Chemistry
1 answer:
yawa3891 [41]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

CaF2

Explanation:

Calcium fluoride is a solid formed by the chemical combination of Calcium (Ca) and Fluorine (F). Two molecules of fluorine (F2) and one molecule of Calcium (Ca) are needed to form the Calcium Fluoride molecule.

An ionic bond is formed between the Calcium and Fluorine atoms i.e. electrons are transferred from calcium atoms to fluorine atoms. The calcium ion is a cation with formula; Ca2+ while fluorine is an anion with formula; F-. Hence, it takes two molecules of Fluorine ion (F-) to form a relatively stable and neutral molecule with 1 molecule of Calcium ion (Ca2+).

What type of bond holds more than one molecule together?
scoundrel [369]
The bonds that hold atoms together to form molecules are called covalent bonds. They are pretty tough and not easily made or broken apart. It takes energy to make the bonds and energy is released when the bonds are broken. Trees take light and use it to make bonds between carbon atoms and molecules of cellulose. I hope this helps:)

How many sites on this antibody molecule have potential to bind to a non-self molecule?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
There are two sites on the antibody molecule that have a potential to bind to a non-self molecule. The Fab of an antibody is the region of the antibody that binds to an antigen. It consist of one constant and one variable domain from each heavy and light chain of the antibody. During immune reaction, an antigen-antibody reaction occurs between the antibodies made by the B cells and the antigens.

A compound contains 64.27% carbon, 7.19% hydrogen, and 28.54% oxygen. the molar mass is 168.19 g/mol. what is the molecular form
coldgirl [10]
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound 
calculating for 100 g of compound 
                                             C                             H                             O
mass                                  64.27 g                   7.19 g                     28.54 g
number of moles        64.27 g / 12 g/mol      7.19 g/1 g/mol     28.54 g / 16 g/mol 
                                        = 5.356 mol           = 7.19 mol           = 1.784 mol 
divide by least number of moles  
                                     5.356 / 1.784            7.19 / 1.784         1.784 / 1.784
                                      = 3.002                     4.03                     = 1.000
rounded off to nearest whole number 
 C - 3
 H - 4
 O - 1
empirical formula - C₃H₄O
 
 mass of empirical formula = 12 g/mol  x 3 + 1 g/mol x 4 + 16 g/mol x 1 = 56 g
molecular mass = 168.19 g/mol 
molecular formula is the actual ratio of elements making up the compound 
number of empirical units = molar mass of molecule / empirical mass
      empirical units = 168.19 g/mol  / 56 g = 3.00
there are 3 empirical units making up the molecular formula 
molecular formula = 3 x C₃H₄O

molecular formula = C₉H₁₂O₃
