How many atoms in NO?
The ratio of nitrogen (N) to oxygen (O) are1:1 in NO (nitric oxide)1:2 in NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)2:1 in N2O (nitrous oxide)2:3 in N2O3 (dinitrogen trioxide)
What is the ratio of potassium atoms to nitrogen?
The chemical formula of potassium nitride is K3N. The ratio potassium atoms/nitrogen atoms is 3.
Contains two or more elements in a fixed ratio?
A chemical compound that has a set number of atoms for each element. E.g. water H2O has the fixed ratio of 2:1, that is 2 hydrogen atoms to 1 oxygen atom, carbon dioxide CO2 has a fixed ratio of 1:2 (1 carbon atom to 2 oxygen atoms). It has to be fixed as if it isn't it makes a new compound/chemical.
What is the ratio of sodium atoms to chlorine atoms?
2:4
What is the ratio phosphorus atoms to oxygen atoms in the compound?
3 of the compound
What does the formula SiO2 tell you about silicon dioxide?
It tells that silicon dioxide is composed of two different elements (Silicon and Oxygen) in a 1 to 2 atomic ratio ( Si1O2 ).
Is quartz sio2?
The chemical formula for Quartz is SiO2. Each molecule contains two oxygen atoms and one silicon atom. It is the second most common mineral in the Earth's crust.
Why is silicon dioxide a compound where as diamond is an element Explain?
Diamond consists of only one element (carbon). Whereas Silicon dioxide consists of two different elements (silicon and oxygen) that are chemically bonded in a fixed ratio. Hence Diamond is an element and Silicon dioxide is an compound.
What is the ratio of atoms in carbon dioxide or C02?
The ratio oxygen/carbon is of course 2.
What is the ratio of atoms in carbon dixide?
A chemical formula shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of atoms. For example, the chemicals formula for carbon dioxide is CO2 . In the carbon dioxide, there are always two oxygen atoms to every one carbon atom.
What is the empirical formula for a molecule containing 46.8 Si and 53 O?
This compound is silicon dioxide - SiO2.
Does the ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms remain constant?
In Silica, Yes, 4:1 (Tetrahedral structural unit of silica ) [SiO2 ]
Does sand contain iron?
No sand is the polymetric form of silcon dioxide (SiO2). There are also theories that for every milloin silicon atoms or so maybe more i'm not 100% of the exact ratio, the silicon atom is replaced with a Xenon atom, which explains the unusually low concentration of xenon in the atmosphere
What type of bonding is in quartz?
Each silicon atom can bond to four oxygen atoms, and this gives rise to a giant covalent network structure in which each Si is bonded to four oxygens and each O to two silicon atoms. Again, the bonding between the atoms goes on and on in three dimensions. This results in a 1:2 ratio between Si and O atoms.In other words,Quartz is SiO2.. and since Silicon is a metalloid therefore it has 4 electrons in its outer most shell.The chemical bonds in silica are covalent. The basic building block of quartz is SiO4 unit.Structure:.|O|- | -.O-Si-O.- | -|O|
What is the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to carbon atoms in the graphite oxide?
The ratio (as atoms) carbon/oxigen in graphitic oxides is between 2,1 and 2,9.
What is the carbon dioxide ratio?
It is 1 carbon atom to every two oxygen atoms. I'm no maths whizz, but if carbon dioxide is CO2, then that must be it.
What is the ratio of kinds of elements present in SO2?
In one molecule of sulfur dioxide, there is one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms. This is simply a ratio of 1 sulfur atom : 2 oxygen atoms or 1:2.
