How many moles of CH3 are in 60 grams of CH3 ?

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

For a: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and $Na_3N$

For b: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and $SrO$

For c: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and $AlCl_3$

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.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

For a: Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is $Na_3N$

For b: Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is $SrO$

For c: Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^1$

To form $Al^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is $AlCl_3$

1. Naturally occurring europium (Eu) consists of two isotopes was a mass of 151 and 153. Europium- 151 has an abundance of 48.03

sergejj [24]

The atomic mass of Europium is 152 amu

Work:
151(0.4803) = 72.52 amu
153(0.5197) = 79.5 amu
72.5 + 79.5 = 152 amu

How fast is the speed of light?

Tpy6a [65]

The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum.
It's somewhat slower in any material substance, and different in
each substance.

(That's 186,282.4 miles per second.)
