Answer: The correct answer (C).

Explanation:

Binary compounds: These are the type of chemical compounds which are composed of two different elements. They cannot be further simplified by any chemical methods.

Here , in given option carbon dioxide is a binary compound made up of carbon and oxygen element.

Where as barium and beryllium are pure elements and calcium hydroxide is compound made up of three elements : calcium, hydrogen and oxygen.

So, the correct answer (C).

A binary compound is a compound that contain two different chemical elements in it. These compounds may be molecular or may also exist in other forms such as solid. In this case Barium and Beryllium are not binary compounds since they are independent elements, Calcium hydroxide is also not a binary compound since it has more than two chemical elements. Therefore,carbon dioxide is the binary compound since it contains two chemical elements ( carbon and oxygen)

Masja [62]

Answer:

The atomic mass of the boron atom would be 10.135

Explanation:

This is generally known as relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.

Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.

Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass
Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus

Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)

= 2.035 + 8.1

= 10.135
