Because the cell membrane (plasmamembrane) is a membrane. Very simply put, you can think of it like a piece of cloth. If you have a piece of cloth, water can move through the small holes, but something large, like e.g. a piece of cheese cannot.

Give the formulas of the compounds in each set (a) lead(l|) oxide and lead(lV) oxide; (b) lithium nitride, lithium nitrite, and

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

For a: The formula of lead (II) oxide and lead (IV) oxide is $PbO\text{ and }PbO_2$ respectively.

For b: The formula of lithium nitride, lithium nitrite and lithium nitrate is $Li_3N,LiNO_2\text{ and }LiNO_3$ respectively.

For c: The formula of Strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide is $SrH_2\text{ and }Sr(OH)_2$ respectively.

For d: The formula of magnesium oxide and manganese (II) oxide is $MgO\text{ and }MnO$ respectively.

Explanation:

All the given compounds are ionic compounds. This means that between the atoms complete sharing of electrons takes place.

For a:

Lead is the 82th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^2$ .

To form $Pb^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons and to form $Pb^{4+}$ ion, this element will loose 4 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for lead (II) oxide is PbO and for lead (IV) oxide is $PbO_2$

Thus, the formula of lead (II) oxide and lead (IV) oxide is $PbO\text{ and }PbO_2$ respectively.

For b:

Lithium is the 3rd element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^1$ .

To form $Li^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

Nitrite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $NO_2^{-}$

Nitrate ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $NO_3^{-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for lithium nitride is $Li_3N$ , for lithium nitrite is $LiNO_2$ and for lithium nitrate is $LiNO_3$

Thus, the formula of lithium nitride, lithium nitrite and lithium nitrate is $Li_3N,LiNO_2\text{ and }LiNO_3$ respectively.

For c:

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Hydrogen is the 1st element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^1$ .

To form $H^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron and is named as hydride ion.

Hydroxide ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $OH^{-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium hydride is $SrH_2$ and for strontium hydroxide is $Sr(OH)_2$

Thus, the formula of Strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide is $SrH_2\text{ and }Sr(OH)_2$ respectively.

For d:

Magnesium is the 12th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^2$ .

To form $Mg^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Manganese is the 25th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]3d^54s^2$

To form $Mn^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for magnesium oxide is MgO and for manganese (II) oxide is MnO.

Thus, the formula of magnesium oxide and manganese (II) oxide is $MgO\text{ and }MnO$ respectively.
