Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;

lisov135 [29]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and $Na_3N$

<u>For b:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and $SrO$

<u>For c:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and $AlCl_3$

<u>Explanation:</u>

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

<u>For a:</u> Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is $Na_3N$

<u>For b:</u> Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is $SrO$

<u>For c:</u> Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^1$

To form $Al^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is $AlCl_3$

nswer the following questions relating to HCl, CH3Cl, and CH3Br.HCl(g), can be prepared by the reaction of concentrated H2SO4(ag

alexdok [17]

Answer:

It is an example of double displacement reaction.

4.8 g of NaCl is needed to react.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: $H_{2}SO_{4}(aq.)+2NaCl(s)\rightarrow 2HCl(g)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq.)$

Here, oxidation states of H, S, O, Na and Cl do not change during reaction. Hence it is not a redox reaction.

In this reaction, cations and anions of the reactants interchange their partners during reaction. Hence, it is an example of double displacement reaction.

As $H_{2}SO_{4}(aq.)$ remain in excess amount therefore NaCl (s) is the limiting reagent. Hence production of HCl entirely depends on amount of NaCl used.

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

So, 3.0 g of HCl = $\frac{3.0}{36.46}$ mol of HCl = 0.082 mol of HCl

According to balanced equation-

2 moles of HCl are produced from 2 moles of NaCl

So, 0.082 moles of HCl are produced from 0.082 moles of NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

So, mass of 0.082 moles of NaCl = $(0.082\times 58.44)$ g = 4.8 g

Hence 4.8 g of NaCl is needed to react.

Ions are formed when atoms a) gain or lose protonsb) gain or lose electronsc) gain or lose neutrons d) each of these results in

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

b) Gain or lose electrons

Explanation:

An ion is an electrically charged particle. For an atom to be charged, it must have gained or lost electron in the process and therefore, it becomes an ion.

The loss or gain of electrons is what makes an atom charged and eventually becomes an ion.

A positively charged ion is one that has lost an electron and it is called a cation. In such an ion, the number of electrons are lesser than those of protons. This is why they are cations

A negatively charged ion is one that has gained electrons. They are called anions. In such an ion, the number of electrons are greater than that of protons.

Which three groups of the periodic table contain the most elements classified as metalloids (semimetals)?

attashe74 [19]

The metalloids are mostly concentrated in groups 14, 15, and 16. (Some simpler charts will show them as 4A, 5A, and 6A - take a look at the top of the periodic table your class uses to double-check).

If you like my answer, please vote me a 'brainliest' - trying to improve my rank :-)
