What is the difference between a molecular formula and a molecular model?

Chemistry

 <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>

This is not chemistry but

see it is a triangular prim on it's side
V=BH
are of base times height
the base is a triangle
height is 18.5

base=1/2bh
b=8.6
h=8.4
base=1/2(8.6)(8.4)
base=36.12

V=bh
V=36.12*18.5
V=668.22

round
V=668.2 ft^3

#1: How are the elements arranged in the modern periodic table?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

1- The correct answer is C :


the elements arranged in the modern periodic table by increasing atomic number.


The explanation:


-The elements in the periodic table are arranged to increase the atomic number. All of these elements display several other trends and we can use the periodic law and table formation to predict their chemical, physical, and atomic properties.


2- The correct answer is C:


strontium, magnesium, calcium, beryllium are the elements which have similar properties.


The explanation:

-strontium, magnesium, calcium, beryllium, these belong to the alkaline earth metal group.

Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties .

3- The correct answer is A :


Potassium


The explanation:


-The elements potassium and sodium have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons and form +1 ions.



4- The correct answer is D


The explanation:


Mendeleev didn't include helium, neon, and argon in his periodic table because these elements had not yet been discovered.


5- The correct answer is B:


The periodic law describes trends seen across periods within the periodic table.


The explanation:


When the chemical elements are arranged, there is a pattern called the “periodic law” in their properties, in which elements in the same column (group) have similar properties

Bismuth oxide reacts with carbon to form bismuth metal: bi2o3(s) + 3c(s) → 2bi(s) + 3co(g) when 689 g of bi2o3 reacts with exces
ExtremeBDS [4]
Using the answer from the first part, we know that 2.957 moles of bismuth have formed. Moreover, the molar ratio between bismuth and carbon monoxide is:

2 : 3

Using the method of ratios,

2 : 3
2.957 : CO

CO = (3 * 2.957) / 2
CO = 4.4355

4.436 moles of carbon monoxide will be formed

Draw the structure of the neutral product formed in the reaction of dimethyl malonate and methyl vinyl ketone.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction between dimethyl malonate which is an active methylene group with an (∝, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound) i.e methyl vinyl ketone is known as a Micheal Addition reaction. The reaction mechanism starts with the base attack on the β-carbon to remove the acidic ∝-hydrogens and form a carbanion. The carbanion formed(enolate ion) attacks the methyl vinyl ketone(i.e. a nucleophilic attack at the β-carbon) to give a Micheal addition product, this is followed by the protonation to give the neutral product.
