Answer:
A binary covalent compound is composed of two different elements (usually nonmetals). For example, a molecule of chlorine trifluoride, ClF3 contains 1 atom of chlorine and 3 atoms of fluorine.
Rule 1. The element with the lower group number is written first in the name; the element with the higher group number is written second in the name. Exception: when the compound contains oxygen and a halogen, the name of the halogen is the first word in the name.
Rule 2. If both elements are in the same group, the element with the higher period number is written first in the name.
Rule 3. The second element in the name is named as if it were an anion, i.e., by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., fluorine = F, "fluoride" = F-; sulfur = S, "sulfide" = S2-).
Rule 4. Greek prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the chemical formula for the compound. Exception: if the compound contains one atom of the element that is written first in the name, the prefix "mono-" is not used.
Explanation:
The formula of compound is LiClO4.3H2O
<em><u>calculation</u></em>
- <em><u> </u></em>find the mole of each element
that is moles for Li,Cl,O and that of H2O
- moles = % composition/ molar mass
For Li = 4.330/ 6.94 g/mol= 0.624 moles
Cl=22.10/35.5=0.623 moles
39.89/16 g/mol =2.493 moles
H20= 33.69/18 g/mol= 1.872 moles
- find the mole ratio by dividing each moles by smallest number of mole ( 0.624 moles)
that is for Li= 0.624/0.623= 1
Cl= 0.623/0.623=1
O = 2.493/0.623 =4
H2O= 1.872/0.623=3
<h3>Therefore the formula=LiClO4.3H2O</h3><h3 />
Answer:
the nucleus is the center of the atom, made up of protons and neutrons, without the nucleus you'd just have a bunch of electrons floating around; the nucleus is positively charged
protons are the positively charged particles that sit within the nucleus
neutrons are particles of no charge that sit within the nucleus, and because they have no charge, they do not cancel out the positive charge of the protons, making the nucleus positive
electrons are negatively charged particles that float around the nucleus in an area known as the electron cloud, they orbit around the nucleus because they are attracted to the positive charge of the nucleus (caused by the protons), with charges, opposites attract
