What is state symbols

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

State symbols are used in chemical equations to delineate the state of matter in which the reaction is taking place.

They give a good perspective of the state of the reactants and products obtainable.

There are basically four states of matter in every chemical reaction:

  • Solids are symbolized by small letter (s)
  • Liquids are represented by (l)
  • Gases are shown by (g)
  • Aqueous solutions having water as the medium by (aq)

These symbols appear as subscript in front of the chemical species.

Do you notice a pattern in the charge for elements in each group? Explain.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Below are some patterns in the charge for elements in each group.

Group 1 elements : 1 valence electron and form ions with charge +1

Group 2 elements : 2 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 2

Group 3 elements : 3 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 3(there are some exceptions as well)

Elements in groups 4 and 5 are unpredictable also the D block elements consist of multiple oxidation states..

Group 6 elements : 6 valence electrons, form ions with charge -2

Group 7 elements: 7 valence electrons, form ions with charge -1  

The octet rule is being followed, the elements form either ionic bond or covalent bond to fulfill it.

eg: when a K atom forms a K+ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ar (argon).

When an O atom gains 2 electrons to form the O²⁻ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ne (neon).  

Note: Boron (B) is in Group 3 but doesn't form ions.

Carbon is important to the structure of macromolecules because it has a valence of 4. what does this mean?
gogolik [260]
The valence part is referring to the outer most ring of electrons.  Carbon only has four on the 'valence' or outer most ring helping it to form bonds with other things.  I hope this helps!! Good Luck!!! :)

A 78.0 g sample of an unknown compound contains 12.4 g of hydrogen. what is the percent by mass of hydrogen in the compound?
AleksandrR [38]
Formula to find the percent composition of an element in a compound is \frac {MolarMassOfElement}{MolarMassOfCompound}*100.

Now enter the variables into the formula.

\frac {12.4}{78.0}*100 = 15.897%
Round to 3 significant figures. 15.897% = 15.9%

The answer is 15.9% H
