Answer:

Gold, silver and sodium.

Explanation:

Gold, silver and sodium are the name of the elements which does not match to their abbreviation. It is because those names are comes from other language. For example, the symbol of sodium is Na which comes from Natrium that is a Latin word. The symbol of gold is Au which comes from Aurum that is also a Latin word. The symbol of silver is Ag which comes from a Latin word i. e. Argentum.

Name the functional group in the following molecule:
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The functional group is called an amide. This is option C.

Explanation:

We see this is a three-carbon chain (a propyl chain), that ends with a double bond to oxygen and a single bond to an amine group (NH2). If the end carbon were only bound to the NH2 group and 2 hydrogen atoms, it would be an amine. If the end carbon only had a double bond to oxygen and a single bond to hydrogen, it would be an aldehyde. However, when a terminal carbon (a carbon at the end of a chain) has both a double bond to oxygen, and a single bond to an amine (NH2), it is called an amide.

We can also discount the answer thiol right away because those have a carbon-sulfur bond, and there is no sulfur in this molecule.

Experiment: Turn on Show electronegativity. Electronegativity (EN) describes how strongly an atom attracts a pair of shared elec
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we take two nonmetals with little or no electronegativity difference between them, the shared electrons are not attracted greatly towards any of the bonding atoms. In other words, the shared electrons remain equidistant between the nuclei of the two bonding atoms.

The bond is nonpolar since polarity is introduced into covalent bonds by a significant difference in electronegativity of the bonding atoms.

How do you name ionic compounds?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Consult the periodic table of elements

Explanation:

When naming ionic compounds, all of the information you’ll need is on the periodic table. Ionic compounds are formed of a metal (cation) and a non-metal (anion). You can find metals on the left and central sections of the periodic table (e.g., Barium, Radium, and Lead), while you can find non-metals on the right side of the table.[1]
