Consider the hypothetical atom x. if the molecular formula for calcium nitrate is ca(no3)2 and the formula of x chloride is xcl2. what is the molecular formula for x nitrate

Respuesta :

X(N03)2

Given: Consider a hypothetical atom x

molecular formula of calcium nitrate = Ca(NO3)2

formula of x chloride is xcl2

molecular formula for x nitrate = ?

  • we are first putting calcium with chloride
  • on checking calcium on the periodic table we observe it in group 2
  • so calcium has two plus charge
  • whereas chloride being a halogen it is observed in group 7
  • it forms ion with one negative charge which would become CaCl2
  • so if we have Ca(NO3)2 and see a Cl2
  • with our hypothetical atom x , if the formula of x with chloride as XCl2 then formula with the nitrate is going to be x
  • this will be similar to calcium because calcium is just like it when we look at calcium with chloride
  • hence when x goes with nitrate it is going to look just like the formula for calcium nitrate
  • this gives us the final answer to be X(NO3)2
