there are 4 atoms in aluminum chloride
Answer:
Chemical symbol
This is used to identify an element without having to write the full name and as such is a designation for the element. It is used in chemical reactions and is usually either one or two letters. Some symbols are, Iron - Fe, Hydrogen - H and Oxygen - O.
Valency
This refers to the capacity of an element to combine with another to form a compound. It is measured by the number of electrons that an atom of an element gains, looses or shares when a chemical reaction involving it takes place.
Answer:
Grams of mercury= 0.06 g of Hg
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
A compact fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury. How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?
Explanation:
Since one fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury,
15 such bulbs will contain 15 * 4 mg of mercury = 60 mg
1 mg = 0.001 g
Therefore, 60 mg = 0.001 g * 60 = 0.06 g of mercury.
Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are tubes containing mercury and noble gases. When electricity is passed through the bulb, electron-streams flow from a tungsten-coated coil. They collide with mercury atoms, exciting their electrons and creating flashes of ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the tube absorbs this UV light flashes and re-emits it as visible light. The amount of mercury in a fluorescent lamp varies from 3 to 46 mg, depending on lamp size and age.
