There are 118 elements in the periodic table. What is a likely estimate of the number of compounds formed by these elements?

Answer is: Far greater than 118 because elements combine in various ways.

Number of compounds is more than 30 millions.

A chemical compound is a substance composed of many identical molecules.

Element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a compound.

For example, emerald (beryl) is chemical compound (beryllium aluminium cyclosilicate) with the chemical formula Be₃Al₂(SiO₃)₆.  

Other example, molecule carbon(IV) oxide (CO₂) is made of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms bonded with covalent bonds.

Element is pure substance is made of only one type of atom (element) or only one type of molecule, it has definite and constant composition with distinct chemical properties.

The estimated number of compounds formed by the elements in the periodic table is far greater than 118 because elements can combine in various ways. Compounds are substance composed of more than one element held together by chemical bonds. Additionally, they can be converted to a different chemical composition by interaction with another compound via a chemical reaction.

Which ionic compound would you expect to have the highest melting point? a. Al-N b. Fe-O C. W-C
Elza [17]

Answer:

b. Fe-O

Explanation:

A way to predict melting points for ionic compounds is with electronegativity.

Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

The most electronegativity difference (E.D.), the highest melting point, thus:

E.D. Al-N = 3,0 - 1,6 = <em>1,4</em>

E.D. Fe-O = 3,5 - 1,8 = <em>1,7</em>

E.D. W-C = 2,5 - 1,7 = <em>0,8</em>

The most electronegativity difference is from Fe-O, thus, this ionic compound will have the highest melting point.

I hope it helps!

To make a saturated solution, 30 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 g of
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

30%

Explanation:

As the formula for finding concentration

= (mass of solute/mass of solution)×100

= (30/100)×100

= 0.3×100

= 30%

Match the element with its description. Match Term Definition Potassium A) Great conductor of heat and electricity Barium B) Mal
mezya [45]
<span>Barium - A) Great conductor of heat and electricity Potassium - B) Malleable and highly reactive Boron - C) Has properties of both metals and nonmetals Neon - D) Nonreactive gas Let's look at each element and it's place on the periodic chart to see what matches. Potassium - This is on the far left column for alkali metals. This means it's highly reactive and since it's a metal, it's both malleable and conductive. Looking at the available options, "B) Malleable and highly reactive" is the best choice. Barium - This element is in the second column from the left, so it's a fairly reactive metal, but not nearly as reactive as Potassium above. So "A) Great conductor of heat and electricity" is the best choice here, although I wouldn't call it "great". The resistivity of barium is about 20 times larger than copper. Boron - This element is about in the middle of the periodic chart, so it does have the properties of both metals and nonmetals. So "C) Has properties of both metals and nonmetals" is the best choice. Neon - This is in the far right column for noble gasses. Very non-reactive. So "D) Nonreactive gas" is the best choice.</span>
