Answer : The correct formula of the given compound will be, $CaCl_2$

Explanation :

Calcium chloride is an ionic compound because calcium element is a metal and chloride element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

The charge on calcium is (+2) and the the charge on chloride is (-1). The charges are not balanced. Thus they combine and their charges are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $CaCl_2$ .

Hence, the formula of the compound calcium chloride will be $CaCl_2$

How many H atoms in 12H2O?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

24 atoms of H or 1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

simple method

1 H₂O has atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen

while 12H₂O will have 24 atoms of hydrogen and 12 atom of oxygen

by Avagadros number

molar mass of water H₂0=18.01528 g/mol

1 mole of H₂0 have 2 moles of Hydrogen

one mole of water= 6.02⋅10²³water molecules =1.2 x 10²⁴hydrogen atoms

12 mole of H₂O = 1.2 x 10²⁴ x 12= 1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms

<u />

1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms in 12 moles of H₂O

How do scientists classify intrusive igneous features? according to shape, texture, and their distance from the nearest volcanic

Nataliya [291]

according to shape, size, and their relationship to surrounding layers of rock

Explanation:

Scientists classify intrusive features according to their shape, size and relationship to surrounding layers of rocks.

Intrusive igneous features are the sills, di/kes, batholith, laccoiith, lopolith e.t.c

When magma cools and solidifies within the earth crust, they form intrusive igneous rocks.
Intrusive igneous rocks differs from one another in their shape, size and relationship to surrounding rocks.
For example, batholith is a large intrusive body that extends for several kilometers in the earth surface.
Sills and di/kes are smaller bodies. Sills forms parallel to orientation of rocks in an area. Di/kes are known to cut across the orientation.
