Molecule is the general term used to describe any atoms that are connected by chemical bonds. Every combination of atoms is a molecule. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.
Well, if a molecule is considered to be a discrete small unit made up of atoms joined together, then NaCl, and any other ionic solid is not really a molecule. In NaCl we have a repetitive crystal structure in which each Na+ ion is surrounded by Cl- ions, and vice-versa, for as far as the crystal extends. There really isn't such a thing as an NaCl molecule.

How many moles are in 5.4x1024 molecules of C4H2F7I, heptafluoro-1-iodobutane? Group of answer choices
jasenka [17]

Given :

Number of molecules of C_4H_2F_7I.

To Find :

How many moles are in given number of molecules.

Solution :

We know, in 1 moles of any element/compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} at atoms/molecules.

So, number of moles in 5.4\times 10^{24} molecules are :

n = \dfrac{5.4\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\\n = 8.97 \ moles

Therefore, number of moles are 8.97 .

Write a rap about fossils please
givi [52]

Answer:

CHORUS 1:

Fossil rocks are in the ground tonight

They’ve been down there for a really long time

They contain the history of life

They’ve been down there for a really long time

Fossil rocks are in the ground tonight

They’ve been down there for a really long time (They’re the schist*)

They are literally on the grind

Take your hammer out and... break that

VERSE 1:

Look at the ground. Partly rock

Plus plants and animals stuck in their spot. Huh

Each new layer stackin’ up

So the oldest on the bottom and the newest on top

“So how old is your fossil, bro?”

Well it was pretty far down so it’s pretty darn old

And I dated this one, so I gots to know

It’s from 3.5 billion years ago

Yo. I got that lava flow, Volcano

Air full of particles & smoke

There goes life as they know

Now that’s a blast! But most rocks ain’t movin’ that fast

The sediment’s evidence. Like a present tellin’ us of the past

CHORUS 2:

Take your chisel out and… flake that

BREAK:

Everyday I’m Shovelin’…

Brushin’ ‘em, Brushin’ ‘em

VERSE 2:

Brush it off and hear the story of life as told through rock

The story of the earth as told through life. Now stop... do the trilobite

Continental plates (are driftin’)

Mountains in the states (upliftin’)

Tend to isolate (species)

By affecting who you mate with (believe me)

Slow moves. Long time. Push up mountains to the sky

Slow moves. Long time. Open up a great divide

Slow moves. Long time. Fossils found on either side

Fossils found they tell us why... tell the history of life....

Slow moves. Long time. Slow moves. Long time

Slow moves. Long time. Slow moves. Long time

Plates are driftin’ at ya boy. Plates are driftin’ at ya boy

Plates are driftin’ at ya boy. Now boom. There’s an asteroid

Answer:

Groups like the Halogens, which include Chlorine and Flourine, share similar properties both behaviorally and structurally. The Periodic Table is essentially a bunch of patterns and trends and the groups (like the one with Sodium and Potassium) were grouped together because of these similarities.
