Why can't we change the subscripts in balancing chemical equations?

Chemistry

Nikitich [7]4 years ago

Because the subscripts are what identify the compound. Changing the coefficient is okay, since you are only changing the number of whole compounds. If you change the subscript, however, you will change the compound into a completely different one. Hope that helps!!

The electronegativity values of fluorine, oxygen, and hydrogen are compared in the table. Comparison of Electronegativity Elemen
Dvinal [7]

The hydrogen bonding in H₂O is stronger than that of HF

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are special dipole-dipole attraction in which electrostatic attraction is established between hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of a neighboring molecule.

  • The strength of hydrogen bonds depends on the how electronegative an atom is.
  • Electronegativity refers to the tendency of an atom to gain electrons.
  • The higher the value, the higher the tendency.
  • This why oxygen with a higher electronegativity will form a stronger hydrogen bond with hydrogen compared to fluorine.

What is the conclusive evidence that mixing sugar in the water is a physical change
djyliett [7]
THE DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL CHANGE: Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds, but can not usually be used to separate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds. so the answer is that the form of the sugar is changing in water but if you boiled the water till its all evaporated all that will be left is the sugar
