Why is cl2 a subcript​

Chemistry
1 answer:
vazorg [7]3 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.

Below is an attachment of the Lewis structure with the lowest formal charges.

The formal charge is the fictitious charge that an atom in a molecule would have if the electrons in the bonds were evenly distributed among the atoms. The nonbonding electrons on a neutral atom are subtracted from its valence electron count, which is then followed by the number of bonds that bind it to other atoms in the Lewis structure, to get the formal charge. This is another way to put it. When hyponitrous acid is oxidized in the atmosphere, nitric and nitrous acids are produced. By reducing a nitrate or nitrite by sodium amalgam in the presence of water, hyponitrite salts have been created.

Which macromolecules break apart by hydrolysis?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Dehydration synthesis reactions build molecules up and generally require energy, while hydrolysis reactions break molecules down and generally release energy. Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are built up and broken down via these types of reactions, although the monomers involved are different in each case.
