Answer:

Explanation:

The answer is that "elements are a single atom and compounds are a mixture of two elements or more." Elements are atoms that have protons, neutrons, and electrons. Compounds are mixtures with two or more elements.

Hope this helps.

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with
grandymaker [24]

\text{Hg} \text{O} and \text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})
  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})

First compound:

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g

n = m/M; 0.6498 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a 1:1 ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be \text{Hg} \text{O} where the subscript "1" is omitted.

Similarly, for the second compound

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.016 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.4172 - 0.016 = 0.4012  \; g

n = m/M; 0.4172 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.016 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.001 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.4012 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.002 \; mol

n(\text{Hg}) : n(\text{O}) \approx  2:1 and therefore the empirical formula

\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.

Difference between hygroscopic and deliquescent substance with of each​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The water soluble substance which absorb moisture from the air and then dissolve on the absorbed moisture to change into liquid taste are called deliquescent substances whereas the substances which absorb moisture from air but do not change their state are called hygroscopic substances.

Benzene exists as a resonance hybrid and its bonds exhibit characteristics that are halfway between single and double bonds. Res
gregori [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can only talk about resonance hybrid for a compound in which more than one structure is possible based on its observed chemical properties.

There are compounds whose chemical properties can not be satisfactorily explained on the basis of a single chemical structure. In the case of such compounds, we invoke the idea of resonance.

A resonance hybrid is a single structure drawn to represent a given chemical specie which exhibits resonance behaviour and can otherwise be represented on paper in the form of an average of two or more chemical structures separated each from the next by a double-headed arrow.
