- What element am I? a) In my natural state I am a diatomic element. When I form an ionic compound, I am a negative ion and have one more electron than my number of protons. In my group and my period, I am the smallest element. b) My atomic number is 29 and I readily form +1 and +2 cations. c) Give the chemical formulas for the two ionic compounds that can be formed by the element in part a and the element in part b.arrow_forward1. Whenever chemists observed atoms reacting with each other, they noticed that the sum of their group numbers usually equaled eight, or multiples of 8 (16, 24, 32, 40, etc.). This is called The Rule of Eight. How does this Rule of Eight work in understanding chemical formulas?2. Chemical formulas are written to show how many atoms of each element are bonded together to make a molecule of a substance. For example, C6H12O6 is the chemical formula for one molecule of sugar.3. Look at water: H20. By looking at this formula, you know that it takes _____ hydrogen atom(s) to bond with _______ oxygen atom(s).4. Now, add the group numbers. Hydrogen has a group # of 1A. Oxygen has a group number of 6A. Two hydrogens (1 + 1) and one oxygen (6) equals a total of 8. The Rule of Eight!5. Try another simple one, table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl). The formula tells you that it takes ______ sodium atom(s) to bond to ______ chlorine atom(s).

A) Protons and neutrons have the same charge B) Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass C) Protons and electrons have opposite charges 11) To calculate the number of neutrons in an atom,…arrow_forwardA combustion reaction involves the reaction of a substance with oxygen gas. The complete combustion of any hydrocarbon (binary compound of carbon and hydrogen) produces carbon dioxide and water as the only products. Heptane is a hydrocarbon that is found in gasoline. Complete combustion of heptane produces 7 liters of carbon dioxide for every 8 liters of water vapor (both measured at the same temperature and pressure). What is the ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of heptane?arrow_forwardi need i) pleasearrow_forward

- Read: An Ion is a charged atom, # protons ≠ # electrons. On page three, paragraph one states, “The prefix poly- means many and atomic refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one atom. This differentiates polyatomic ions from monatomic ions, which contain only one atom.” Ions that contain only one atom are called monoatomic ions. Ions that contain more than one atom are called polyatomic ions. A monatomic ion is a single charged atom, with the number of protons not equal to the number of electrons. A polyatomic ion is a group of covalently-bonded atoms, with the total number of protons not equal to the total number of electrons.
