What is the algebraic sum of the charges in a compound?
The algebraic sum of the charges in a compound is zero. Each atom contributes either a negative or a positive charge to form the compound when they react with each other.
Is hydrogen peroxide a ionic compound?
No. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a covalent compound. Each oxygen atom goes through single bonding with the other oxygen atom, and another single bond with one hydrogen atom.
What type of compound has a covalent bond?
There is a covalent bond between the oxygen and each hydrogen in a watermolecule (H2O). Each of the covalent bonds contains two electrons - one from a hydrogen atom and one from the oxygen atom. Both atoms share the electrons.
What a compound formula tells about compound'?
It tells what elements are in a compound and the number of each type of atom in each molecule/formula unit.
Is copper a compound atom or mixture?
Copper is a element. It is neither compound nor mixture.
What would happen if sodium atom and neon atom were put near each other?
They would have a very strong disagreement, but there would be no chemistry between them, so no compound.
Does one atom of carbon bond with four other atoms?
It can, but not always. In Methane, for example, it is bonded to four atoms of Hydrogen. But in Ethylene, each carbon atom is bonded to two atoms of Hydrogen, and share a double bond with each other. In Acetylene, each carbon atom is bonded to one atom of Hydrogen, and are triple bonded to each other. So while it always has four bonds, the bonds don't have to be made with four different atoms.
Explain what happens when two hydrogen atoms bond?
Each hydrogen atom has 1 electron. When two hydrogen atoms combine they each share that electron with the other hydrogen atom, creating a covalent bond and a molecule of H2.
When cesium reacts with oxygen to form an ionic compound each metal atom loses 2 electrons and each nonmetal atom gains?
Each caesium atom loses an electron and the oxygen atom gain two electrons (for Cs2O).
What elements are in hydrogen fluride?
Hydrogen and fluorine. One of each atom in the compound.
Do subscripts represent the relative mass of each type of atom in the compound?
Yes!
Is an atom a compound that can take part in a chemical reaction?
No. An atom is made of Elements. Name of element is decided by number of Protons, containing in it's Nucleus. Two or more different types of elements react with each other to form compound in what is called as chemical reaction.
