Is the head of a matchstick a compound?

Yes, the head of a matchstick is a compound. It is typically made of a mixture of chemicals such as phosphorus sulfide, potassium chlorate, and sulfur, which ignite when struck against a rough surface.


What is the distinction between the endocentric compoud and the exocentric compoud?

In an endocentric compound, one element is the head that determines the category of the compound, while the other element specifies the meaning more precisely (e.g., 'blackbird,' where 'bird' is the head). In an exocentric compound, the meaning does not rely on one element to determine the category, and the compound's meaning must be derived from outside the compound (e.g., 'pickpocket,' where the compound does not fit strictly into the category of either 'pick' or 'pocket').


Will head lice die in chlorine water?

Chlorine may help kill head lice in water, such as in a swimming pool, but it may not be completely effective. It is recommended to use specialized treatments to get rid of head lice infestations, as they are more reliable in eliminating the parasites.


What does the chemical formula in an ionic compound represent?

My teacher has engraved this saying into my head: chemical formulas are mole ratios. Each compound is composed of elements and each molecule of a compound is created by the same ratio of elements. For example MgCl2 (Magnesium chloride). For every MgCl2 molecule, one Mg+2 ion and two Cl-1 ions come together to form MgCl2. This means that for every mole of MgCl2, it will be made up of 1 mole of Mg and 2 moles of Cl. The subscripts on the elements are the number of moles of each element used to create the compound, so it would be correct to say that the chemical formula is a ratio of moles of each of the elements in the compound.


What slippery compound is there?

One example of a slippery compound is soap. Soap molecules have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail, allowing them to reduce the surface tension of water and create a slippery sensation when mixed with water.
