Answer:

An element is more the “subject”; such as sodium, carbon, iron, etc are elements. An element can be a single gold atom or a whole chuck of pure gold (Au). An atom is the single distinguishing component which makes an element. For example a single carbon (name of the element) atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons

The graph below shows the volume and the mass of four different substances at STP.

sladkih [1.3K]

The formula of density is mass / volume

This means that
- high mass, low volume = high density
- high mass, high volume = so-so
- low mass, high volume = low density

From the graph shown,
D has the lowest density because it has low mass yet high volume.

Which of the following statements is false concerning the formula of a compound?

aalyn [17]

Answer:

B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

Explanation:

It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;

The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.

Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.

Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$

First Formula would be $ZnF_{2}$

Second empirical formula is between $Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)$

Second Formula would be $Zn_{2}O_{2}$

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so $Zn_{2}O_{2}$ would be written as $ZnO$

Third empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)$

Third Formula would be : $NiF_{4}$

Forth empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)$

Forth Formula would be : $Ni_{2}O_{4}$ or $NiO_{2}$

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as $NiO_{2}$ .

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : $ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}$
