These ions are polyatomic ions. The prefix "poly-" means "many," and the rest of the word "atomic" clearly refers to the atoms themselves. So, if there are two or more atoms in an ion, this ion is polyatomic.
Covalent bonds are strong bonds. Atoms that share pairs of electrons form molecules. A molecule is a group of atoms held together by covalent bonds. A diatomic molecule is a molecule containing only two atoms.
When you have both of these ( The periodic table of elements and the formula of your compound) you are able to calculate the R.M.M ( Relative atomic mass) of that compound.
For example the formula of a NaCl ( Table salt ) has the elemnt Na and Cl.
We look at the atomic mass of both of these compounds
Na - 23
Cl - 35.5
R.M.M = 23 +35.5 = 58.5
Hope this helps :).
B. the periodic law
Explanation:
The periodic law was not explained by the Dalton's atomic theory.
The periodic law was first postulated by Dimitry Mendeleef and Lothar Meyer around 1869 where they independently arrived at the periodic table or chart.
- The table was based on the periodic law which states that "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".
- The modern periodic law was restated by Henry Moseley in the early 1900s. He changed the basis of the law to atomic number.
- The present periodic law is stated as "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".
The laws of conservation of mass, multiple proportions and definite proportions are all explained by the Dalton's atomic theory.
