Why do atoms become anion and cations (remember the octet rule and how 8 is a very important number)?

Answer:

The atoms become cations because they have lost electrons and the atoms and has a positive charge then atoms become a ions because they have gained electrons from cations and has a negative charge

Which compound has the highest boiling point? HF, HI, HBr, HCl, or F2?

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

This concept can be understood from the knowledge of Intermolecular forces of attraction.

Intermolecular bonds are Van der Waals forces which are weak forces of attraction joining non-polar and polar molecules together. They exist in the form of London Dispersion Forces and Dipole-dipole attraction.

An example of Dipole-dipole attraction is the hydrogen bond which is a unique dipole-dipole attraction between polar molecules in which a hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen).

Molecules that possess the characteristics of hydrogen bonding have a higher boiling point. In the given question, only HF undergo hydrogen bond due to the electronegative effect of the fluorine element.

F2 occurs as a weak London dispersion force and it occurs between non-polar molecules.

Describe how the periodic table differentiates between metals and nonmetals.

dmitriy555 [2]

Most of the elements on the periodic table are metals...generally speaking...metals occur on the left side of the periodic table, and non-metals occur on the right side of the periodic table...

...check out the periodic table locate at: http://www.elementsdatabase.com/ 
look at the second colored periodic table...take a look at the key for this table...notice that the non-metals are colored white or red...all other elements would therefore be metals...

Formula los siguientes compuesto: Dietil eter, Etanol, Propanotriol, Acido Propanodioico, Pentanal, Pentano-2,4-diona, Metanoato

9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

En este caso para formular los compuestos, debes identificar el grupo funcional principal de la molecula. Una vez que eso está hecho, puedes intentar formularlo.

Empezaremos primero identificando el grupo funcional principal de la molécula, para luego formularlo correctamente.

Dietil eter: la terminación eter al final significa que pertenece al grupo de los éteres, el cual tiene como formula general R - O - R.

Etanol: debido a que termina en ol, este grupo pertenece a los alcoholes. Para formularlo solo se dibuja la molecula del etano, junto a un enlace con el grupo OH, como su formula general R - OH.

Propanotriol: igualmente termina en ol, por lo tanto es un alcohol, sin embargo, en este caso, tambien tiene la terminación prefija tri, asi que significa que hay 3 grupos OH en la molecula.

Acido propanodioico: esta es sencilla, porque empieza como acido, y solo hay un grupo funcional que empieza así y son los acidos carboxilicos, es decir, el grupo COOH (R - COOH) que es el carboxilo. Tiene el prefijo di, antes del oico, por lo que son dos carboxilos presentes en la molecula.

Pentanal: el sufijo al, significa que pertenece al grupo de los aldehidos, en este caso, posee el grupo carbonilo H - C = O.

Pentano - 2,4 - diona: la terminación ona significa que pertenece al grupo de las cetonas, (R - CO - R), parecido a los aldehidos, con la diferencia de que tiene grupos alquilos en lugar de un hidrogeno.

Metanoato de metilo: la terminación ato de ilo, pertenece a los esteres, (R - COOR) derivado de los acidos carboxilicos.

De aqui en adelante solo mencionaré los grupos funcionales pues ya se explicó el por que, por sus terminaciones:

Ciclohexano - 1.3 - diol: este pertenece a los alcoholes.

Acido heptanoico: acido carboxilico

Ciclobutil metil eter: eteres

Acetato de etilo: ester

2-metilbenzaldehído: aldehído unido a un grupo aromatico como el benceno.

Ciclohexanona: un ciclo (cadena cerrada) unido a un grupo carbonilo.

Butanona: cetona.

Written in this form, carbon-13, what does the 13 represent and what is the atomic number?

tigry1 [53]

Explanation:
Carbon has 3 isotopes. Carbon-12, Carbon-13, and Carbon-14
All of them have an atomic number of 6, which means all of them have 6 protons (if they had different numbers of protons, they'd be different elements).
Since they all have 6 protons, in their elemental forms, they all have 6 electrons, too.
Carbon-12:
Atomic number: 6
Mass number: 12
protons: 6
electrons: 6
neutrons: 6
Carbon-13:
Atomic number: 6
Mass number: 13
protons: 6
electrons: 6
neutrons: 7
Carbon-14:
Atomic number: 6
Mass number: 14
protons: 6
electrons: 6
neutrons: 8
