Is sand macromolecule or network solid? Thank you

Chemistry

A macromolecule is a molecule with lots and lots of atoms. (i.e. protein, nucleic acid...)
A network solid is <span>is a chemical compound where the atoms are "bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous </span>network<span> extending throughout the material."
A single grain of sand consists of, on average, </span><span>~50,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.
That's A LOT.
However, these atoms do bond in network covalent bonds.
But that means it's a covalent network solid.
The short answer is that sand is both a </span><span>macromolecular substance as well as a covalent network solid, so I would go with it's macromolecular but you can interpret that the way you want.</span>

2C4H10 + 13O2 Right arrow. 8CO2 + 10H2O

What is the mole ratio of butane to carbon dioxide?

ANSWER:

Butane is an organic compound with the formula C4H10 and carbon dioxide is compound (gas) with the formula CO2. So, the balanced coefficient of butane is 2, and that of carbon dioxide is 8. According to thid, the mole ratio of butane to carbon dioxide is 2:8 or 1:4.

What is the number of electrons shared between the atoms in a I2 molecule
vova2212 [387]

The number of electrons shared between the atoms in a I₂ molecule is two (2).

Explanation:

An iodine atom has 53 electrons and its electron configuration is;

2. 8. 8. 18. 17

  1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁵

Note that the outermost p shell has 5 electrons while it can accommodate a maximum of 6 for stable electron configuration. Therefore an Iodine atom needs one (1) electron to acquire nobility. Two Iodine atoms will, therefore, share two electrons (each from one of their p sub-shell ) by covalent bonds to form I₂
