Why is it not correct/precise to say "a molecule of salt?"

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
4 0

It is not correct to say " a molecule of salt " because salt is a compound.

Explanation:

  • As we know a molecular bond is present in each molecule.
  • Salt (NaCl) is considered as a compound because it is made up of two types of elements that are sodium as well as chlorine.
  • On the other hand it is not considered as a molecule as it is not holding an ionic bond.
  • As a result we can name it as an ionic compound. Hence it is not considered as a molecule of salt.

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration for iodine (i). express your answer in condensed form.
Dovator [93]
Iodine electron configuration is:

1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 5S^2 4d^10  5P^5
when Krypton is the noble gas in the row above iodine in the periodic table,
we can change 1S^2  2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 by the symbol
[Kr] of Krypton.

So we can write the electron configuration of Iodine:
[Kr] 5S^2 4d^10 5P^5

According to the VSEPR theory, which of the following factors determines the shape of a
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

B only

Explanation:

Using the VSEPR principle, the electron bond pairs and the lone pairs on the middle atom help us predict the structure of the molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the position of the nucleus and its electrons. The electrons and the nucleus settle in positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.

Why is water said to be universal solvent?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules.

Complete the following precipitation reactions with balanced molecular, total ionic, and net ionic equations:
Dmitry [639]

Molecular equation

Hg₂(NO₃)₂ (aq) + KI(aq) ⇒Hg₂I₂(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)

Total Ionic equation

Hg²⁺(aq) + 2NO³⁻(aq) + 2K⁺aq) ⇒Hg₂I₂(s) + 2K⁺(aq) + NO³⁻ (aq)

Net Ionic equation

Hg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq)  ⇒ Hg₂I₂(s)

<h3>What is the molecular equation?</h3>

Sometimes, a balanced equation is all that is used to refer to a chemical equation. Any ionic substances or acids are represented using their chemical formulas as neutral compounds in a molecular equation. Each substance's state is described in parenthesis after the formula. A complete ionic equation also contains the spectator ions, whereas a net ionic equation just displays the chemical species that are involved in a reaction.

The steps listed below can be used to determine the net ionic equation for a specific reaction:

Include the states of each chemical in the balanced molecular equation for the reaction.
