Answer:
C10H22
Explanation:
Molecular Solids comprises of a Vander waal's force of attraction between the molecule. These forces are very weak when compared to ionic and covalent bond.
In Carbon, Carbon is not a molecule but an atom. One of it unique characteristics is that it forms bonds with other carbon atoms. This property is know as catenation. The bond between these carbon atoms is know as covalent bond.
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. It exists as black , slippery, hexagonal crystals.The carbon atoms in graphite forms flat layers and are joined together by strong covalent bonds. Graphite can be used as lubricant in engines.
Gold (Au) is an element on the periodic table with atomic number 79 and a mass number 197. It exists as a metal. Most times Gold forms hydrogen bonds.
C10H22 is known as decane. It is the tenth compound formed in the series of alkane family( an organic unsaturated carbon chain family). Alkanes are aliphatic hydrocarbons. The forces of attraction between the alkane family are weak.In decane , their exists Vander waal's force which makes Decane C10H22 a Molecular Solid.
Mg gained mass because it went from being a single element (on the reactant side) to being a molecule (on the product side).
the poly atomic molecule is H2
Answer: OB
Explanation:
The empirical formula of an element is the simplest formula of an element which shows the ratios of atoms of the each element present in a molecule of a compound .
<span>An element is made of only one kind of atom, while a compound contains the atoms of two or more elements. For example, gold is made of only one kind of atom, so it is an element, but water is a mix of hydrogen and oxygen, so it is a compound.</span>
