What formula represents the actual number of atoms of each element in a compound?
A formula that gives the ratio of elements in a compound is called an empirical formula. On the other hand, the formula that shows the number of atoms in each element present in a molecule is called a molecular formula.
What do subscripts represent?
the number of the elements that is present in a compound
What does chemical formula of a compound represents?
A chemical formula or molecular formula is a way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a chemical compound.So this being said, that basically means the chemical formula represents the atoms that are bonded to one another (An atom is classified according to chemical element and isotope more specifically)
What compound represents aluminum iodide?
It is AlI3. The character after the A is a lower case L, the next one is an upper case i and the final number should be in subscript.
How do you find the molar mass of a compound using the periodic table?
1) Get the chemical formula to determine the number of each type of atom present in the compound. 2) Multiply the atomic weight (get it from the periodic table) of each element by the number of atoms of that element present your specific compound 3) Do the Sum in unit grams/mole NaCl (1x23 grams/mole Na) + (1x 35.5 grams/mole Cl) = 58.5 grams/mole NaCl
What formula represents the actual number of atoms of each element in a compound?
A formula that gives the ratio of elements in a compound is called an empirical formula. On the other hand, the formula that shows the number of atoms in each element present in a molecule is called a molecular formula.
What is an emperical formula?
An empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound. It does not provide information about the actual number of atoms present in a molecule. To determine the empirical formula, one must divide the subscripts of the compound's molecular formula by the greatest common divisor to obtain the simplest ratio.
What is the oxidation number of Na2S2O3?
This compound is sodium thiosulphate. S represents +6 oxidation number.
What do subscripts represent?
the number of the elements that is present in a compound
What does the term 2N mean?
2n is the diploid number. It double the number of chromosomes present in a genome. 2n represents the number of chromosomes in a somatic cell. The number n is called the haploid number. n represents the number of chromosomes present in a germ cell
What is the difference between a numeral and a number?
A numeral is the symbol or word that represents the number, while a number is the actual amount of the numeral.
What tells you the number of inches on the planimetric map for every actual mile that the map represents?
Scale
What do you call number of atoms of different elements present in a compound?
molecular formula
What does avogadro's number signify?
It is the number of particles - atoms or molecules - that are present in 1 mole of the element or compound.
What specifies the actual number of atoms of each element inone molecule of a compound?
molecular formula
What is the oxidation number of H in the compound NaH?
-1. The hydrogen is present as the anion, H-.
What is major difference between an element and compound?
A compound is 2 or more atoms of different elements bonded together. An element can be just one atom. Each atom represents an element, depending on the number of protons present in the nucleus. until those atoms bond for example, two atoms of hydrogen and one atom oxygen bond to create the compound of water.
