Of any substance? What about two powders such as 1/2 cup of white flour, then mixing 1/2 cup of salt together with the flour. This would then form a more coarse mixture being that the two particles differ in shape.
Data: molar mass 470 g/mol
Percent composition:
Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%
Solution:
1) Convert % to molar ratios
A. Base: 100 g
=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol
Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol
B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number
Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00
Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00
=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl
2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:
HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04
3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:
470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2
=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.
Answers:
Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2
ionic bond:
Bond formed when an atom donates its electron and other atom receives those electrons.
polar covalent:
Bond formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.
Nonpolar covalent:
Bond formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.
Metallic:
Formed between two metals.
So the bond between :
Phosphorus and chlorine-polar covalent bond as it is formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.
Potassium and oxygen -ionic bond as here potassium donates its electron and oxygen receives those electrons
Fluorine and fluorine -Non polar covalent bond as formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.
Copper and aluminum-metallic bond as Formed between two metals.
Carbon and fluorine -polar covalent bond as it is formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.
Carbon and hydrogen --Non polar covalent bond as formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.
Aluminum and oxygen--ionic bond as here aluminum donates its electron and oxygen receives those electrons
Silver and copper --metallic bond as Formed between two metals.
