Interpretation:
Amongst the following substances, the substances which are binary substances, a triatomic molecule, a diatomic molecule, molecular substances, ionic molecule and in which do we find only electron sharing and only attractions between ions, are to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
A binary compound is a chemical substance that consists of two elements.
Triatomic molecules are the molecules that are composed of only three atoms. There are homogeneous as well as heterogeneous triatomic molecules.
Electron sharing is the sharing of valence electron between two or more elements.
Diatomic molecules are molecules that are composed of only two atoms. Both the elements may either be same or different, that is, homogeneous and heterogeneous diatomic molecules.
Attraction between ions is the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions formed from the elements after losing or gaining one or two pairs of electrons.
Molecular compounds are compounds that consist of two non-metals atoms.
Ionic compounds are compounds that consist of metal and non-metal atoms.

Could you weigh out this amount of nickel using a typical laboratory balance? (c) Taking the density of nickel metal to be 8.91 g/cm, calculate the mass of metal needed to form a piece of Ni wire with the same length as the distance in b, but with a diameter of 1.00 mm. Hint: The volume of a cylinder is n times its radius squared times its height. (V = nr h) How many nickel atoms does this represent? atomsarrow_forward1.Which of the following statements about a compound is incorrect? (a) A molecule of a compound has atoms of different elements. (b) A compound cannot be separated into its constituent elements by physical methods of separation. (c) A compound retains the physical properties of its constituent elements. (d) The ratio of atoms of different elements in a compound is fixed. Which of the following statements is correct about the reaction given below? 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 (a) Total mass of iron and oxygen in reactants = total mass of iron and oxygen in product therefore it follows law of conservation of mass.
