The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compoundswill contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost allinorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms. While mostinorganic compounds do not contain carbon, there are a few that do.

An organic compound is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon

Inorganic compounds can be defined as any compound that is not organic compound. Some simple compounds which contain carbon are usually considered inorganic. These include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, carbides, and thiocyanates.

2 elements with same properties as K could be rubidium and sodium. Elements in the same column (vertical) will have similar properties to each other

Mg has 12 protons- this is given on the (generally) the top left of the element on the periodic table. We know protons have a positive charge so to make the element neutral there would be 12 electrons to balance the protons. The neutrons is usually the same number as the protons but since the majority of an atoms weight is in protons and neutrons- electrons mass in negligee it’s so small- you can subtract the number of protons from the mass number. In this case : 24-12= 12. So there are 12 neutrons

Calculate the mole fraction of the total ions in an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving 0.400 moles of MgBr2 in 850.0 g of w
diamong [38]
 <span>moles water = 850.0 g / 18.02 g/mol=47.2 
moles Mg2+ = 0.400 
moles Cl- = 2 x 0.400 = 0.800 
moles ions = 0.400 + 0.800= 1.2 
mole fraction ions = 1.2 / 1.2 + 47.2 =0.0248</span>

What different physical property allows the distillation method to work?
shusha [124]

Distillation is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. To separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force components, which have different boiling points , into the gas phase .
