What is the difference between stoichiometric and non stoichiometric solids?

Non-stoichiometric compounds are chemical compounds with an elemental composition that cannot be represented by a ratio of well-defined natural numbers.Stoichiometric compounds are compounds in which atoms are combined in exact whole-number ratios.


What are non stochiometric compounds?

A non stoichiometric compound is one where an exact integer ratio of atoms is not achieved. An example is FeO- all laboratory specimens are "iron deficient" with formals of about Fe0.8 O this is a feature of non -stoichiometric compounds their composition is variable within narrow limits- some of the iron is Fe3+, the crystal lattice has "defects" that accomodate them. (Pure FeO can be made but it is pyrophoric (may spontaneously in flame)


Is iron oxide a non stoichiometric compound?

Yes, iron oxide can exist as a non-stoichiometric compound. This means that the ratio of iron to oxygen atoms in the compound is not a whole number and can vary. Examples include magnetite (Fe3O4) and wüstite (FeO).


What is non stoichiometry?

Non-stoichiometry refers to the deviation from an exact ratio of atoms in a compound. This occurs when a compound does not have the expected ratio of elements due to defects or vacancies in the structure. Non-stoichiometric compounds can exhibit variable properties such as conductivity or color.


Examples of ionic and covalent compounds?

Ionic compounds: NaCl, KOH, CuSO4, etc. Any compound containing a metal and a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals have positive ions (they lose electrons to the non metal) and non-metals have negative ions (as they gain electrons from the metal) Covalent compounds: CH4, BF3, NH3, all hydrocarbons/ all compounds containing only non-metals.

A berthollide is any non-stoichiometric compound.


What is anhydrous copper sulphide?

The chemical formulas of copper sulfides are CuS and Cu2S. Copper sulfides are non-stoichiometric compounds. Anhydrous meaning is without water. Copper sulfides hasn't hydrates.


What is a mixture of metals or of a metal and non metal?

An alloy is a mixture of metals, while an intermetallic compound is a mixture of a metal and a non-metal. Alloys are typically formed by mixing two or more metals together, while intermetallic compounds are formed by combining a metal with a non-metal in a specific stoichiometric ratio.


Can a mixture be defined by chemical formula?

Not by a single one. You can have the individual compounds making up the mixture be present in a stoichiometric ratio, of course, though you don't have to.


Are non binary compounds and polyatomic compounds the same thing?

yes


Which compounds elute first in non polar gc column?

In a non-polar GC column, compounds with lower polarity elute first. Non-polar compounds are less attracted to the non-polar stationary phase of the column, so they move through the column faster than polar compounds.
