A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of <u>atoms</u> in the smallest representative unit of a substance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In chemistry, a  formula unit is the empirical formula of "ionic or covalent network solid compound" that is used as an independent entity for "stoichiometric calculations". This formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols.

The unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. It gives the numbers of atoms representing the "smallest representative" unit of a substance. The number of atoms also tells us about the chemical and physical properties of the compound formed.

What does the term landslide include?
Leno4ka [110]
A landslide is defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope. Landslides are a type of "mass wasting," which denotes any down-slope movement of soil and rock under the direct influence of gravity.Earthquake shaking and other factors can also induce landslides underwater.

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre electrones internos y electrones externos? *
Fudgin [204]

Answer & Explanation:

Los electrones externos se encuentran más lejos del núcleo. El número de electrones en la capa más externa (electrones de valencia) de un átomo en particular determina su reactividad (tendencia) a formar enlaces químicos con otros átomos.

Los electrones internos son los más cercanos al núcleo. Protegen los electrones de valencia del núcleo, reduciendo la carga nuclear efectiva.

Determine the freezing point of an aqueous solution containing 10.50 g of magnesium bromide in 200.0 g of water.
Rudiy27
For an aqueous solution of MgBr2, a freezing point depression occurs due to the rules of colligative properties. Since MgBr2 is an ionic compound, it acts a strong electrolyte; thus, dissociating completely in an aqueous solution. For the equation:

                                ΔTf<span> = (K</span>f)(<span>m)(i)
</span>where: 
ΔTf = change in freezing point = (Ti - Tf)
Ti = freezing point of pure water = 0 celsius
Tf = freezing point of water with solute = ?
Kf = freezing point depression constant = 1.86 celsius-kg/mole (for water)
m = molality of solution (mol solute/kg solvent) = ?
i = ions in solution = 3

Computing for molality:
Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol

m = 10.5g MgBr2 / 184.113/ 0.2 kg water = 0.285 mol/kg


For the problem, 
ΔTf = (Kf)(m)(i) = 1.86(0.285)(3) = 1.59 = Ti - Tf = 0 - Tf

Tf = -1.59 celsius

Which is the correct complete ionic equation for the reaction of
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

b) 2H+(aq) + 2C1-(aq) + Zn(s) → H2(g) + Zn2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

2HCl(aq) + Zn(s) + H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq)

In writing an ionic equation, only the aqueous compounds dissociates into ions. This means HCl and ZnCl2 would dissociate to form ions.

This is given as;

2H+  +  2Cl-  + Zn(s) --> H2(g) + Zn2+  + 2Cl-

The correct option is;

b) 2H+(aq) + 2C1-(aq) + Zn(s) → H2(g) + Zn2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
