Answser: the representative unit of carbon dioxide is the molecule CO₂.

Justification:

1) carbon dioxide is made of one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen chemically bonded by covalent bonds.

2) A molecule is formed when two or more atoms are bonded by covalent bonds.

3) Some other examples of molecules are: water (H₂O), oxygen (O₂), the fats, the carbohydrates, glucose.

4) The term molecule is reserved for atoms bonded by covalent bonds, so ionic compounds like NaCl, are not named molecules. NaCl is told to represent a formula unit instead of a molecule.

Which of the following is the correct name for the compound mgbr2? magnesium bromate magnesium bromide magnesium dibromide magne

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Correct answer is magnesium bromide. This is an ionic compound with metal forming a positive ion - K+ and halogen forming a negative ion - Br-. When group 7 element form ions they have a suffix -ide. Bromine is the element and when it forms a negative ion bromine is called bromide with the suffix.
Magnesium gives 2 electrons and bromine can take only 1 electron, therefore 2 bromine atoms are needed. Therefore magnesium forms ionic bonds with 2 bromine atoms.
The compound is called magnesium bromide

Naturally occurring neon exists as three isotopes. 90.51% is ne-20 with a mass of 19.99 amu, 0.27% is ne-21 with a mass of 20.99

gregori [183]

The atomic mass of an element is the average relative mass of its atoms as compared with an atom of carbon-12 whose mass is taken as 12. In terms of percentages of different isotopes, the average atomic mass can be determined as follows: $A_{average}$ = ∑( $p_{i}$ X $A_{i}$ )/100. Where, $p_{i}$ is the percentage abundance of isotope with atomic number $A_{i}$ .
