How do I know which element comes first in the formula for a binary molecular compound if i just have the two elements, not the

name (E.g Cl and O, how do i know if it's Cl₂O or OCl₂ since there isn't a cation or anion?).

A student writes the following explanation of how certain molecules are formed.A process is used to chemically link smaller unit
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.  

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.  

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.

I am finding the formula of a compound that has 60% Carbon, 32% Oxygen, and 8% Hydrogen. Although, when it comes to actually cre
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

To determine the molecular formula of the compound, the empirical formula must be determined first. To determine the empirical formula, the percentage of each constituent is divided by its molar mass. This is shown below

Carbon = 60/12 = 5

Oxygen = 32/16 = 2

Hydrogen = 8/1 = 8

The next step is to divide each ratio by the smallest value. The smallest value is 2. It becomes

Carbon = 5/2 = 2.5

It is approximated to 3

Oxygen = 2/2 = 1

Hydrogen = 8/2 = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula is

C3H4O

From the given relative molecular mass of the compound, the molecular formula can be determined

Which actions represent endothermic reactions? Check all that apply. an instant ice pack becoming cold, splitting a gas molecule
DerKrebs [107]
Answer is: an instant ice pack becoming cold, splitting a gas molecule and baking bread.

<span>Endothermic reaction is chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases.
</span>In ice pack, <span>reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings (endothermic reaction), lowering the surrounding temperature.
For splitting molecule and baking bread we must add energy to break bonds between atoms.</span>
