Answer:
Zinc is Zn and Magnesium is Mg
The mass number = protons + neutrons. Bromine has a mass number of 80<span> and 35 protons so </span>80<span>-35 = </span>45<span> neutrons. b) How many electrons does the neutral atom of bromine have? The neutral atom of bromine has 35 electrons because the number of electrons equals the number of protons.</span>
Answer:
(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)
(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)
Explanation:
<em>(a) N and F</em>
Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).
<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>
Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
Answer: false
Explanation:
f this helps typically an element wont have a 2 next to it, to see if something is an element or compound check for the element on the periodic table and see if the structure or name matches the one given to you on the question. for example here it is Co2 on the periodic table it's simply written as Co
co2 or carbon dioxide is a compound not an element, you can even check this on the periodic table
