A neutral atom is one that has no net charge. In other words, the number of positive charges cancels out with the number of negative charges, so the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Uranium has 92 protons, which means it has a total positive charge of +92. To have a neutral charge, the atom MUST have 92 electrons, as that is a negative charge of -92, and the net charge is ultimately (protons + electrons) = ([+92] + [-92]) = 0.

What are the prefixes for molecular compounds?
fredd [130]

Answer:

In nomenclature of simple molecular compounds, the more electropositive atom is written first and the more electronegative element is written last with an -ide suffix.

The Greek prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in a molecular compound.

Prefixes can be shortened when the ending vowel of the prefix “conflicts” with a starting vowel in the compound.

Common exceptions exist for naming molecular compounds, where trivial or common names are used instead of systematic names, such as ammonia (NH3) instead of nitrogen trihydride or water (H2O) instead of dihydrogen monooxide.

Terms

nomenclatureA set of rules used for forming the names or terms in a particular field of arts or sciences.

electronegativeTending to attract electrons within a chemical bond.

electropositiveTending to not attract electrons (repel) within a chemical bond.

Chemical Nomenclature

The primary function of chemical nomenclature is to ensure that a spoken or written chemical name leaves no ambiguity concerning to what chemical compound the name refers. Each chemical name should refer to a single substance. Today, scientists often refer to chemicals by their common names: for example, water is not often called dihydrogen oxide. However, it is important to be able to recognize and name all chemicals in a standardized way. The most widely accepted format for nomenclature has been established by IUPAC.

Molecular compounds are made when two or more elements share electrons in a covalent bond to connect the elements. Typically, non-metals tend to share electrons, make covalent bonds, and thus, form molecular compounds.

Rules for Naming Molecular Compounds:

Remove the ending of the second element, and add “ide” just like in ionic compounds.

When naming molecular compounds prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in the compound. ” mono-” indicates one, “di-” indicates two, “tri-” is three, “tetra-” is four, “penta-” is five, and “hexa-” is six, “hepta-” is seven, “octo-” is eight, “nona-” is nine, and “deca” is ten.

If there is only one of the first element, you can drop the prefix. For example, CO is carbon monoxide, not monocarbon monoxide.

If there are two vowels in a row that sound the same once the prefix is added (they “conflict”), the extra vowel on the end of the prefix is removed. For example, one oxygen would be monooxide, but instead it’s monoxide. The extra o is dropped.

Generally, the more electropositive atom is written first, followed by the more electronegative atom with an appropriate suffix. For example, H2O (water) can be called dihydrogen monoxide (though it’s not usually). Organic molecules (molecules made of C and H along with other elements) do not follow this rule.

Can someone show their work on how to do this: Calculate the number of moles of Al2O3 present in 23.87g. (Molar mass of Al2O3= 1
vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.234 moles

Explanation:

moles of Al2O3 = mass / molar mass

moles of Al2O3 = 23.87g / 102.0g/mol

moles of Al2O3 = 0.234 moles (to three significant figures)

Room temperature is approximately 20°C for scientific purposes. A hot pan on a stove can reach temperatures up to about 260°C. G

The melting points of sugar and salt are above 20°C.

<h3>What is melting point?</h3>

The melting points of substances refer to the temperature at which solid substances gain enough energy to become liquids.

The room temperature is approximately 20°C. At this temperature, sugar and salt are solids. This means that the melting temperature of both substances is above 20°C.

More specifically, sugar will melt around 180 °C while salt will melt at a temperature slightly above 800 °C.

The atmosphere is about 21% oxygen. At a pressure of 749 torr, what is the partial pressure of O2?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

157.29 Torr

Explanation:

This question may be solved by the mole fraction.

Mole fraction → Moles of gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of gas / Total pressure

If the atmosphere is about 21% you assume that the mole fraction is 0.21 so:

0.21 = Partial pressure of gas / Total pressure

0.21 = Partial pressure of gas / 749 Torr

Partial pressure of the gas = 749 Torr . 0.21 →  157.29 Torr
