Using the example of water being H2O or dihydrogen monoxide what is the chemical name for tea?
There is no chemical name for tea as it is a mixture of many different chemicals.
Is the formula name for water hydroxide?
No, hydroxide is the name for the OH- ion. Water is almost universally called "water" or the equivalent in the local language. Once in a great while it might be referred to as "hydrogen oxide" or some variant on that (dihydrogen monoxide, hydronium hydroxide, etc.) but this is generally used only in a joking manner. For example, there's an article you could probably find online about the "dangers" of dihydrogen monoxide, including such things as "DHMO is highly addictive; withdrawal symptoms include dryness of the mouth, severe thirst, dehydration and ultimately death in 100% of cases."
How are covalent compounds named?
Covalent compounds are named by first looking at how many atoms the first element in a molecule has. We'll use H2O as an example (although it is commonly known as water). Since the H contributes two atoms to the molecule it has the prefix di-. If it had one it would be mono-, three, tri-, etc. The second element also follows that same rule, however, the ending is changed as well. In the case of oxygen, the -ygen is taken off and replaced by -ide. Therefore, the molecule H2O is also known as dihydrogen oxide.
Oxygen is an example of?
oxygen o2 is example of what is it a molecule
Is CO is an example of green house gases?
No, carbon monoxide is a pollutant and poisonous, but is not a green house gas.
Carbon dioxide with its two double bonds is an example of a nonpolar molecule.?
true
Is F2 an example of a nonpolar molecule?
yep it is
What are 10 misconceptions of dihydrogen monoxyde?
Dihydrogen monoxide is a joke name for water, and there are lots of stories about its assumed dangers - mentioning facts that are true, but misleading. For example, that it is the main ingredient of acid rain.
Using the example of water being H2O or dihydrogen monoxide what is the chemical name for tea?
There is no chemical name for tea as it is a mixture of many different chemicals.
What is monohydrogen?
A monohydrogen is compound that contains one hydrogen. For example HPO2-ion is the formula for monohydrogen phosphate and water is at times referred to as dihydrogen monoxide.
What is dihydrogenmonoxide?
Dihydrogen monoxide is a sure sign that someone is pulling your leg. It's most commonly seen in a hoax listing the negative effects of water ("Submersion in dihydrogen monoxide for periods as short as 5 minutes was fatal in 100% of test subjects" is one example), and then asking people to protect against this dangerous substance.
Carbon dioxide with its two double bonds is an example of an nonpolar molecule.?
true
Can polar molecules have non polar bonds and still be polar?
I can't see how.Note that the opposite is a different story: it is possible for a molecule to be nonpolar despite having no bonds that are not polar. For example, consider CCl4, which is nonpolar due to its geometry despite the individual C-Cl bonds each having a substantial polarity.
Is a diatomic molecule more likely to be held together by a covalent bond or ionic bond?
diatomic molecules are made up of two atoms. These two atoms can either be the same of different chemical elements. Depending on what elements are in place well that depends on what kind of bonding. For example in class i learned that a homo-nuclear diatomic molecule is non-polar and covalent.
An example of an inorganic molecule?
Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, sodium chloride, ammonia, carbon monoxide, calcium phosphate etc
Is ice organic or inorganic?
Polarity of a molecule is not related to whether or not a molecule is organic or inorganic. A polar molecule is a molecule that has a slightly negative charge on one portion and a slightly positive charge on another portion; a nonpolar molecule is a molecule that is balanced and neutral throughout. An example of a polar inorganic molecule is water (H2O) - there is a slight positive charge on each of the hydrogen atoms and a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom. An example of a nonpolar inorganic molecule is carbon dioxide (CO2) - this molecule is neutral throughout. An example of a polar organic molecule is isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) - there is a slight negative charge around the hydroxyl group. An example of a nonpolar organic molecule is octane (one of the components of gasoline) - this molecule is neutral throughout.
What is the scientific name for mouth wash?
There isn't a "scientific name" because mouth wash isn't an organism. You're looking for the chemical makeup (example: Baking soda is called "Sodium Bicarbonate", and water is called "dihydrogen monoxide.")
