Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Mg + Br₂ → MgBr₂

Balanced chemical equation:

Mg + Br₂ → MgBr₂

Left hand side Right hand side

Mg = 1 Mg = 1

Br = 2 Br = 2

There are one Mg and 2 Br atoms on both side of equation thus this equation is balanced. Thus coefficient with bromine is 1.

Mg is present in group 2 it loses two valance electrons and get +2 oxidation state. Bromine is present in group 17 have 7 valence electrons. Thus one bromine atom need only one electron to complete the octet that's why two bromine atoms will attached with one magnesium atom to cancel the charge +2 and make the compound neutral.

. What is a carbonyl group? Draw the carbonyl groups that are characteristic of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters

Elan Coil [88]

Answer :

Carbonyl group : It is a functional group composed of a carbon atom that double bonded to oxygen atom. It is represented as $C=O$

Carboxylic group : It is the class of organic compound in which the carboxylic (-COOH) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as carboxylic.

The general formula of carboxylic is, $C_nH_{2n+1}COOH$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the carboxylic are named as alkanoic acids.

Aldehyde group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CHO) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as aldehyde.

The general representation of aldehyde is, $R-CHO$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the aldehyde are named as alkanals.

Ketone group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ketone.

The general representation of ketone is, $R-CO-R^'$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the ketone are named as alkanone.

Ester group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-COO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ester.

The general representation of ester is, $R-COO-R^'$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the ester are named as alkyl alkanoate.

How is copper sulphate different to copper sulphide in terms of the elments it contains

son4ous [18]

Answer:

An Element is a substance made up of only one type of atom as like gold, copper, oxygen, etc.

Copper sulphate with molecular formula $(CuSO_4)$ , the elements are copper, sulphur and oxygen. It is formed by combination of $Cu^{2+}$ cation and $SO_4^{2-}$ anion.

Copper sulphide with molecular formula $(CuS)$ , the elements are copper and sulphur. It is formed by combination of $Cu^{2+}$ cation and $S^{2-}$ anion.
