Long Answer:

Ionic: Cation is named first followed by the anion.

If it's an ionic compound with a transition metal, there are more than one possible ion. Molecular - named with the least electronegative ion first + prefixes are given to both ions to indicate number of atoms in each element.

Short Answer: Ionic compounds- Cation is named first, followed by the anion.

What element/compounds are used in the melting of ice?

Galina-37 [17]

The temperature of the air, pavement, and the type of ice-melt compound used will affect the rate at which the ice melts. There are many different ice-melt compounds available from traditional rock salt (sodium chloride) to ice-melt pellets (calcium chloride).

What is the mass in grams of 2.50 mol of ammonia vapor, NH3?

Crank

Molar mass:-

$\\ \tt\longmapsto 14+3(1)=17g/mol$

Now

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Given\:mass=No\;of\:moles\times Molar\;mass$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Given\:mass=17(2.5)$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Given\:mass=42.5g$

Write an equation that shows the formation of the chloride ion from a neutral chlorine atom

jeka57 [31]

The gaining of electron by an atom results in the formation of anion shown by the negative charge on the atom whereas lose of electron results in the formation of cation shown by positive charge on the atom. The atom lose or gain electron to complete their octet and get stable in nature.

The chlorine atom will gain an electron and form chloride anion with one negative charge on it. The chloride ion is more stable in nature compared to the chlorine atom due to complete octet of chloride ion by gaining of electron.

Electronic configuration of chlorine atom is:

$[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{5}$

By gaining of one electron, electronic configuration of chloride ion is:

$[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{6}$

Thus, the equation that shows the formation of the chloride ion from a neutral chlorine atom is:

$Cl+1e^{-}\rightarrow Cl^{-}$

How do the densities of the two objects compare?

Marizza181 [45]

Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³. If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.
