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.

If the acceleration is 600 m/s/s and the mass is 300 kg, what force is acting on the object?
vampirchik [111]

Explanation:

Acceleration (a) = 600 m/s²

Mass (m) = 300 kg

Force (F) = ?

We know

F = m * a

= 300 * 600

=180000 Newton

The force acting on the object is 18000 Newton.

How many σ and π bonds are present in a molecule of cumulene?
dimaraw [331]

A hydrocarbon with three or more consecutive (cumulative) double bonds is known as a cumulene. They are analogous to allenes, only exhibiting a more elongated chain. The basic molecule in this category is butatriene, which is also simply known as cumulene.  

In the structure of a cumulene, there are 3 double bonds and 4 single bonds. The double bond comprises 1 sigma bond, and 1 pi bond and 4 hydrogen bond produces a sigma bond with carbon. Thus, the molecule of cumulene comprises 7 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds.
