Chemistry

Answer and Explanation:

A chemical formula is composed by chemical symbols (in letters, which indicate the chemical elements) and subscripts (numbers). For example, let see the chemical formula for <em>carbon dioxide</em>:

CO₂

The letters C and O are the chemical symbols for the elements carbon (C) and oxygen (O). The number 2 in subscript indicates that there are 2 atoms of O per molecule. The subscript 1 is generally not indicated in chemical formulae, so it is assumed that the number of atoms of C is 1.

Summarizing, the chemical formula CO₂ indicates us that the molecule if formed by 1 atom of the element carbon (C) and 2 atoms of the element oxygen (O).

Which statement explains why the bonds between nonmetals tend to be covalent? The bonds are found to be nondirectional. They hav
Alexandra [31]
Correct Answer: <span>They have small differences in electronegativity (statement 3)
Reason: 
The nature of chemical bond between atoms is primarily driven by the electronegativity  difference between constituent atoms. If electronegativity difference between constituent atoms is significantly higher, ionic bond formation is preferred. On other hand, low difference in electronegativity values, favours formation of covalent bond.

Calculate the mass percent of titanium in the mineral ilmenite, FeTiO3. What mass of ilmenite (in grams) is required if you wish
muminat
We are given the mineral ilmenite with a molecular formula of FeTiO3. The molar mass of the compound is equal to 151.72 g/mol. The percent titanium thus is 31.55 percent.when 750 grams of titanium is present, the mass of ilmenite is equal to 2377.18 grams

1. We have new knowledge of how charge can be transferred from one object to another
NeX [460]

Charge can be transferred from one object to another in three way conduction, polarization, and friction

Whenever electrons are transferred between objects, neutral matter becomes charged and three ways this can occur are referred to as conduction, polarization, and friction conduction means when there is direct contact between materials that differ in their ability to give up or accept electrons when two different materials are rubbed together, there is a transfer of electrons from one material to the other material and this causes one object to become positively charged (the electron loser) and the other object to become negatively charged (the electron gainer)

Here given object is water + balloon; balloon + wall; tape then you rub a balloon against your clothes and it sticks to the wall, you are adding a surplus of electrons (negative charges) to the surface of the balloon the wall is now more positively charged than the balloon and we tested the conductivity of deionized water positively charged
