Why does oxygen exist as a diatonic molecule and not simply the O atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
Brrunno [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule in nature when it is not combined with any other element. It forms O2 molecule because it is stable when it is uncombined. It has the lowest energy level when uncombined. ... By achieving octet configuration, the diatomic elements become more stable compared to the single atom.

Write a balanced equation for its combustion reaction.
laila [671]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon in question is;

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

  • A balanced chemical equation is one in which the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
  • In this case;
  • Reactant side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
  • Product side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
  • An equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on reactants and products involved in the reaction.
  • An equation is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.

Can you describe the situations when Greek prefixes are used?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

At the introductory level of chemistry, I can think of only two situations when you use Greek prefixes.

They indicate the number of atoms or groups in a molecule when you are naming a compound.

1. Binary covalent compounds

For example, P₂S₅ is diphosphorus pentasulfide.

2. Hydrates

For example, Na₂SO₄·10H₂O is sodium sulfate decahydrate.
