Why is cl2 a subcript​

Chemistry
1 answer:
vazorg [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

In Cl_2, the 2 is a subscript because it indicates there are 2 of the same elements. The Lewis structure would display it as Cl-Cl.

On the other hand, a superscript would indicate a specific charge.

All subscripts show the amount of the specific element there is.

An example would be O_2\\ or N_2, they both show that there are 2 of the same elements.

If the subscript is outside a parenthesis such as Ca_3(PO_4)_2 it indicates there are 2 PO_4 molecules.

The element is Sr (strontium)

strontium is in atomic number 38 in the periodic table. Strontium has 2.8.8.8.8.2

it loses two electrons to become  stable hence it has a charge of   2+. when strontium loses two electron it form ion with 36 electrons

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The forward reaction is exothermic.

Explanation:

  • Le Châtelier's principle states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.
  • When the mixture turned darker brown, this means that the reaction is shifted towards the left direction (reactants side).
  • The temperature is increased and the reaction shifted to the reverse direction, this means that the forward direction is exothermic.
  • Exothermic reaction releases heat and when increasing the temperature, the reaction will be shifted to the reverse direction to suppress the effect of increasing the temperature.
  • <em>So the right choice is: The forward reaction is exothermic. </em>
