Answer:

The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen. Examples of compounds include water (H2O) and salt (Sodium Chloride - NaCl)

Explanation:

Further Differences:

Defintion:

Compound - A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio.

Element - An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom.

Representation:

Compound - A compound is represented using its chemical formula that represents the symbols of its constituent elements and the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of the compound.

Element - An element is represented using symbols.

Composition:

Compound - Compounds contain different elements in a fixed ratio arranged in a defined manner through chemical bonds. They contain only one type of molecule. Elements that compose the compound are chemically combined.

Element - Elements contain only one type of atom. Each atom has the same atomic number i.e., the same number of protons in their nucleus.

How many moles of carbonate are there in sodium carbonate​
vaieri [72.5K]

There are 0.566 moles of carbonate in sodium carbonate.

<h3>CALCULATE MOLES:</h3>
  • The number of moles of carbonate (CO3) in sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) can be calculated by dividing the mass of carbonate in the compound by the molar mass of the compound.

  • no. of moles of CO3 = mass of CO3 ÷ molar mass of Na2CO3

  • Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 23(2) + 12 + 16(3)

  • = 46 + 12 + 48 = 106g/mol

  • mass of CO3 = 12 + 48 = 60g

  • no. of moles of CO3 = 60/106

  • no. of moles of CO3 = 0.566mol

  • Therefore, there are 0.566 moles of carbonate in sodium carbonate.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Question 5 options: The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same
amm1812

Answer:

All of the above are true

Explanation:

a) The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same and can be used to identify the element: It's true since the emission spectrum for each element is unique. It has the same bright lines at the same wavelength. This feature is used to identify elements. For example, the study of the emission spectra of light arriving from stars allow us to identify the elements presents in the star because the light contains the emission spectra of those elements.

b)The uncertainty principle states that we can never know both the exact location and speed of an electron:  It is true since the velocity of an electron is related to its wave nature, while its position is related to its particle nature and we cannot simultaneously measure electron's position and velocity with precision.

c) An orbital is the volume in which we are most likely to find an electron: An orbital is a probability distribution map that is used to decribe the likely position of an electron in an atom.

How many bonding and non-bonding electron pairs are found in the BF3 molecule?​
Contact [7]

Answer:

MARK AS BRAINLIEST

Explanation:

Boron trifluoride only has six valence electrons and is one of the relatively rare second period covalent molecules that disobeys the octet rule. There are three bonded groups and so no lone pairs. Six electrons implies three electron pairs and therefore a trigonal geometry.

The chemical formula for the ionic compound aluminum sulfite is Al2(SO3)3. Explain why there are 2 cations for every 3 anions in
svp [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

While trying to write the chemical formula for a compound (a neutral molecule), one must identify and exchange the charge of the cation with that of the anion to become the subscript of one other. For example

Aluminium oxide has Aluminium (Al) and oxygen (O); since Al has a charge of 3+ (the cation) and O has a charge of 2- (the anion), the compound would have it's charges as Al³⁺O²⁻ and when the charges are exchanged to there subscripts, it would form Al₂O₃; thus there would be two cations of aluminium for every three anions of oxygen in order to have a neutral molecule.

This same explanation can be given to Aluminium sulfite. Aluminium sulfite has Aluminium (Al) and sulfite (SO₃). Al has a charge of 3+ (cation) while sulfite has a charge of 2- (anion), with the compound having it's charges as Al³⁺(SO₃)²⁻ and when the charges are exchanged to there subscripts, it would form Al₂(SO₃)₃ and would thus have 2 cations of aluminium (Al³⁺) for every 3 anions of sulfite (SO₃³⁻) in order to have a neutral molecule.
