Is it possible to tell if an acid or base is strong or weak just by looking at its chemical formula?

Chemistry

It is.

An acid will be strong when its conjugated base is highly stable, and vice-versa.

That can occur for instance through electronic delocalization.

9. In a period, do the number of shielding electrons change? Why do you think
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases, but the number of inner shielding electrons stays the same.  

Explanation:

Their shielding does not change, so the effective nuclear charge — the charge felt by a valence electron — increases.

The valence electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus, decreasing the atomic radius.

For example, consider the elements of Period 3.

\begin{array}{ccccc}& & \textbf{Number of} & \textbf{Inner} & \textbf{Valence}\\\textbf{At. No.} & \textbf{Symbol} & \textbf{Protons} & \textbf{Electrons} & \textbf{Electrons}\\11& \text{Na} & 11 & 10 & 1\\12& \text{Mg} &12 & 10 & 2\\13& \text{Al} & 13 & 10 & 3 \\14& \text{Si} & 14 & 10 & 4 \\15& \text{P} & 15 & 10 & 5\\16& \text{S} & 16 & 10 & 6\\17& \text{Cl} & 17 & 10 & 7\\18& \text{Ar} & 18 & 10 & 8 \\\end{array}

The number of protons increases as you go from one element to the next, but the number of inner electrons is constant.

mote1985 [20]
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases act like a blanket, absorbing IR radiation and preventing it from escaping into outer space. The net effect is the gradual heating of Earth's atmosphere and surface, a process known as global warmin

The light and dark circles in the picture represent different types of atoms. Which picture best represents a pure compound?
UNO [17]
A chemical compound consists of atoms of two or more elements (in this case, apparently just two) bonded together in fixed proportions. The third image represents this best.
