The -ide ending usually tells us that the compound is what?

The -ide ending typically indicates that the compound is made up of two elements, with the second element being a non-metal. These compounds are known as binary compounds.


What is the second electron affinity of chlorine?

Chlorine has a negative second electron affinity because it releases energy when gaining an additional electron. This makes it less likely to accept a second electron compared to its first electron affinity, which is positive.


Why do ionic compounds form between metals and nonmetals?

u better not go to hillfield the answer is so simple Answer: First of all who ever wrote that first answer, you're not very nice and your typing needs some work. Second, this is an accurate answer to use: Ionic bonds are formed between atoms with a large electronegativity difference. Electronegativity refers to the atom's ability to attract electrons in a bond. &Since metals are not electronegative and non-metals are, ionic compounds form between metals and non-metals. However not all metals and non-metals react to form ionic compounds. There are exceptions like AlCl3.


How many electron rings does carbon have?

Carbon has 2 electron rings. The first electron ring can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second electron ring can hold up to 8 electrons. Carbon typically has 4 electrons, so it fills up the first electron ring and has 2 electrons in the second electron ring.


How are nonmetals named in an ionic compound?

Nonmetals(anion) are written second after the metal(cation).

Where are the most reactive nonmetals?

The most reactive nonmetals are the Halogens. They are located in the second to last row on the Periodic Table from the right.


What is the current?

Current is defined to be a flow of electrically charged carriers. These are usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms. It is symbolized by uppercase letter I.

If an electron is in the second energy level in which type of orbitals could this electron be in?

If an electron is in the second principle energy level, that is, n = 2, then that electron could be in an s or p orbital.


Why first electron affinity is greater than the second one?

The first electron affinity is generally greater than the second because the process of adding an electron to a neutral atom is typically more favorable than adding a second electron to an already negatively charged ion. When the first electron is added, it experiences relatively less repulsion from existing electrons. However, when a second electron is added, it encounters increased electron-electron repulsion due to the negative charge of the ion, making the process less exothermic and thus resulting in a lower electron affinity.


Why does dilantin have a smaller retention time in reversed phase HPLC as compared to benzil?

My guess is that it is because Dilantin has two benzyl substituents on one carbon, adding steric hindrance. Second, the ring is very electron deficient, and so unstable. Benzil has less steric hindrance and is linear.


What stage of cellular respiration does not involve any carbon-based compounds as a reactant or product?

Photosynthesis comes in two stages, the first of which is light-dependent, while the second one is not. This second step takes the energy gained from the first step and uses it to create the sugars, the food for the plant.


How many electron rings does carbon have?

Carbon has 2 electron rings. The first electron ring can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second electron ring can hold up to 8 electrons. Carbon typically has 4 electrons, so it fills up the first electron ring and has 2 electrons in the second electron ring.


Why does selenium not have a second electron affinity?

Selenium does not have a second electron affinity because adding an additional electron to selenium would require more energy to overcome the repulsion between the negatively charged electron and the negatively charged selenium ion. In other words, the energy required to add a second electron to selenium is higher than the energy released in the process.
