Answer:

$Co_3(PO_4)_2$

Explanation:

Naming of the ionic compounds:-

The name of the cation is written first and the the name of the anion is written after the name of the cation separated by single space.
The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.

Hence, given ionic compound:-

Cobalt(II) phosphate

So, Cobalt will have a positive charge of +2

Phosphate is $PO_4^{3-}$

So, the formula is :-

Co $PO_4^{3-}$

2 3

$Co_3(PO_4)_2$

What is known about a reaction with a positive enthalpy?

MariettaO [177]

Answer: C

Explanation:

In endothermic reactions, enthalpy is positive, and in exothermic reactions, enthalpy is negative, So, if enthalpy is positive, then it is an endothermic reaction, and hence is required for the reaction to occur.

Which element would be the most conductive and

Masja [62]

Malleability described the property of physical deformation under some compressive stress; a malleable material could, for example, be hammered into thin sheets. Malleability is generally a property of metallic elements: The atoms of elemental metals in the solid state are held together by a sea of indistinguishable, delocalized electrons. This also partially accounts for the generally high electrical and thermal conductivity of metals.

In any case, only one of the elements listed here is a metal, and that’s copper. Moreover, the other elements (hydrogen, neon, and nitrogen) are gases under standard conditions, and so their malleability wouldn’t even be a sensible consideration.

Answer:

Compress
Fixed
Melts
Melting Point
Freezing Point
High
Crystalline
Lattice
Unit cell
Amorphous solids

Explanation:

Solids tend to be dense and difficult to compress.

They do not flow or take the shape of their containers, like liquids do, because the particles in solids vibrate around fixed points.

When a solid is heated until its particles vibrate so rapidly that they are no longer held in fixed positions, the solid melts.

Melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. The melting and freezing point of a substance are at the same temperature.

In general, ionic solids tend to have relatively high melting points, while molecular solids tend to have relatively low melting points.

Most solids are crystalline

The particles are arranged in a pattern known as a crystal lattice

The smallest subunit of a crystal lattice is the unit cell

Some solids lack an ordered internal structure and are called amorphous solids.
