Answer:

Rule 1. The element with the lower group number is written first in the name; the element with the higher group number is written second in the name. Exception: when the compound contains oxygen and a halogen, the name of the halogen is the first word in the name.

The compound FeCI3 is made of ?

Natasha2012 [34]

Hello! Your answer is C, one atom of iron and three atoms of chlorine.

In this case, there is some ambiguity with "Cl". It could be C + I, or Cl. (One being carbon + iodine and the other Chlorine). However, we can see that the only choice that mentions iodine states two atoms, which is incorrect, as if it was iodine, the 3 indicates that there would be three atoms.

Therefore, Cl must be chlorine. If you look at choice C, there are three atoms of chlorine, as indicated by the 3 at the end of the Cl. There is also one molecule of Fe, as there is no number at the end of it so there has to be only one.

B is not correct, as carbon would be only "C". A is not correct as a molecule is a collection of atoms bonded together, therefore, this compound could be named a molecule, but there are not multiple molecules inside this compound.

Hope this helps!

Ch3cooh (acetic acid) can form hydrogen bonds between its molecules. based on the lewis structure shown below, how many hydrogen

never [62]

Answer:
Number of Hydrogen Bond Acceptor atoms = 2

Number of Hydrogen Bond Donor atoms = 1

Explanation:
Hydrogen bond interactions are formed between those molecules which contains partial positive hydrogen atoms bonded covalently to most electronegative atoms like Oxygen, Nitrogen and Fluorine.
When hydrogen is attached to Oxygen, Nitrogen or Fluorine its electron density decreases and gets partial positive charge, this partial positive charged hydrogen atom then makes hydrogen bonding with the most electronegative element (partial negative) of neighbor molecule.
In Acetic acid there are two oxygen atoms hence there are two most electronegative elements therefore, two Hydrogen Bond Acceptor atom and each oxygen atom can accept two hydrogen bonds.
Also, it contains only one Hydrogen atom attached to oxygen atom so it has one Hydrogen Bond Donor atom.

What is -22 = -9+ n

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

n= -13

Explanation:

-22 = -9 + n

first flip the equation

n + -9 = -22

then add 9 beacuse we need to do the opposite to find n

so -22 + -9 = - 13

so n = -13
