- What are structural isomers? | Socratic
Structural isomers are compounds of the same chemical formula but different connectivities Organic chemistry provides rich opportunity for structural isomerism Even for a simple hydrocarbon, say "butane",C_4H_10, two structural isomers may be drawn which have the same formula but different connectivities: viz "n-butane", H_3C-CH_2CH_2CH_3, and "isobutane, " H_3C-CH (CH_3)CH_3 These
- What state is ionic compound at room temperature? | Socratic
solid ionic compounds have a strong forces of attraction and their melting point is very high for example NaCl has a melting point of 801
- What is the formula of magnesium nitride, Mg_3N_2? | Socratic
Consider the typical valencies of magnesium metal and dinitrogen in their compounds Magnesium is a Group 2 metal with 2 valence electrons that can be oxidized: Mg rarr Mg^ (2+) + 2e^- Dinitrogen is a gaseous non-metal that can be reduced to N^ (3-): Each nitrogen ATOM has 5 valence electrons, and this configuration can be reduced to N^ (3-) 1 2N_2 (g) + 3e^ (-)rarrN^ (3-) Since typically non
- Site Map - Oxidation Numbers Questions and Videos | Socratic
How do you find an oxidation number of an element in a compound? How do you find oxidation numbers of complex ions? How do you find oxidation numbers of compounds? How do you find oxidation numbers of coordination compounds? How can you find oxidation numbers of transition metals? What is the oxidation number of Carbon in #Na_2C_2O_4#?
- What are some examples of ionic compounds? + Example - Socratic
Lets take the ionic formula for Calcium Chloride, CaCl_2 Calcium is an Alkaline Earth Metal in the second column of the periodic table This means that calcium has 2 valence electrons it readily gives away in order to seek the stability of the octet This makes calcium a Ca^(+2) cation Chlorine is a Halogen in the 17th column or p^5 group Chlorine has 7 valence electrons It needs one
- Why do some ionic compounds have some solubility in water . . . - Socratic
Ionic compounds are non-molecular; they do not have molecular boundaries Ionic compounds are non-molecular; they do not have molecular boundaries In the solid-state, each particle, each ion, is bound electrostatically to every other counterion in the lattice, and repelled by every ion of the same charge If you sum all these attractions and repulsions up (which can certainly be done
- Site Map - Ionic Compounds Questions and Videos | Socratic
How do ionic compounds conduct electricity in water? How do ionic compounds dissolve? Is it possible to distinguish between ionic and molecular compounds in terms of the basic units that each is composed of? Can you explain the formation of an ionic compound from zinc and chlorine?
- Question #5fed7 + Example - Socratic
Compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are organic In living things, organic compounds are often called biomolecules, but they are still organic Carbon and hydrogen are found in all organic compounds and are called hydrocarbons However, sometimes the hydrogen atoms are replaced by atoms of other elements For example, methane, "CH"_4, can react with chlorine and produce carbon
