 <span>Molecular compounds, which are represented by molecules, are usually made of non-metals only (or of metalloids and non-metals). Ionic compounds, which are represented by formula units, are made of metals and non-metals. 

More detail if you're interested: Molecules and formula units are the representative particles for molecular and ionic compounds, respectively. By that I mean, one unit of a molecular compound is a molecule...a bundle of atoms covalently bonded that exists separately from all the other molecules. One unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit. A formula unit is a representation of the compound's formula. For example, the formula unit of NaCl is one Na^+1 ion and one Cl^-1 ion. The formula unit of AlCl3 is one Al^+3 ion and three Cl^-1 ions. Ionic compounds don't have separate bundles of atoms like molecular compounds do, so the formula unit is just the smallest number of ions that it takes to represent the formula. </span>

How do you tell by the formula that an element on the periodic table is a metal
Dmitrij [34]
The metalloids are on the right side of the periodic table B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, and At. The nonmetals are also on the right side next to the metalloids, there should be a He at the top right of the periodic table and there should be one more nonmetal at the top left of the periodic table that is H. And from the metals they are all on the middle next to the metalloids, starting from Li, Be, Na, and Mg as so on all of those are metals.

For the reaction 5 o2(g) + 4 nh3(g)  4 no(g) + 6 h2o(g) if nh3 is being consumed at a rate of 0.50 m•s –1 , at what rate is h2o
Anika [276]
<span>In the given chemical equation, 4 moles of nh3 gas react with 5 moles of oxygen to form 6moles of water vapours (h2o). Hence each mole of nh3 contributes to production of 1.5 moles of water vapours. therefore, the rate of formation of h2o is 1.5*0.5 ms-1, i.e 0.75 moles/sec</span>

A) What volume of concentrated nitric acid (15.8 M) is needed to prepare 4.0 L of a 2.0 M solution?
azamat

Answer:

A.0.51L

B 1.67L

Explanation:

using the formula ;C1V1 =C2V2

15.8×V1=2×4

15.8V1=8

V1=8/15.8

V1=0.51L

apply the same method for B
