Elements and Compounds

Questions about the properties and characteristics of elements as observed in nature and in compounds. Chemical formulas are also converted to and from symbols in covalent or ionic bonds. All the questions you want to ask about the elements and the compounds they form.

83,366 Questions

What is the atomic number of an atom of an element with 5 protons and 6 electrons?

Disregard the electrons, as their relative mass is insignificant to that of protons and neutrons. To find atomic mass, add the numbers of protons and neutrons: 5 + 6 = 11 is the mass number.

Why does the element gold have the symbol au?

'Au' is short for 'Aurum' , which is the Latin name for 'Gold'.

Similarly ; -

Ag ; Argentum ' Silver

Hg ; Hydragyrum 'Mercury'

Cu ; Cuprum . Copper

Na ; Nadium . Sodium

K ; Kalium ' Potassium

NB When science cannot give a modern name for something, it falls back on the Classical Languages.

What two compounds can iron form with chlorine?

Iron(II) chloride ; Ferrous chloride

Iron(III) chloride ; Ferric chloride.

It all depends on the oxidation state of iron.

What is the word equation for iron plus chlorine equals Iron chloride?

You have written the word eq'n for yourself.

Iron + Chlorine = Iron Chloride.

What is the compound name for C2H4Br2?

There are tqwo possibilities/ They are

  1. 1,1,-dibromo ethane ( CHB2-CH3 ) .

  2. 1,2- dibromo ethane ( CH2Br-CH2Br ).

What is the name compound for BaSO5?

No such compound as ' BaSO5 '.

If you mean ' BaSO4 '. it is barium sulphate.

What element is formed when hydrogen nuclei fuse together?

When hydrogen nuclei fuse together, they can form helium. This fusion process is the energy source for stars, including our sun, where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium through a series of nuclear reactions.

Do helium and hydrogen bond together?

NO!!!!

Helium is the MOST inert element, AND DOES NOT REACT WITH ANUTHIMG.

Are hydrogen oxygen and helium elements?

Yes, hydrogen, oxygen, and helium are elements. They are all pure substances made up of only one type of atom. Helium is the second lightest element, hydrogen is the lightest, and oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe.

Is iron a heterogeneous mixture?

No, Iron is a homogeneous mixture as long as the iron is pure

What is the symbol iron chloride?

Depends on the oxidation state of iron.

Iron(II) chloride ; FeCl2 ; Ferrous chloride

Iron(III) chloride ; FeCl3 ; Ferric Chloride.

How many nuetrons is in lithium?

The number of neutrons can vary, depending on the Atomic Mass.

For any given element the number of protons ALWAYS remains the same. The number of neutrons can vary ; this being an isotope.

So you can have lithium six ; Li-6 ' [6/3]Li

or

lithium seven ; Li-7 ; [7/3]Li

What is wrong with redox reaction 2Cl plus 2Br - Cl2 plus Br2?

The formula are incorrect, and the charges are NOT balanced.

The redox reaction is

Cl2 + 2Br^(-) = 2Cl^(-) + Br2

Remember the aide memoire, OILRIG.

OIL ; **Ox**idation Is Loss of electrons

RIG ; **Red**uction Is Gain of electrons.

RedOx is a reaction that occurs simultaneously. One component is reduced ,and the other component is oxidaised.

Above

Chlorine gas is Reduced. It has gained electrons, to form the chloride ion

The half eq'n is Cl2(g) + 2e^(-) = 2Cl^(-)

Simultaneously and 'vice versa'

The Bromide ion has been oxidised, lost electrons , to form elemental bromine.

The half eq'n is 2Br^(-) = Br2 + 2e^(-)

What are 2 common compounds that include oxygen?

Water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are two common compounds that include oxygen.

Are water and air common compounds?

They are both 'Common'.!!!!

Water is a compound

Air is a mixture.

Which acid and base react in the formation of salt sodium chloride?

Acid ; Hydrochloric Acid

Base ; Sodium hydroxide.

Here is the balanced chemical reaction.

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) = NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Do acids and metals react to make oxygen?

NO!!!

Here are the general acid reaction.

Acid + Base = Salt + Water

Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water

Acid + metal = Salt + Hydrogen

Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide.

NB In none of then is oxygen produced.

NNB The salt is a chemical salt of the form (MA) of which table salt is one. 'M' being the metal cation and 'A' acid anion.

What compound is formed when combining nitrogen and oxygen?

THere are several nitrogen/oxygen compounds.

Viz.,

NO2 ; Nitrogen dioxide (Oxid'n state 4)

NO ; Nitrogen monoxide (Oxid'n state 2)

N2O ; Nitrous oxide (Laughing gas). (Oxid'n state 1)

The different is in the oxidation state of nitrogen , as given alongside each.

Which of these is a compound water nitrogen oxygen or hydrogen?

Only WATER (H2O) .

Compounds are molecules that contain atoms of different elements.

Nitrogen (N2) , Oxygen(O2) and Hydrogen(H2) are molecules, but NOT compounds, because they only contain atoms of one element.

Is oxygen or water a compound?

Oxygen (O2) is a MOLECULE of two atoms of the element oxygen. It is found in the atmosphere.

Water(H2O) is a compound. It is a combination of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

NB A compound is a molecule that contains atoms of two or more different elements.

So both Water and Oxygen are molecules.

However, only water, in this case, is a compound.

Is hexane organic or inorganic compound?

Hexane is both Organic, an Hydrocarbon and an alkane.

Organic because it contains carbon. in the structure.

Hydrocarbon because it contains only atoms of the elements hydrogen and carbon.

An Alkane because it only has single bonds between carbon .

In the nomenclature (naming system) ' Hex' '6' carbons and '--ane' an alkane..

Structurally, hexane is ' CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 '.

Is the compound with the chemical formula C15H30 a member of the alkane series?

Yes, a compound with the chemical formula C15H30 would be a member of the alkane series. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2, where n represents the number of carbon atoms in the alkane molecule. In this case, n=7, so the compound falls into the alkane series.
