Answer:

C. CaCO₃  

Explanation:

One formula unit contains the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen. Start by writing the symbol of the elements:

CaCO

We indicate the number of atoms of each element by writing the number as a subscript following the symbol.

One formula unit contains one atom of Ca, one of C, and three of O, so the formula becomes

Ca₁C₁O₃

Finally, we do not write one as a subscript in a formula. If there is no subscript, we automatically assume that it is one. Thus, the correct formula is

CaCO₃

Polyatomic ions: CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-

Monatomic ions: Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

<h3>Monoatomic vs Polyatomic Ions</h3>

In chemistry, monoatomic ions are ions that consist of only a single type of atom. They are usually positive or negatively charged and are otherwise known as simple ions. Examples include  Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

Polyatomic ions, on the other hand, are ions that consist of more than one atom, unlike monoatomic ions. The two or more atoms are covalently bonded and the entire structure behaves like a single chemical entity in reactions. Polyatomic ions are otherwise known as molecular ions.

Examples of polyatomic ions are  CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-

Thus, from the diagram:

  • Polyatomic ions: CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-
  • Monatomic ions: Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

The carbon atoms in graphite and the carbon atoms in Diamond have different
Stolb23 [73]
It's the actual structure of diamond which made the two different. Diamonds have a tetrahedral structure, and as for graphite, it's not structured in that way. The structures of the two is also the reason why diamond is harder than graphite.

A 0.300 m solution of hcl is prepared by adding some 1.50 m hcl to a 500 ml volumetric flask and diluting to the mark with deion
liberstina [14]
In dilution we add distilled water to decrease the concentration of required sample from high concentration to lower concentration
The law used for dilution:
M₁V₁]Before dilution = M₂V₂] After dilution
M₁ = 1.5 M
V₁ = ?
M₂ = 0.3 M
V₂ = 500 ml
1.5 * V₁ = 0.3 * 500 ml
so V₁ = 100 ml and it completed to 500 ml using 400 ml deionized water
