Answer:
It means the chemical entity is a radical
Explanation:
When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.
While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.
In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.
Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?
The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.
Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.
I think it could be C maybeee though
Noble Gas. Metals have 1 or 2 Valence Electrons. Halogens have 7 Valence Electrons. Semi-Metals can have different amounts.
Answer:
if an atom gains an electron, the ion has negetive charge
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that the mass of reactants entering a reaction must be equal to the mass of the products exiting it. In this case, we only have 2 reactants, Fe and S, and we only have 1 product, FeS. Therefore we expect the total mass of the Fe and S reactants to equal the mass of FeS. This gives us 112 g + 64 g = 176 g of FeS, which is choice D.
