A compound is a group of two or more elements
Unstable means it is highly reactive, and can condense, decompose, polymerize, or become self-reactive quite easily due to pressure or temperature
An unstable nuclide is a nucleus of an atom that has an unstable proton to neutron ratio and will therefore go through a process of decay until it reaches its 'ideal ratio', which is the ratio between protons and neutrons at which an element is most stabl.
Also, a nuclide could be unstable when having number of protons more than the maximum limit for number of protons for a nuclide to be stable. All nuclides with number of protons more than 83 are unstable and are naturally radioactive.
Substance may be classified as stable substance or unstable. You can say that it is unstable when it didn't reach the requirement of the rule of eight or octet rule which is to have 8 electrons in one element.
An unstable element is one whose nucleus decays, changing the element into another element. Examples of unstable elements are uranium and plutonium.
Which is a stable compound? LiH2, BeH2, BH2, CH2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: only BeH2 is a true chemical compound !
H2O, HF, KCl, NaOH, (C2F4)n, C6H12O6...wouldn't it be easier to list the unstable ones?
hgo na2o h2o co2
Examples: NaCl, U3O8, ThO2, LiBr etc.
Copper(II)nitride
you see mr. potter you're a wizard
NI5 ?IF it exists it would be Nitrogen PentaIodide. It would also be very unstable (i think) so don't go near it.
copper is less thermally stable compared to sodium. the charge of copper is 2+, which is higher than sodium, which has only one nuclear charge. hence, copper has more polarization compared to sodium ion, making it more distorted and unstable.
The imaginary compound nitrogen pentaiodide would be NI5 , it would not be an acid- there are no ionisable H atoms. (or a Lewis acid- it has no lone pair.) There is a real compound NI3, a very unstable substance a contact explosive. There is a reported PI5, but that is disputed.
Thermally unstable compounds are decomposed before melting or boiling.
If a substance is thermally unstable it means it breaks down at high temperature. It cannot withstand high temperature.
na2co3
Crystals with line defects are thermally unstable as its ethalpy change increases more than its entropy change. This leads to an increased in Gibbs free energy.
In fact, this is an unstable compound, otherwise this would be an ionic compound.
By heating this compound is thermally dissociated: iron oxide and sulfur dioxide are obtained.
According to the given chemical formula, the compound is magnesium peroxide. It is an unstable compound in nature though.
You think probable to the unstable compound P4S2.
Heat can be used to break compounds because there is a chemical reaction that takes place and it causes the particles in the compound to break
Plumbane, or PbH4, is a rare and unstable compound. Not any uses are currently common. Plumbane is an unstable colorless gas.
No. Ammonium nitrate is an unstable compound. It does not occur naturally.
Sodium bicarbonate doesn't burn; this compound is thermally decomposed:2 NaHCO3===========>Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2ONa2CO3===========>Na2O + CO2
