Answer : The correct name for the compound, $P_2O_5$ is, Diphosphorous pentoxide.

Explanation :

$P_2O_5$ is a covalent compound because in this compound the sharing of electrons takes place between phosphorous and oxygen. Both the elements are non-metals. Hence, it will form covalent bond.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

The less electronegative element is written first.
The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.
If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

Hence, the correct name for the compound, $P_2O_5$ is, Diphosphorous pentoxide.

NARA [144]

Answer:

the atomic mass of an element is the average mass of an element naturally occurring atom, or isotopes, taking into account the percentage of each isotopes

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an element is obtained by obtaining the relative abundances (in percentages) of naturally occurring atoms and the masses of the isotopes. The atomic mass can also be defined as the sum of the protons and the neutrons in the nucleus of an element.

In the periodic table, the atomic mass is indicated below the symbol of each of the elements and is usually in the decimal form.

Bumek [7]

Answer:- $2AuClO_4(aq) + CaBr_2(aq)\rightarrow 2AuBr(s)+ Ca(ClO_4)_2(aq)$

Explanations:- It's a double replacement reaction where a precipitate of silver(I)bromide is formed. A dpuble replacement reaction in general looks as AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB

To balance the equation we need to multiply gold compounds on both sides by 2 and the balanced equation is..

$2AuClO_4(aq) + CaBr_2(aq)\rightarrow 2AuBr(s)+ Ca(ClO_4)_2(aq)$
