Copper and silver are two examples of atoms that will form a(n) _____.

____ [38]

<span>The answer is A. Copper and silver are two examples of atoms that will form a metallic bond. Pure metals in solid state form nets similar to crystals, but they are not ionic. The electrons of the valence shell are shared by all the atoms. The electrons can move freely in what is called a "sea of electrons" which is what confere metals the property of conducting electricity.</span>

What is the name of the molecular compound SF 5? sulfur pentafluoride sulfur hexafluoride sulfur heptafluoride monosulfur tetraf

romanna [79]

Answer: sulfur pentafluoride

Explanation:

The rules for naming of binary molecular compound :

In the given formula, the lower group number element is written first in the name and keep its element name and the higher group number is written second.

First element i.e. sulphur in the formula is named first and keep its element name.

1) Gets a prefix if there is a subscript on it such as mono for 1, di for 2, tri for 3 and so on.

Second element i.e. fluorine is named second.

1) Use the root of the element name, if it is an anion then use suffix (-ide).

2) Always use a prefix on the second element such as mono for 1, di for 2, tri for 3 and so on.

Therefore, the chemical name of compound $SF_5$ is sulfur pentafluoride
