Answer:
A binary covalent compound is composed of two different elements (usually nonmetals). For example, a molecule of chlorine trifluoride, ClF3 contains 1 atom of chlorine and 3 atoms of fluorine.
Rule 1. The element with the lower group number is written first in the name; the element with the higher group number is written second in the name. Exception: when the compound contains oxygen and a halogen, the name of the halogen is the first word in the name.
Rule 2. If both elements are in the same group, the element with the higher period number is written first in the name.
Rule 3. The second element in the name is named as if it were an anion, i.e., by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., fluorine = F, "fluoride" = F-; sulfur = S, "sulfide" = S2-).
Rule 4. Greek prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the chemical formula for the compound. Exception: if the compound contains one atom of the element that is written first in the name, the prefix "mono-" is not used.
Explanation:
Answer:
Na+ is smaller than Na because, it has given away one electron because of which the electron shielding gets stronger due to more protons and less electrons. Whereas, Cl- is larger than Cl because it has gained an extra electron and so, the no.07/12/2010
Explanation:
when sodium metal is dropped in water, hydrogen gas in liberated due to extreme heat released as the reaction is exothermic, gas catches fire.
Answer/Explanation:
Methanol has a molecular weight (32.04 g/mol), low-boiling point and because of its low boiling point, methanol readily evaporates at room temperature.
Under these specified non-standard conditions, the partial pressure of methanol is lower than its vapor pressure and this explains the reason for the spontaneous evaporation exhibited by methanol.
