Is anyone good at chemistry if so can someone help me please ? (NO LINKS)
1 answer:
This requires familiarity with the different theories (or concepts) of acids and bases.
On the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that produces an H⁺ ion in water such that the H⁺ concentration increases, and a base is a substance that produces an OH⁻ ion in water such that the OH⁻ concentration increases.
On the Brønsted–Lowry concept, an acid is a substance that donates a proton (which is basically an H⁺ ion) in a solvent, and a base is a substance that accepts a proton in a solvent.
On the Lewis concept, an acid is a substance that accepts an electron pair in a solvent, and a base is a substance that donates an electron pair in a solvent.
The concepts become progressively broader, i.e., the Arrhenius concept is the most restrictive and the Lewis concept is the least restrictive. As a corollary, an Arrhenius acid or base is also both a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base and a Lewis acid or base, respectively; a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base is not necessarily an Arrhenius acid or base, but an Arrhenius acid or base is also a Lewis acid or base, respectively. And finally, a Lewis acid or base may not necessarily be either an Arrhenius or a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base.
So, with the above concepts in mind, we can match the statements in column A with the type of acid or base in column B:

Answer:
Pentacarbon heptasilicide.
Explanation:
In order to name the following compound, we need to identify whether it is molecular or ionic.
Molecular compounds consist of non-metal atoms, while ionic compounds would have metal cations in their composition.
In the given compound, , we have two non-metals, carbon and silicon, meaning we should follow the molecular compound naming rules. The rules involve using prefixes to state the number of individual atoms.
The two prefixes required here are 'penta' for 'five' to indicate 5 carbon atoms present and 'hepta' for 'seven' to indicate 7 silicon atoms present.
The first part of the name would be pentacarbon (notice that the standard name for the first element is used). The second part would be heptasilicide (notice that the second atom would have an ending of -ide followed by the standard beginning of silicon).
