Which of the following statements is false concerning the formula of a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago
3 0

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.

The nature particle model of matter describe the property of solid, liquid and gas in molecular level. Which of the given statem
dangina [55]

Answer:

B. Particles of matter have spaces between them.

Explanation:

The particle nature model of matter is an model used to explain the properties and nature of matter. The statements of the particle nature model of matter are as follows :

1. Matter is made of small particles of atoms or molecules.

2. The particles of matter have space between them. The spaces between the particles are least in solids as they are closely packed together but are greatest in gases whose particles are far apart from each other.

3. The particles of matter are in constant motion at all times. Solids particles are not free to move due to strong molecular forces between the particles, but are constantly vibrating in their mean positions. Liquid particles free to move due to lesser molecular forces while gas molecules which have negligible intermolecular forces have the greatest ability to move.

4. The particles of matter are attracted to each other by intermolecular forces. These forces are greatest in solids and least in gases.

The correct option is B.

In naming the compound PCl5, the prefix used with the second element is ____________________.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Hepta}}

Explanation:

We are given the formula:

PCl_5

This is a molecular formula, because it contains nonmetals.

1. Name the first element

The first element is phosphorous (P). Since this is the first element and there is only one, we don't need a prefix.

  • Phosphorous

2. Second element

The second element is chlorine (Cl). It has a subscript of 5, so we must add the prefix of <u>hepta</u>-.

  • Phosphorous heptachlorine

Add the ending of -ide.

  • Phosphorous heptachloride

The prefix used for the second element is hepta. The compound name is phosphorous heptachloride.

What is the volume of a sample if the density is 2.35 g/mL and the mass is 33.67 g?
lawyer [7]
  • Density=2.35g/mL
  • Mass=33.67g

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=\dfrac{Mass}{Density}

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=\dfrac{33.67}{2.35}

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=14.32mL
