Interpretation:
Each substance along with the corresponding view is to be examined and each substance is to be classified as an atomic element, molecular element, molecular compound or an ionic compound.
Concept introduction:
Atomic element comprises of only one type of atoms. Therefore, single atoms are the basic units of an atomic element. For example: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium all exist as atomic elements.
Molecular element exists as diatomic molecules in which two atoms of the same element are bonded together. For example: hydrogen exists as
Molecular compounds are compounds of two or more nonmetals. Molecules are the basic units of molecular compounds. For example: ammonia,
Ionic compounds are made up of cations (formed by metal) and anions (formed by nonmetal). In ionic compounds, cations and anions are arranged in an alternating three-dimensional array.

- Explain the termselement, afoul, and compound. Provide an example and microscopic drawing of each.arrow_forwardClassify each compound as ionic or molecular: a.KClb.CO2c.N2Od.NaNO3arrow_forwardA jar contains some number of jelly beans. To find out precisely how many are in the jar, you could dump them out and count them. How could you estimate their number without counting each one? (Chemists need to do just this kind of bean counting when they work with atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules are too small to count one by one, so chemists have worked out other methods to determine the number of atoms in a sample.)arrow_forward
- Table 4 shows data from an experiment to determine the formulas of hydrated barium chloride. Determine the formula for the hydrate and its name.arrow_forwardThese questions concern the work of J. J. Thomson: From Thomson’s work, which particles do you think he would feel are most important in the formation of compounds (chemical changes) and why? Of the remaining two subatomic particles, which do you place second in importance for forming compounds and why? Come up with three models that explain Thomson’s findings and evaluate them. To be complete you should include Thomson’s findings.arrow_forwardConsider the chemical reaction as depicted below. Label as much as you can using the terms atom, molecule, element, compound, ionic, gas, and solid.arrow_forward
