Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: a) Sodium and nitrogen b) Oxygen and strontium c)

elena-s [515]

Answer: a) Sodium and nitrogen : $NaN_3$ : sodium nitride.

b) Oxygen and strontium : $SrO$ : strontium oxide.

c) Aluminum and chlorine : $AlCl_3$ : aluminium chloride.

d) Cesium and bromine : $CsBr$ : cesium bromide.

Explanation:

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.

a) Sodium and nitrogen : Here sodium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $Na^{+}$ cation and nitrogen forms an anion $N^{3-}$ with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $NaN_3$ named as sodium nitride.

b) Oxygen and strontium : Here strontium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as $Sr^{+}$ cation and oxygen forms an anion $O^{2-}$ with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $SrO$ named as strontium oxide.

c) Aluminum and chlorine : Here aluminium is having an oxidation state of +3 called as $Al^{3+}$ cation and chlorine forms an anion $Cl^{-}$ with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $AlCl_3$ named as aluminium chloride.

d) Cesium and bromine : Here cesium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $Cs^{+}$ cation and bromine forms an anion $Br^{-}$ with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $CsBr$ named as cesium bromide.

victus00 [196]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

An atom of lead has a radius of 154 pm and the average orbitalspeed of the electron in it is about 1.8x $10^{8}$ m/s. Calculate the least possible uncertainty in a measurement of the speed of an electron in an atom of lead. Write your answer as a percentage of the average speed, and round it to significant 2 digits.
