Question

Plz help thx...

Choose one of the compounds from the table and explain how you know the numbers of atoms in your formula.


Is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? Why or why not? With a limited number of elements (less than 120 are known), does this mean we also have a small number of compounds or do we have a large number of compounds in this world?

Answer 1

salt

Step-by-step explanation:

sodium chloride. 1 sodium atom and one hydrogen atom.

It is possible because there could be more atoms, making it more or less reactant.

Answer 2

1) For example, sodium oxide (Na₂O).

One one molecule of sodium oxide has one sodium atome (Na) and two oxygen atoms (O).

The subscript after element shows the number of elements in a molecule.

2) Yes, it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements.

This are isomers, same molecular formula, but different arrangements of atoms.

For example, n-butane (C₄H₁₀) and 2-methylpropane (C₄H₁₀).

3) There are large number of compounds in this world, around 40 millions.
