You can differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular compounds by the fact that ionic compounds contain elements that include both a metal and a nonmetal. Molecular compounds contain both non metals covalently bonded to each other. While acids most often on their chemical formula start with the element of Hydrogen - H.
For Eg - sulphuric acid
H2SO4
hydrochloric acid - HCl.
Answer:
The correct answer is 4
Explanation:
Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has a molecular geometry (as shown in the image in the question) referred to as trigonal planar; this is because each of the the fluorine atoms/molecules (bonded to the central boron atom) is placed in such a way that they form the three "end points"/"domains" of an equilateral triangle. Hence, the correct option is the last option.
Balanced equation : C. CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒ CCl₄+ 4HCl
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.
2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product
3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
Reaction
CH₄ + Cl₂⇒ CCl₄+ HCl
aCH₄ + bCl₂⇒ CCl₄+ cHCl
C, left=a, right=1⇒a=1
H, left=4a, right=c⇒4a=c⇒4.1=c⇒c=4
Cl, left=2b, right=4+c⇒2b=4+c⇒2b=4+4⇒2b=8⇒b=4
The equation becomes :
CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒ CCl₄+ 4HCl
