Which of the following chemical formulas show three molecules of a compound that has one
mr_godi [17]

The chemical formula : 3HgBr₂(Mercury(II) bromide)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The chemical formulas of Mercury and Bromine

Required

The appropriate chemical formula

Solution

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

The number of molecules is determined by the coefficient in front of the compound

the number of atoms is determined by the subscript after the atom and the coefficient

Three molecules⇒ coefficient = 3

one atom of Mercury ⇒Hg

two atoms of Bromine ⇒ Br₂

The chemical formula : 3HgBr₂

Tanya [424]

Answer:

A. 2C + H₂ ⟶ CH₄  

Explanation:

A. 2C + H₂ ⟶ CH₄

UNBALANCED. 2C on the left and 1C on the right

B. 2Al₂O₃ ⟶ 4Al + 3O₂  

Balanced. Same number of each type of atom on each side.

C. 2H₂O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O + O₂  

Balanced. Same number of each type of atom on each side.

D. 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ ⟶ 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Balanced. Same number of each type of atom on each side.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

An AX₂E₂ geometry is derived from an AX₄ parent geometry and is based upon 4 regions of electron density about the central element and defines a tetrahedral geometry and the geometry is bent angular.

An example is the water molecule (H₂O) with two covalent O - H bonds and two free pair electrons on the central oxygen element.
