6. Why are ionic substances not known as molecules?

Chemistry

Elena L [17]4 years ago

Answer:

So, an ionic compound actually has two (or even more) different species in a single crystal or solution, which exist independently. The only reason why they are together is because of the total net charge, which must be zero.

Answer: ionic compounds are not known as molecules because they contain aggregate of positive and negative charges which arise from the transfer of electron from the metallic atom to the non-metallic atom. But in covalent substance, there is a sharing of electron pair between the atoms involved and this makes them to form a molecules

What conditions are important in determining if it will rain or snow?​
zhannawk [14.2K]

For snow to fall to the ground, the temperature must be cold both up in the clouds where snowflakes form, and down at ground level. If the air near ground level is too warm, the snow will melt on its way down, changing to rain or freezing rain. Moisture is needed to form clouds and precipitation.

Which of these solid compounds are most likely to have its dominant bonding mechanism as covalent? (Select all that are true.)
I am Lyosha [343]

The compounds that have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme are diamond and silica.

A covalent bond is formed between two nonmetals. Usually, when two nonmetals combine, electrons are shared between the two atoms involved in the bond.

Now, the solids diamond and silica are predominantly covalent solids. The atoms that combine in diamond are carbon atoms(nonmetals) while the atoms that combine in silica are silicon and oxygen (nonmetals also)

Hence, diamond and silica both have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme.

PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

  • Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

    => 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)  <= Standard Form of Rxn

  • Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

    => 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).
