From the reaction between Cu and HNO₃, the formed gas is NO₂ instead of NO₃. Hence the correct balanced equation would be,
Cu(s) + 4HNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O<span>(l)
Here, Cu goes to </span>Cu(NO₃)₂ by changing its oxidation number from 0 to +2 while NO₃⁻ goes to NO₂ by reducing its oxidation state from +5 to +4 . Hence Cu is oxidized by HNO₃ in the reaction.
1. NA = Sodium, NA was the chemicals symbols for the element would be NA because in Latin it is natrium for natron in which is sodium in English, Sodium was created by Humphry Davy in the year of 1807. Element name Sodium, Chemical symbol NA atomic number, 11 Atomic mass 23.
2. AG = Sliver, AG was the chemicals symbols for the element would be AG because in Latin it is argentum in which in English means bright and also sliver. Element name Sliver Chemical symbol AG atomic number, 47 Atomic mass 108.
I'd say no because the only pure substances are elements
Naming conventions for 2 non-metals like Si and O are based on their valence electrons, Si has 4 electrons around it and Oxygen has 6, in order for you to satisfy octet (8 electrons around each element) surrounding each Si and O, you need another O, To name these 2, just write the name of the first element which has less electrons first then the second element to which you use a prefix "di" since it means there are two oxygen, then put the names together and end the name of the second element with "ide" (remove the last 4 letters).
Silicon + "dI" + ox +"ide"
