What do the subscripts mean in a molecular formula ?​

Chemistry

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.

If a molecule can hydrogen bond does it guarantee that it will have a higher boiling point than a molecule that cannot?
sleet_krkn [62]
A molecule that can h-bond will not always necessarily and does not have guarantee to have a higher boiling point than one than cannot have h-bond.
we can take an example of Pentan-2-one that cannot h-bond but instead of this it  has a high boiling point that is 102.3 °C, while propan-1-ol can h-bond but it has a boiling point of 97.2°C, that is lower than the boiling point of Pentan-2-one.

Metallic bonding occurs between atoms of
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Metallic bonding occurs when you have a metal in the solid or liquid state. The s and p valence electrons of metals are loosely held. They leave their “own” metal atoms. This forms a "sea" of electrons that surrounds the metal cations.

What is an expression of Boyle's law (k = constant)?
Leni [432]

Answer:

C.) PV = k

Explanation:

Boyle's Law is a variation of the Ideal Gas Law when all variables, except for pressure and volume, are held constant.

Pressure is represented by "P" and volume is represented by "V". In the Ideal Gas Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional (if one goes up, the other goes down). That being said, the equation which best represents Boyle's Law is PV = k.
