Answer:

2. X₂O

Explanation:

Elements in group 1A are known as alkali metal. Examples include lithium, sodium, and potassium among others.
These elements have one valence electron in the outermost energy level and therefore form cations with a charge of +1.
They have a valency of 2.
Oxygen, on the other hand,has a valency of 2.
Therefore, a chemical formula of a compound formed when an element in group 1A say X reacts with oxygen will be X₂O.
To write the formula, we identify the symbol of the elements and their valence.
Then the atoms of the two elements exchange their valencies which are written as a subscript on each symbol of an element.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

A potassium atom (atomic number 19) and a bromine atom (atomic number 35) can form a chemical bond through a transfer of one electron. The potassium ion that forms has 18 electrons. What best describes the bromide ion that forms? It is a negative ion that has one more valence electron than a neutral bromine atom.

Suppose 'A' is a liquid aromatic compound with molecular weight 78 and burns with sooty flame. a.Give the name of the compound '

Oliga [24]

Aromatic compounds are compounds that contain carbon-carbon multiple bonds.

The question did not mention that a heteroatom is present in the compound so we can assume that there is none of such. In that case, the compound contains only hydrogen and carbon.

So,

(CH)n = 78

where n is the number of each atom present.

(12 +1)n = 78

n = 78/13

n = 6

The molecular formula of the compound is C6H6

When C6H6 is treated with .conc.HNO3/conc.H2SO4 the compound shown in image 1 is formed. The reaction occurs at the C-C multiple bond.

When C6H6 is reacted with chlorine in the presence of sunlight, hexachlorobenzene (shown in image 2 attached) is formed.
