- 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
- I need help understanding this question. I know that is NOT . . . - Socratic
a True All organic compounds contain at least one C-H bond (though the H atom (s) can be replaced by another element; for example CH4 can become CCl4) CO and CO2 are not organic because they do not contain hydrogen b True The elements that compose organic compounds are covalently bonded c True As you indicated, organic molecules in living systems include carbohydrates, lipids
- 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
- 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
- 6-10. What are the name of the following compounds? a. Ca . . . - Socratic
a calcium hydroxide b iron (II) hydroxide c zinc hydroxide Generally, "OH" adds "hydroxide" to an inorganic compound's name Moreover, element names aren't capitalized unless at the beginning of a sentence We write iron(II) hydroxide instead of just iron hydroxide as iron takes the form of its +2 oxidation state, out of its 10 oxidation states
- Why is water such a good solvent for dissolving ionic solids?
Because water is a solvent that is capable of solvating cations, and to a lesser extents anions Of course, not all ionic compounds are soluble in water Especially, with dications, or dianions, phosphates, and carbonates, and oxides etc , and here we observe that the electrostatic force of attraction SHOULD be greater given Coulomb's law Water is a dipolar, protic solvent, that is capable

What is the use of iso, sec tert in IUPAC naming of organic compounds? Organic Chemistry Nomenclature Introduction to IUPAC Nomenclature
- Question #52cc0 - Socratic
Sulfur dibromide A covalent compound is formed when two or more atoms share electrons located in their outermost shells, i e valence electrons, to gain stability Covalent compounds are formed between elements that have relatively similar electronegativities, which implies that the bonding electrons each atom uses are shared in a relatively equal manner Nonmetals are the only elements
