What is Si2Br?
You have described a fictitious chemical. When silicon combines with bromine it forms SiBr4 which is silicon tetrabromide. It does not combine in the ratio that your formula gives (which could be called disilicon bromide).
Who first recognized that the ratio of the number of atoms is the same as the ratio of the masses that combine?
The first person to recognize the total ratio of the number atoms is the same as the total ratio of the ratio of the mass is JOHN DALTON.This is also called the "Law of Multiple Proportion"
What mass of sodium chloride is produced if 92.0 g of sodium reacts with excess chlorine?
Sodium has an atomic weight of 22.99 g/mol. Chlorine has an atomic weight of 35.45 g/mol. NaCl has an atomic weight of 58.44 g/mol. Therefore 92g of sodium would yield 233.86g of sodium chloride (NaCl).
What are formula units?
A formula unit in chemistry is the empirical formulaof any ionic or covalent network solid compound used as an independent entity for stoichiometric calculations. It is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound.
What is the simplest part of a compound?
The simplest form for a compound, called the empirical formula, gives the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in the compound, and may differ from the actual molecular formula. For example, the molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. The empirical formula would be CH2O, which can be found by dividing the molecular subscripts by 6.
What other elements can beryllium combine with?
Beryllium (Be) will combine in a 1-1 ratio with elements from group 16. It will combine in a 1-2 ratio with elements from group 17 (the halogens.) It will combine in a 3-2 ratio with elements from group 15. Examples: beryllium oxide - BeO; beryllium chloride - BeCl2; beryllium nitride - Be3N2.
What is the ratio of sodium to chloride in sodium chloride?
The atomic ratio between sodium and chlorine in sodium chloride is 1:1, as indicated by its formula NaCl. If the mass ratio is wanted, it is that of the atomic weights of the two elements.
A notion that shows what elements a compound contains and the ratio of the atoms or ions of these elements in the compound?
A chemical formula shows what elements a compound contains, and the ratio of the atoms or ions of the elements in the compound.
What is the ratio of sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride has a 1 to 1 ratio of its constituent atoms, sodium and chlorine. Sodium chloride, table salt, is a two-atom molecule. One atom of sodium is bonded to one atom of chlorine. The two atoms have combine to make a molecule of salt in a one-to-one ratio.
Shows the ratio of elements in a compound?
The chemical formula of the compound shows the ratio of the atoms of elements in a compound. This must not be confused with the ratio of their masses.
Represents a compound -how are the elements in the compound and the ratio of atoms?
Example: potassium chloride, KCl Elements in the molecule: potassium and chloride Ratio potassium/chlorine: 1
If chlorine can accept 1 Calcium and chlorine atoms combine in the ratio of what atoms to 1 what atom?
Ca + Cl2 --> CaCl2 or Ca2+ + 2 Cl- --> CaCl2
When two or more elements combine in a fixed ratio then what is the resultant product called?
compound
Who proposed the theory that the elements in a compound always combine in the same fixed ratio?
Dalton
What is the combination of symbols that shows the ratio of elements in a compound?
The ratio is called the chemical formula. Naming these compounds is called nomencalture. Example: NaCl sodium (Na) has a +1 charge and chlorine (Cl) has a -1 charge the charges cancel out and therefore the ratio is one to one Another Example: MgCl2 magnesium (Mg) has a charge of +2 and chlorine (Cl) has a charge of -1. It takes two chlorines to cancel out one magnesium so the ratio is one to two.
Which formula of a compound has the smallest whole-number mole ratio of elements?
the empirical formula
Why do chemists write the formula for sodium chloride as NaCl?
Sodium chloride is NaCl because sodium (Na) forms the positive ion and chlorine (Cl) forms the negative ion and the two combine in a 1:1 ratio.
