Chapter 2: Q. 2.6 P (page 81)

Explain the following statement: The smallest particles unique to a compound cannot be atoms.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Compounds are formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in specific ratios, so, the smallest particle of a compound which is capable of existing on its own is a Molecule, not an atom.

Step by step solution

01

Smallest particles unique to a compound

The smallest particle of a compound which is capable of existing on its own is a Molecule but not an atom while an atom is the smallest particle capable of existing on its own of an element.

02

Element made up of molecules  

Compounds are formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in specific ratios. Thus, these cannot have atoms as the smallest unique particles

Dinitrogen monoxide (N2O; nitrous oxide) is a greenhouse gas that enters the atmosphere principally from natural fertilizer breakdown. Some studies have shown that the isotope ratiosN15ofN14toand ofO18toO16inN2Odepending on the source, which can thus be determined by measuring the relative abundance of molecular masses in a sample ofN2O. (a) What different molecular masses are possible forN2O? (b) The percent abundance ofN14is 99.6%, and that ofO16is 99.8%. Which molecular mass ofN2Ois least common, and which is most common?
