Answer:

B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical  formula.

Explanation:

It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;

  • The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
  • The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.

Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.

Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.

When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes. 

1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).

svp [43]

Answer:

B. A chemical change occurred which caused the liquid's physical properties to change.

Explanation:

The reduction of the temperature of the system meant that the reaction absorbed heat energy from it. This shows that a chemical reaction was in progress. New products were formed, and this is proved by the change in the color to blue.
