Chemistry
1 answer:
Svetllana [295]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a) X belongs to Group 1A

b) X belongs to Group 7A

c) x belongs to Group 3A

Explanation:

It is important to know the oxidation number of the elements in order to understand how the answers were obtained.

The oxidation number is obatined from their valency (or put it simply, group number).

Also, the oxidation number of a molecule is Zero.

In the first option,

O has an ox. number of -2, P has an ox. number of +5, and the molecule has an ox number of 0.

In the form of an equation we have,

3(x) + 5 + 4(-2) = 0

3x + 5 - 8 = 0

3x - 3 = 0

x = 3/3

x = 1 (Group 1).

In the second option,

Ca has an ox. number of +2, and the molecule has an ox. number of 0.

In the form of an equation we have,

2 + 2(x) = 0

2x = -2

x = -2/2

x = -1

This means it needs one mre electron to complete its octet. a characteristic of the group 7 elements.

In the third option,

S has an ox. number of +6, O has an ox. number of +2 and the molecule has an ox. number of 0.

In the form of an equation we have,

2(x) + 3[6 + 4(-2)] = 0

2x + 3(-2) = 0

2x = 6

x = 6/2 = 3 (Group 3)

Answer:

the sketch of the molecule

Explanation:

the chemical formula can only provide the type and number of different elements/compounts in the molecule, but there are lots of different ways they could arrange depending on the formula. A sketch of the molecule would show what type of bonds might be happening and where the elements are located in the compound.

Calculate the atomic mass of nitrogen if the two common isotopes of
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14.0067 amu.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as two or more forms of a chemical element that are made up of equal numbers of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons.

Generally, the isotopes of a chemical element have the same chemical properties because of their atomic number but different physical properties due to their atomic weight (mass number).

The two isotopes of nitrogen are nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15.

Given the following data;

Relative abundance of N-14 = 99.63%

Atomic mass of N-14 = 14.003

Relative abundance of N-15 = 0.37%

Atomic mass of N-15 = 15.000

The atomic mass is;

14.003 × (99.63/100) + 15.000 × (0.37/100)

Atomic mass = 14.003 × (0.9963) + 15.000 × (0.0037)

Atomic mass = 13.9512 + 0.0555

Atomic mass = 14.0067 amu.

<em>Therefore, the atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.0067 amu. </em>
