What else can I help you with?
What consists of two nonmetal atoms bonded together?
Usually that's a covalent compound, and the representative particle is called a molecule.
What is a representative of a molecule?
A molecule is the representative particle of a molecular compound. Molecules don't have representative particles, they are one.
What non-metals can be bonded with metals to make salt?
The two elements that make the compound "salt", are sodium (metal) and chloride (non-metal). These two elements are bonded together to create sodium chloride as we call it "salt". Sodium particle-> O + O <-Chloride particle = Sodium chloride (salt).
What is the representative particle of potassium?
A representative particle is thought of as the smallest unit into which a substance may be divided without changing its composition. Some examples might be helpful. For a given chemical element, it's an atom. An atom of carbon is the smallest unit of carbon one can find.For covalently bonded compounds & diatomic molecules, the representative particle is a molecule. For example, an atom of hydrogen and an atom chlorine covalently bond to make a molecule of hydrochloric acid (HCl), and that's the smallest unit of this compound that there is. Because a molecule is a group of 2 or more atoms covalently bonded together, the smallest particles of ionic compounds are the respective ions. For example the smallest particle of the ionic compound sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt) is a sodium ion (Na+) and a chlorine ion (Cl-).There is a "scaled up" application in physics and engineering, and it might apply to something like a grain of wheat being the representative particle of that grain crop. A kernel of corn might be the representative particle for that grain crop. A grain of salt might be the representative particle for granular salt as a market commodity. These are important because of considerations regarding density and "close packing" and "voids" in bulk quantities of each commodity. There are more examples of the application of the term if one looks.A given size granule of an aggregate might be the representative particle for analysis in something like moisture penetration in sand, small pebbles, or chunks of rock.On the other end of the scale, there are representative particles for certain applications in the physics lab where something like the characteristics of a particle beam may be under consideration. A certain particle of given mass and energy might be the representative particle for, say, the study of particle beam divergence.Most applications for the student will be in chemistry, and that's where the atom, molecule or, possibly, the ion, will be shown to be the representative particles of an element, a compound, or an electrolytic solution respectively.
Molecules are what type of particle?
Molecule is formed from two or more combined atoms.
What consists of two nonmetal atoms bonded together?
Usually that's a covalent compound, and the representative particle is called a molecule.
What is the term for a particle composed of two or more non metal atoms?
A substance composed of two or more atoms of the same element is just a pure substance/element, a substance composed of different atoms is called a compound
What is a representative of a molecule?
A molecule is the representative particle of a molecular compound. Molecules don't have representative particles, they are one.
What is the smallest representative particle for a compound like H2O?
The smallest representative particle for a compound like H2O (water) is a molecule, which consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.
Which compound does not contain moleculs?
Ionic compounds do not contain molecules. The representative particle of an ionic compound is called a formula unit. Molecules are the representative particles of a covalent compound.
What is the representative unit in a molecular compound?
The representative unit in a molecular compound is a molecule, which consists of two or more atoms bonded together. This unit represents the smallest particle of the compound that retains the chemical properties of the substance.
What is the representative particle for Iodine?
The representative particle for iodine is the iodine atom (I).
When charged ions unite do they form molecules?
No, they do not. When charged atoms, or ions, unite in an ionic bond, they form what is called a "formula unit," which is the smallest representative particle of an ionic compound. A molecule is the smallest representative particle of a covalent compound, which involves another type of bonding where electrons are shared rather than transferred.
How are molecules and atoms similar?
They're similar in that they're both representative particles. However, their key difference lies in the fact that an atom is an representative particle of an element, and a molecule is a representative particle of a molecular, or covalently bonded compound.
What is a single particle of a compound?
A single particle of a compound is known as a molecule. It consists of two or more atoms chemically bonded together. For example, a water molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom bonded together.
What non-metals can be bonded with metals to make salt?
The two elements that make the compound "salt", are sodium (metal) and chloride (non-metal). These two elements are bonded together to create sodium chloride as we call it "salt". Sodium particle-> O + O <-Chloride particle = Sodium chloride (salt).
