What do the subscripts mean in a molecular formula ?​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Subscripts. We use subscripts in chemical formulae to indicate the number of atoms of an element present in a molecule or formula unit.

Answer:

A molecular formula tells us what atoms and how many of each type of atom are present in a molecule.

Explanation:

If only one atom of a specific type is present, no subscript is used.

For atoms that have two or more present, a subscript is written after the symbol for that atom.

Molecular formulas do not indicate how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.

What factors does the climate include?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A. amount of precipitation, average temperature

Explanation:

Precipitation and average temperature are factors that climate includes. These factors are determined by other factors such as location of an area(like how far a place is from large bodies of water like the sea), ocean currents, lattitude (distance from the equator), winds (prevailing winds) , topography (such as mountains) and the like.

Which of the following statements concerning equilibrium constants is true? The equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is
Brut [27]

Answer:

When the coefficients in a balanced chemical reaction are multiplied by two, the equilibrium constant is not affected.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is known to remain steady.

Even if all the coefficients of all the species in the reaction are multiplied by two, the value of the equilibrium constant will reamin the same because the equilibrium position will not change as a result of that.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? (A) An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.(B) Once dissolved in wat
Ainat [17]

Answer:

A)  An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.

Explanation:

D) Ionic compounds have high melting points causing them to be solid at room temperature, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Covalent compounds have low melting points and many are liquids or gases at room temperature.

C) An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.

A) Covalent bonds are stronger if you compare with ionic molecules, because their molecular orbital overlap is bigger. However, ionic molecules form lattices, thus the energy to break this lattice bond is stronger hence the ionic bond is stronger.
