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.

Which of the following pairs of elements could possibly be in the same group? X has a 1+ ion; Y has a 1- ion. X tends to form a
exis [7]
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.

Carbon has two naturally occurring isotopes: C-12 (natural abundance is 98.93%) and C-13 (natural abundance is 1.07%). How many
Sav [38]
The number of atoms present, on average, will be the natural abundance of the isotope times the number of atoms in the sample => number of C-13 atoms = C-13 abundance * number of atoms in the sample = 1.07% * 30,000 = 1.07 * 30,000 / 100 = 321 atoms.<span> Answer: 321 atoms.</span>

Answer:

A  by 0,5 cubic centimeters

Explanation:

If you use the density equation:

d=\frac{mass}{volume}→v=\frac{m}{d}

For A:

v=\frac{9[g]}{10g/cm^3} =0,9[cm^3]

For B:

v=\frac{4[g]}{10g/cm^3} =0,4[cm^3]

Doing the difference A-B=0,5 cubic centimeter
