It is a compound because a compound is two or more different elements chemically combined.
Answer:
1) Ba(OH)₂
2) The correct option is a) they conduct electricity.
Explanation:
To deduce the formula of Barium hydroxide, we have to go to the periodic table and look for the Barium (Ba), which is in group 2 and has an ionic charge of 2+. Hydroxides are not an element that is present in the periodic table is the combination of Oxygen and Hydrogen (OH), and its ionic charge is 1-.
To name this substance, we write the elements that form it, which are Ba OH, then we see the ionic charges that they have, Ba2+ OH 1- and we change these charges giving the 2+ to the OH and the 1- to the Ba. It would look Ba OH₂; we do not write the 1, and as there is a 2, the OH, has to be between brackets so that the final formula is Ba(OH)₂. What we did is balancing the charges of the elements. In other words, we need 2 OH for every Ba. Hydroxides give an electron to balance the Ba ionic charge.
Barium Hydroxide is an ionic compound because ionic compounds are formed by a metal (Ba) and a nonmetal element (OH), ionic compounds are charged, so when they are in an aqueous solution they conduct electricity because their ions move freely in the solution.

Number of moles is found by formula n=mass/molar mass, or m/M. the molar mass is found by adding together the atomic masses of Na and Cl (22.99 + 35.45) to give 58.44 g/mol. Since the mass of NaCl is 75.0g, we find the number of moles as follows:
n = 75.0 / 58.44 = 1.28 mol
