For what type of compound are we unable to write a molecular formula?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anna007 [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Ionic compounds

Explanation:

Molecular formula consists of chemical symbols for constituent elements followed by the numeric subscripts describing number of the atoms of each element present in one molecule of the compound.

On the other hand, ionic compounds do not exist in the form of molecules. They are in the form of crystal lattice in the solid state which contains many ions each of cation and anion.

<u>Thus, a ionic compounds are unable to write a molecular formula. Empirical formulas to used to represent them.</u>

Consider the reactivity of phenol, bromobenzene, toluene, and nitrobenzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution.
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The most reactive compound is:<u> Phenol </u>  because the<u> electron donating</u> character of the <u>alcohol group</u> increases the rate of the reaction.

The least reactive compound is <u>nitrobenzene</u>

because the <u>electron withdrawing</u> character of the<u> nitro group</u> decreases the rate of the reaction.

Explanation:

  • PHENOL-: Any of a group of organic compounds with a hydroxyl (OH) group bound to a carbon atom in an aromatic ring is known as phenol. The word phenol is also the basic name for its simplest member, monohydroxybenzene (C6H5OH), also known as benzenol or carbolic acid, in addition to being the common name for the entire family.
  • ELECTRON DONATING CHARACTER-: Via the carbon atom it is bound to, an electron donating group (EDG) has the net effect of increasing electron density in a molecule. EDGs alter a molecule's reactivity by increasing electron density on neighboring carbon atoms: EDGs make nucleophiles stronger.
  • ALCOHOL GROUP-:Each of a class of organic compounds that have one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups bound to an alkyl group's carbon atom (hydrocarbon chain)is called Alcohol. Alcohols are organic compounds of water (H_2O) in which one of the hydrogen atoms has been substituted by an alkyl group, which in organic structures is usually expressed by R.
  • NITROBENZENE-:The organic compound nitrobenzene has the chemical formula (C_6H_5NO_2). It's a pale yellow oil that's insoluble in water and smells like almonds. Greenish-yellow crystals form when it freezes. It is made on a wide scale as a precursor to aniline from benzene. It is sometimes used as a solvent in the laboratory, especially for electrophilic reagents.
  • ELECTRON WITHDRAWING GROUP-: An electron withdrawing group (EWG) is a type of group that reduces electron density in a molecule by bonding to a carbon atom. EWGs alter a molecule's reactivity by reducing electron density on neighboring carbon atoms.
  • NITRO GROUP-: The nitro group is one of the most widely used explosophores (functional groups that combine to form a compound explosive). In addition, the nitro group is a heavy electron-withdrawing group. CH bonds alpha (adjacent) to the nitro group may be acidic due to this property.

Zn(s)+S(s)-ZnS(s)<br> What is the product and physical state
Yuki888 [10]
<span> The Reactants are Zinc (Zn) and Sulfur (S).
The Product is Zinc Sulfide (ZnS).
All of them are solids.
The combined masses of the reactants must be 14 grams, too. Later in Chemistry you'll learn that's not really true, but it is for now.
Hope This Helps:)

Which statements correctly describe atmospheric pressure?
Shalnov [3]

Answers are:

2. It pushes on all objects that are on Earth’s surface.

3. It can be measured in atmospheres or kilopascals.

Barometric pressure (atmospheric pressure), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing height, because there are fewer air molecules above a given object.

Barometer is an instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric pressure (atm) is the force per unit area by the weight of air above that point.  

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric system pressure unit and equals to 1000 force of newton per square meter.

Atmospheric pressure results from molecular collisions of atmospheric gases.
