The mass of substance which consists the equal number of particles as 12 grams of Carbon-12 is said to be mole.

For example:

The balanced chemical equation for production of water from hydrogen and oxygen is:

2H_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

That means 2 moles of H_2 reacts with 1 mole of O_2 to give 2 moles of  H_2O.

The given formula is 4Na_2SO_3.

Hence, 4 represents the number of moles in 4Na_2SO_3 formula that is 4 moles of Na_2SO_3.

The number of atoms of sodium, Na in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 2 = 8

The number of atoms of sulfur, S in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 1 = 4

The number of atoms of oxygen in, O in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 3 = 12

You would find four put in front of the compound in an equation.  This is to indicate that there are four times more moles in the reaction than there is in the specie that has no number in front of it in the reaction.

Metal cations are atoms that have a positive charge. What type of bond is a metal cation likely to form? A. covalent bond B. dou
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D. ionic bond

Explanation:

Due to electron deficiency in a metal cation, they cannot form a covalent bond beacuse it means to share electrons. By contrast metal cation seek for electrons. In an ionic bond, one atom give electrons, while another atom recevie electron. Because of that, this is the better option to metal cations.
