Answer:
Binary compound
Explanation:
Binary compounds:
The compounds which are made up of the atoms of only two elements are called binary compounds.
For example:
The following compounds are binary:
HCl
H₂O
NH₃
HCl is binary because it is composed of only hydrogen and chlorine. Ammonia is also binary compound because it is made up of only two elements nitrogen and hydrogen.
water is also binary because it is also made up of only two elements hydrogen and oxygen.
SF₆ is binary compound because it consist of atoms of only two elements i.e, sulfur and fluorine.
3CH4 refers to three molecules of a
compound and C3H12 refers to only one
molecule of a compound.
3CH4 and C3H12 are actually different
molecules though they contain the same
number and types of atoms. Recall that both
of them are hydrocarbons hence they
contain only hydrogen and carbon.
3CH4 refers to three molecules of methane
while C3H12 refers to one molecule of
diphenyl methane. Hence 3CH4 refers to
three molecules of a compound and C3H12
refers to only one molecule of a compound.
