You can differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular compounds by the fact that ionic compounds contain elements that include both a metal and a nonmetal. Molecular compounds contain both non metals covalently bonded to each other. While acids most often on their chemical formula start with the element of Hydrogen - H.
For Eg - sulphuric acid
H2SO4
hydrochloric acid - HCl.
Answer: The number of neutrons will increase as we move from left to right in a periodic table.
Explanation:
Atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Mass number is the sum of number of neutrons and number of protons.
As we move from left to right, both the atomic number and mass number increases.
For example: As we move from Lithium to berrylium to boron to carbon to nitrogen to oxygen to fluorine to neon , the number of neutrons increase from 4 to 5 to 6 to 6 to 7 to 8 to 10 to 10.
Thus the number of neutrons will also increase as we move from left to right in a periodic table.
diatomic hydrogen is written as H2 (2.02 grams H2) <------- if each hydrogen atom is 1.01 grams, then two hydrogen atoms are 2.02 grams 2.0 moles H2 X 2.02 grams H2 ------------- (divide to cancel moles) = 4.04 grams/mole H2 ÷ one mole = 4.04 grams H2
