Can a element be broken down into compounds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You misunderstand!!!! a compound is broken down into its elemental atoms.

Which compound is made of atoms joined by covalent bonds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are millions of covalently combined compounds.

However, the two simplest are water and carbon dioxide.

Often represented by Water (H2O) ; H-O-H , and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ; O=C=O

The lines between each atoms indicate the number of COVALENT bonds formed between atoms.

Do all elements consist of molecules?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You misunderstand, and have your thinking the wrong way about.

It is ' All molecules consist of elements.

The water molecule consists of the two elemental atoms oxygen and hydrogen. However, the water molecule has the formula 'H2O'. It consists of ONE elemental atom of oxxygen and TWO elemental atoms of hydrogen .

Carbon dioxide molecules consist of two elemental atoms oxygen and carbon.

However, the carbon dioxide molecule has the formula 'CO2'. It consists of ONE elemental atom of carbon and TWO elemental atoms of oxygen .

An ATOM is the smallest indivisible particle

An ELEMENT is a group of atoms of the same type ( tyhat can be 'held'.

A MOLECULE is a group of atoms, of the same or different elements, that have combined together. e.g. Oxygen (O2) , water (H2O) etc.,

How is the cation Ion formed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A CATION is a positively charged ion . e.g. Na^(+)

The sodium metal has IONISED by losing one electron to form the CATION. (Na^(+)).

Similarly calcium metal ionises by losing two electrons to form the CATION Ca^(2+).

NB An ANION is a NEGATIVELY charged ion e.g. Cl^(-)

Cations and Anions are collectively known as 'Ions'.

So your statement 'Cation ion' is incorrect. You just need the word 'cation'.

Does Copper Chloride produce a blue-green or Red flame?

User Avatar

Asked by Vickness

In a flame test the copper ions in copper chloride will produce a 'blue/green' flame.

To test for metal ions, the flame colour in a flame test is indicative of the metal present.

Lithium = Red

Sodium = Yellow

Potassium = Lilac (pale purple).

There are many more flame test colours.

What is the name given to the family of elements containing chlorine and fluorine?

Does iodine water react with potassium fluoride?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, iodine (I₂) can react with potassium fluoride (KF). The reaction between iodine and potassium fluoride typically involves the displacement of fluorine in potassium fluoride by iodine. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

[I_2 + 2KF \rightarrow 2KI + F_2]

In this reaction, iodine displaces fluorine in potassium fluoride, forming potassium iodide (KI) and elemental fluorine (F₂). It's worth noting that the reaction conditions, such as temperature and solvent, can influence the reaction kinetics and outcomes.

Where is the carbon in chalk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Blackboard chalk contains no carbon, being composed mainly of gypsum, its chemical formula being CaSO4·2H2O.

Neither does chalk, a soft, white, porous sedimentary rock, is a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite, the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Is hydrogen carbonate soluble?

'Hydrogen Carbonate???? Do you mean Carbonic Acid . (H2CO3) or a Bi-carbonate such as sodium bi-carbonate. )NaHCO3)

What is the source of the earths oxygen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Green plant life.

Carbon dioxide in absorbed by green plant leaf. It undergoes photosynthesis in the plant; the oxygen is released back into the atmosphere and the carbon is retained in the plant as biomass.

It is part of the Carbon / Oxygen cycle.

Is Cerium Oxide Ferrous or Non-Ferrous?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Definitely NOE-FERROUS.

The word 'ferrous/ferric' is the Latin based adjective for IRON. (Ferrum).

Since there is no iron present in cerium oxide then it is non-ferrous.

What color is the blood that is lacking on oxygen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Its RED .

Thered comes from the fact the blood molecule has an iron (III) [Fe^(3+] ion at its centre.

The ion 'Iron (III) is RED in colour.

In the lab. look at the colour of iron(III) chloride and iron(II) chloride.

Iron (III) chloride is red/brown in colour and iron(II) chloride is green in colour.

A chemistry student writes the molecular formula for sodium phosphate as Na3P1O4. Although this version of the formula is acceptable how is the formula more typically written?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Na3P1O4 is usually written as Na3PO4

Note the '1' is missing / not written.

NNB For all chemical formulae if there is only ONE atom present in the formula, then the '1' is NOT written.

e.g. H2O ; only ONE oxygen

e.g. CO2 ; only ONE carbon.

Asked by Wiki User

The chemical symbol for the element, chromiun is 'Cr'.

How could you make sodium chloride conduct electricity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sodium chloride is an inorganic crystalline ionic compound.

It is formed by the ions Na^(+) & Cl^(-).

When SOLID these ions are held tightly in a crystalline lattice. So does NOT conduct electricity .

However, when liquid or in aqueous solution the crystalline lattice breaks down and the ions are free to move. So when a potential difference (electricity) is put across these ions , they will move. The positive ions will move towards the negative point and conversely the negative ions will move to wards the positive point. Hence an electrical circuit is made.

It is quite easy to dissolve sodium chloride in water to make an aqueous solution.. Electricity is conducted.

#However, the melting point of sodium chloride is very high , so in a school lab. you will not be able to reach a high enough temperature to make the crystals melt. (solid to liquid).

So for simplicity, just dissolve some sodium chloride (salt) in water and it will conduct electricity.

The name of the gas given when magnesium reacts with acid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hydrogen (H2)

This reaction follows the general formula for acid/metal reactuo0ns.

Acis + Metal =- Salt + hydrogen .

Here is the Balance reaction eq'n

2HCl(aq) + Mg(s) = MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

H2SO4(aq) + Mg(s) = MgSO4(aq) + H2(g)

2HNO3(aq) + Mg(s) = Mg(NO3)2(aq) + H2(g)
