What else can I help you with?
Do compounds have varying compositions?
No. A compound will always have the same composition.
What are solids with the same chemical composition but different structures are called?
These compounds are called isomers.
What is meant by the law of constant composition for compounds?
The law of constant composition for compounds is a law in chemistry according to which any given compound always contains the same component elements in the same ratios, by mass. The ratios do not depend on where the compound comes from or the way in which it was produced.
Compounds with the same chemical composition may have different densities because they?
have different molecular arrangements or crystal structures that affect how closely the atoms are packed together. This can result in variations in the density of the compounds, even though they have the same chemical composition.
Does the composition of a substance always stay the same?
The composition of pure substances, such as elements and compounds, are always the same. The composition of mixtures can vary.
Is the composition of a substance always same?
Today this assertion is only partially valid; many nonstoichiometric compounds are known.
What does having a fixed composition mean?
Having a fixed composition means that a substance always contains the same elements in the same proportion by mass. This characteristic is a defining feature of pure substances like elements and compounds.
Does the compounds C2H2 and C6H6 have the same percent composition by mass?
It does not necessarily mean that. For example glucose (C6H12O6) and formaldehyde (CH2O) have the same percentages of elements by mass, but are two very difference compounds.
Do compounds always contain the same elements in the ratio?
No, compounds do not always contain the same elements in the same ratio. Compounds are formed by the combination of two or more elements in fixed proportions by mass. The ratio of elements in a compound is determined by the chemical formula of the compound.
What is the composition of inorganic compounds?
the composition varies from one compound to another
What cannot possibly have a variable composition?
Nonstoichiometric compounds have a variable composition.
What are the risks of external fertilization?
the sperm may not alwayse get to the egg
