The formula and names of the compounds are:

1. Formula of compound => MoF₃

Name of compound => Molybdenum trifluoride

2. Formula of compound => MoF₄

Name of compound => Molybdenum tetrafluoride

3. Formula of compound => MoF₅

Name of compound => Molybdenum pentafluoride  

4. Formula of compound => MoF₆

Name of compound => Molybdenum hexafluoride  

1. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 63.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 63.0%

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 63 = 37%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 63.0%

F = 37%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 63.0 / 96 = 0.656

F = 37 / 19 = 1.947

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.656 / 0.656 = 1

F = 1.947 / 0.656 = 3

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₃

Name of compound => Molybdenum trifluoride

2. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 56.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 56.0%,

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 56 = 44%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 56%

F = 44%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 56 / 96 = 0.583

F = 44 / 19 = 2.316

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.583 / 0.583 = 1

F = 2.316 / 0.583 = 4

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₄

Name of compound => Molybdenum tetrafluoride

3. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 50.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 50.0%,

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 50 = 50%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 50%

F = 50%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 50 / 96 = 0.520

F = 50 / 19 = 2.632

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.520 / 0.520 = 1

F = 2.632 / 0.520 = 5

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₅

Name of compound => Molybdenum pentafluoride  

4. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 46.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 46.0%,

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 46 = 54%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 46%

F = 54%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 46 / 96 = 0.479

F = 54 / 19 = 2.842

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.479 / 0.479 = 1

F = 2.842 / 0.479 = 6

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₆

Name of compound => Molybdenum hexafluoride

1. write the complete chemical symbol for the ion with 14 protons 15 neutrons and 18 electrons
motikmotik

Answer:

1.   Si^{-4}

2.  Co^{+2}

Explanation:

An ion is formed when an atom that is said to be neutral gains or losses electrons.

It is thought that a negative ion (anion) is produced as it gains electrons and a positive ion (cation) is formed when it loses an electron.

Atomic number is the total number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom.

From the information

Protons = 14

electron = 18

Net Charge = no of proton - no of electron

= 14 - 18 = -4

Mass number = 14 + 15 = 29

Thus, the chemical symbol = Si^{-4}

For ion with 27 proton, 32 neutrons and 25 electrons

Net charge = 27 - 25 = +2

Mass number = 27 + 32 = 59

Thus, the chemical symbol = Co^{+2}

T/F___ At the eutectic composition, an alloy can solidify at a constant temperature.___ For effective dispersion strengthening,
azamat

Answer:

  • TRUE
  • FALSE
  • TRUE
  • FALSE
  • FALSE
  • TRUE

Explanation:

  • At the eutectic composition, an alloy can solidify at a constant temperature : TRUE . this is because at eutectic composition the type of reaction that takes place there is invariant reaction in its thermal equilibrium
  • For effective dispersion strengthening, the dispersed phase should be needle-like, as opposed to round : FALSE. because the rounded shape will not cause a crack.
  • Intermetallic compounds are usually hard and brittle : TRUE. because Intermetallic compounds prevents dislocation movements and this makes them brittle and hard
  • For the effective dispersion and strengthening, the dispersed phase should be continuous : FALSE. this is because the dispersed precipitate must be small and not continuous
  • Stoichiometric intermetallic compounds exist over a range of compositions : FALSE
  • Faster solidification results in smaller interlamellar spacing : TRUE

The charges of a set of isoelectronic ions vary from 3+ to 3-. Place the ions in order of increasing size.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

  Iso-electronic species have same number of electrons . Positive charged ions will have smaller size . As electrons add , size increases due to electronic repulsion .

Following species are isoelectronic .

Al³⁺ < Mg²⁺ < Na¹⁺ < Ne < F⁻¹ < O⁻² < N⁻³
