EXPERIMENT 6 – Empirical Formula of a Compound INTRODUCTION Chemical formulas indicate the composition of compounds. A formula that gives only the simplest ratio of the relative number of atoms in a compound is the empirical formula or simplest formula. The ratio usually consists of small whole numbers. We call a formula that gives the actual numbers of each type of atom in a compound the molecular formula. The numbers in a molecular formula will be whole number multiples of the numbers in an empirical

Metallic Bonding Metallic Bonding Why do metals conduct electricity? Metals conduct electricity. The delocalised electrons are free to move throughout the structure in 3-dimensions. They can cross grain boundaries. Even though the pattern may be disrupted at the boundary‚ as long as atoms are touching each other‚ the metallic bond is still present. Liquid metals also conduct electricity‚ showing that although the metal atoms may be free to move‚ the delocalisation remains in force until the

Ionic bonding is known as a type of chemical bond where the valence electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another. This exchange results in a more from one atom and gained by another. When an atom gains or loses electrons while being bonded with another atom an ion is formed. This bond causes an atom to become either a positive or negative ion. Electrons have a negative charge‚ meaning that if an atom loses an electron‚ the amount of protons are greater than electrons. This makes the atom

Jessica Robins Lab 3: Properties of Organic Compounds Introduction Distillation is a physical process used to separate chemicals from a mixture by how easy they vaporize. The temperature rises unit it reaches the temperature of the lowest boiling substance in the mixture while the other contents of the mixture remain in their original phase (until the most volatile substance has all boiled off) as it’s heated. Hot vapor results and passes into a condenser and is then converted to a liquid

and Net Ionic Equation Going back to our first concept or topic‚ we’ve learn how to identify the Oxidizing and Reducing agent and the Oxidation as well as the Reduction. In this part of the Redox reaction or in this step‚ it is very important that you already know the Oxidizing and Reducing agent for us to find the half reaction. In this step or part‚ we will also learn how to balance using the addition of electrons in both sides if necessary. After this step we can now write the net ionic equation

Physics 1003 Experiment Report In this experiment‚ the technician began with the demonstration of solar energy. Solar energy is the conversion of light energy to electrical energy by using solar panels. Solar panels are devices that contained solar module which use light energy from light to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. And photovoltaic modules generate electricity from a frequency of light. From my observation of the experiment‚ I found that the panel is black in

IONIC COMPOUNDS In chemistry‚ an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. Usually‚ the positively charged portion consists of metal cations and the negatively charged portion is an anion or polyatomic ion. Ions in ionic compounds are held together by the electrostatic forcesbetween oppositely charged bodies. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points‚ and they are hard and very brittle. Ions can be single atoms‚ as the sodium and chlorine in
