Why don't I need prefixes to designate the number of each type of element when naming ionic compounds?

We use prefixes in ionic compounds Don't use numeric prefixes like mono, di, tri, etc. when naming ionic compounds - they are used only to denote covalent molecular compounds.

For question numbers 1 and 2, two statements are given - one labelled
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

(iv) (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Explanation:

It is not true that carbon has a strong tendency to either lose or gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration. Carbon is a member of group 14, it is the first member of the group and carbon is purely a non metal. Only metals metals can loose electrons to attain the noble gas configuration. Moreover, carbon does not participate in ionic bonding so it does not gain electrons to attain the noble gas configuration.

However, carbon participates in covalent bonding where it is covalently bonded to four other chemical species using its four outermost electrons. Carbon forms covalent bonds in which four electrons are shared with other chemical species.

If 3.91 moles of H2 were used, how many moles of NH3 would be made?<br><br> HELP PLEASE ASAP
matrenka [14]

N + H2 → NH3

balance the equation

2N + 3H2 → 2NH3

3H2 → 2NH3

3 : 2

3.91 ÷ 3 = 1.303 mol

1.3 × 2 = 2.606 mol

Which parts of atoms can interact (react) to form chemical bonds?
EastWind [94]
The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.
