Compound are formed by two or more elements chemically combined. For example: H^2O is the water formula, this is a compound because you two elements which are Hydrogen and Oxygen and together they form a compound. The (^2) is the amount of atoms the formula has, in this case Hydrogen has two atoms and Oxygen is neutral.
I know the answer to your question but if you want me to answer this question first, I need your help with my question "How do I solve number 12? Quick please I need help ASAP!!!"
The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.
- <u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are 19.3 × 10^23 molecules.</em></u>
Explanation:
Given:
mass of calcium phosphate (
) = 125.3 grams
We know;
molar mass of calcium phosphate ( ) = (40×3) + 3 (31 +(4×16))
molar mass of calcium phosphate ( ) = 120 + 3(95)
molar mass of calcium phosphate ( ) = 120 +285 = 405 grams
<em>We also know;</em>
No of molecules at STP conditions(
) = 6.023 × 10^23 molecules
To solve:
no of molecules present in the sample(N)
We know;
N÷
=
N =(405×6.023 × 10^23) ÷ 125.3
N = 19.3 × 10^23 molecules
<u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are 19.3 × 10^23 molecules</em></u>
Answer:
Yes. Example: <u>Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) molecule</u>
Explanation:
According to the octet rule, elements tend to form chemical bonds in order to have <u>8 electrons in their valence shell</u> and gain the stable s²p⁶ electronic configuration.
However, this rule is generally followed by main group elements only.
Exception: <u>SF₆ molecule</u>
In this molecule, six fluorine atoms are attached to the central sulfur atom by single covalent bonds.
<u>Each fluorine atom has 8 electrons in their valence shells</u>. Thus, it <u>follows the octet rule.</u>
Whereas, there are <u>12 electrons around the central sulfur atom</u> in the SF₆ molecule. Therefore, <u>sulfur does not follow the octet rule.</u>
<u>Therefore, the SF₆ molecule is known as a </u><u>hypervalent molecule</u><u> or expanded-valence molecule.</u>
I believe that the answer is 11.5
