Name the following covalent compound:

Chemistry
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Pentasulfur nonanitride.

Explanation:

In order to name a compound properly, we need to identify the type of a compound we have. The given compound consists of two non-metals, sulfur and nitrogen. This implies that we have a covalent compound in contrast to an ionic compound which consists of a metal and a non-metal.

To name a molecular/covalent compound, we should use prefixes stating the number of atoms we have. In this case, we have 5 sulfur atoms. The prefix for 5 is 'penta'. That said, we have 'pentasulfur' as our beginning of the name.

We also have 9 nitrogen atoms. The second atom in the molecular formula would have an ending of '-ide', so we expect to have 'nitride'. Adding a prefix for 9, we'd have 'nonanitride'.

Putting everything together, the name is pentasulfur nonanitride.

Some common prefixes:

mono – one (we don't state mono for the first atom, e. g., we would name CO as carbon monoxide instead of monocarbon monoxide);

di – two;

tri – three;

tetra – four;

penta – five;

hexa – six;

hepta – seven;

octa – eight;

nona – nine;

deca – ten.

Notice that 'decanitride' would be correct in case you had 10 nitrogen atoms, similarly, tetra and hexa stand for 4 and 6 instead of 5 given sulfur atoms.

Explain how a cell is like your school or town. What is the nucleus of your town? The mitochondria?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The nucleus is like the mayor's office because it controls what happens in the cell. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell because it gives the rest of the cell energy to perform the tasks they need to do.

For the following, identify the most likely value for x.a. BHx b. CHx c. NHx d. CH2Clx
vekshin1

Given :

a. BH_x b. CH_x c. NH_x d. CH_2Cl_x .

To Find :

Find the most likely vale of x for each one .

Solution :

a . BH_x

Because boron have valency of 3 .

So , x = 3 .

b . CH_x

Valency of carbon is 4 .

x = 4 .

c . NH_x

Valency of nitrogen is 3 .

Therefore , x = 3 .

d . CH_2Cl_x

Now ,we know valency of carbon is 4 and hydrogen is 1 .

Also , two hydrogen are already there .

So , only 2 electrons left to share .

Since , chlorine have valency of 1 .

Therefore , only 2 electrons of chlorine can connect .

x = 2 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

What is the relationship between gas particles and pressure​
anygoal [31]

Answer:

For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Or Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant..

Explanation:

Hope it helps you..

Y-your welcome in advance..
