a.
To determine:
The element which is more likely to be a metal out of the given elements E and X.
Introduction:
Atoms consist of three subatomic particles namely proton, electron, and neutron. Out of these subatomic particles only electrons are involved in bonding. The formation of a bond between two species is always due to the involvement of electrons. It either undergoes loss of electrons or gains electrons in order to complete the outermost shell of electrons.
b.
To determine:
The element which is more likely to be a nonmetal out of the given element E and X.
Introduction:
Atoms consist of three subatomic particles namely proton, electron, and neutron. Out of these subatomic particles only electrons are involved in bonding. The formation of a bond between two species is always due to the involvement of electrons. It either undergoes loss of electrons or gains electrons in order to complete the outermost shell of electrons.
c.
To determine:
The formula of the compound formed from elements E and X.

- Decide which element probably forms a compound with hydrogen that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical formula of the compound formed by hydrogen and oxygen.arrow_forward1. Determine the sum of the group numbers for the atoms in each of the molecules below and see if your answer still agrees with the Rule of Eight.MoleculeSum of Group #'sRule of 8?NH3 (ammonia)CaCl2 (calcium chloride)Al2O3 (aluminum oxide)2. Use the Rule of Eight to write a chemical formula by determining how many atoms of one element would be necessary to combine with how many atoms of another element to form a particular molecule. (Fill in the subscript for each product.) You should be able to do any molecule I give to you in the future.1 Mg + ______Cl MgCl___ (magnesium chloride)2 H + 1 S + ____ O H2SO___ (sulfuric acid)1 C + ___ H CH ___ (methane)2 H + ___ O + 1 C H2CO___ (carbonic acid)In Conclusion, chemists explain this Rule of Eight phenomenon by saying that all atoms (except for the inert gases) have incomplete outer electron shells. When atoms react with each other, each atom ends up with a complete outer shell of 8 electrons. They call this principle,…arrow_forwardClassify each compound as ionic or molecular.
