Is NO a element or compound?
Nitric oxide or nitrogen monoxide (NO) is a compound made up of one nitrogen and one oxygen atom per molecule. A compound consists of two or more elements that are chemically combined. For elements with chemical symbols of two letters, the first alphabet would be in capital and the second alphabet would be in small letter.
Is aqua an element or compound?
Aqua, by common meaning is water, owing to the meaning of the original Latin word; however in a chemistry context aqua is also a colloquialism for Aqua Regia. In the first case aqua is a compound, while in the second it is a mixture of ionized acids. Water is a compound of Hydrogen and Oxygen covalently bonded with a chemical formula of H2O. Aqua Regia is entirely more complex, however suffice to say it is a mixture of concentrated Nitric and Hydrochloric acids, with are ions in solution as both being strong acids they ionized completely.

In SF6 the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur is 3.55g In the other compound SFx the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur is 1.18g What is the value of X for the second compound?
1.18 x 3 = 3.55 you need to find the ratio of F to F in each compound. this is the law of multiple proportions stating that the masses of one element which combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in a ratio of whole numbers. here, in this case F would be the "one element" and S would be the "fixed mass", the ratio of F6 to Fx = 3:1 therefore x would be 2 since there is less F in SFx and the ratio is 3:1. divide 6 by 3 and you get 2.

How many total atoms are in the element 2c6h8o7?
First, 2C6H8O7 is NOT an element it is a Compound. Second the formula for the compound TELLS you how many atoms are present! 2C6H8O7 = Ignoring the element symbols is 2*(6+8+7) 2*(6+8+7)= 2*(21) = 42 Atoms
Does the first element in a binary compound have a charge?
hey i am in chem. now and this is a question on my worksheet my notes said that compound composed of 2 different element the total charge ot the cations = total charge of anions so if it helps i put yes they are always ionic but i gused so good luck to you
