Chemistry: Atoms First - With Access
- The “Chemistry in Focus” segment Sugar of Lead discusses Pb(C2H3O2)2 , which originally was known as sugar of lead. Why was it called sugar of lead? What is the systematic name for Pb(C2H3O2)2? Why is it necessary to have a system for the naming of chemical compounds?arrow_forwardContrast the two general types of chemical compounds in terms of their general physical properties.arrow_forwardWrite a formula for each of the following compounds:(a) Ethylene glycol, car antifreeze, consists of two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms.(b) Peroxodisulfuric acid, a compound used to make bleaching agents, consists of two hydrogen atoms, two sulfur atoms, and eight oxygen atoms.arrow_forward
