this is the correct choice.

In fourth pair, first molecule empirical formula is CH. Second molecule has 2:4 that is 1:2 mole ratio of C to H and so its empirical formula is CH_2 . As the empirical formulas are different, it is not the right choice.

So, the only and only correct pair is the third one. 3. CH_3 and C_2H_6
