Why do we write chemical compounds inside brackets

Chemistry
1 answer:
ch4aika [34]4 years ago
6 0

The square brackets are used in case of complex compounds. This is known as coordination sphere. There is a metal in the coordination sphere and ligands attached to it. This complete set of metals and ligands inside the brackets is complex ion or molecule.

The ions outside this coordination sphere are counter ions of the complex.

It represents that if the complex compound is dissolved in water it will give a complex ion and the counter ion. The atoms in the bracket cannot break there bonds and will remain un-dissociated.

If there is no such bracket then it will represent simple or binary salt.

1. How would the loss of tin oxide from the evaporating, due to spattering, etc. affect the empirical formula of your tin oxide?
Burka [1]

Answer:

It will have no effect

Explanation:

The loss of tin oxide to evaporation will have no effect on the empirical formula of a compound.

The empirical formula of any compound is the simplest formula of that compound by which the combining atoms can be represented.

This formula is not affect by physical changes.

According to the law of constant composition  "all pure samples of the same compound have the same element in the same proportion by mass".

Regardless of the mass loss or gain of any tin oxide compound, it will have the same empirical and molecular formula. The atoms are still combining in the ratio to give the product.
