The compound XCl is classified as Ionic if x represents the element?

2 answers:

6 0

Well since chlorine upon receiving a valence electron from the X element, we would know that the element would be a metal, based on the charge of Cl, after it receives a valence electron is -1, the metal would have to give 1 valence electron as well, and thus the possible elements can be any metal within the group 1 of the periodic table of elements. Lithium, Potassium etc.

Answer:

X belongs to the alkali metals which can be lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium.

Explanation:

Ionic bond: This type of bond is formed when there is a complete transfer of electrons from one element to another element. In this bonding one element is always a metal and another is a non-metal.

Chlorine is the element of group 17 and third period. The atomic number of chlorine is 17 and the symbol of the element is Cl.

The electronic configuration of the element chlorine is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

Thus, chlorine need one electron to become stable and form ionic bond.

Also, the ionic compound has the formula XCl which means that the valency of X is +1.

<u>Thus X belongs to the alkali metals which can be lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium.</u>

(CH3)2-CH-CH2-O(CH3)3IUPAC NAME

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane

Note: there is a mistake in formula, the correct formula is (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O-C(CH₃)₃ not (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O(CH₃)₃, because oxygen is a divalent compound.

Explanation:

<em>Structural formula is attached</em>

IUPAC naming rules

1. start numbering the chain from the functional group. In this compound we start from oxygen side.

2. Here we can see that at position 1 there is an oxy group along with a tertiary carbon having three methyl groups. So we write it as 1-tert-butoxy. Which means that there is a methoxy group at position 1 along with a tertiary carbon.

3. At position 2 we can see that there is a methyl group attached to the main chain, so we write it as 2-methyl.

4. Now we count the total number of carbons in the main chain. As we can see that there are 3 carbons in the remaining or parent chain, so we write it as propane

5. So the IUPAC name of the compound will be 1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane

Most of the energy from a lower trophic level is converted to

frutty [35]

The correct answer to the question above is heat. Most of the energy from a lower trophic level is converted into heat. When an organism from a higher trophic level consumed an organism from a lower trophic level, it is mostly heat that is being converted to.
