Why are polyatomic called radicals

Chemistry
1 answer:
Digiron [165]2 years ago
3 0
That’s because when a charged chemical species composes of two or more atoms (covalently bonded), they act as a single unit. the term radicals refers to free radicals that are with an unpaired electron and because not all of its electrons are found in pairs

Write a word equation and a skeleton equation for each of the following descriptions of chemical reactions:
monitta

Answer:

1) Lithium + chlorine  →  Lithium chloride

2) Li + Cl₂   →   LiCl

Explanation:

Skeleton equation:

Li + Cl₂   →   LiCl

Skeleton equation with physical states:

Li(s) + Cl₂(g)   →   LiCl(s)

Balanced equation:

2Li(s) + Cl₂(g)  →   2LiCl(s)

Word equation:

Lithium + chlorine  →  Lithium chloride

When solid lithium react with gaseous chlorine it form lithium chloride. The oxidation state of lithium is +1 while that of chlorine is -1. Thus one atom of lithium and one atom of chlorine are combined to make overall compound neutral and both are in stable state.

If an atom of sodium had an atomic number of 11, and lost and electron , what would you have?
dangina [55]
The atomic number of an element tells you how many protons each atom has. Losing an electron won't affect the number of protons. It will, however, change the charge on the atom. Protons are positive and electrons are negative. If there's more positive than negative then the atom has a positive charge. So the charge for the sodium atom would be +1

A sample of water is boiling as heat is added at a constant rate. Which statement describes the potential energy and the average
Elena L [17]
The statement which describes the potential and the kinetic energy of the water is this: THE POTENTIAL ENERGY INCREASES AND THE AVERAGE KINETIC ENERGY REMAINS THE SAME.
At boiling point of water, the heat that is been added to the water is used to break the chemical bonds that holds the molecules of the water together so that they can turn into vapour. At this point, the average kinetic energy of the water remains the same while the potential energy increases.
