AI Thread Summary
Aluminum has a positive 3 charge, while chlorine has a negative 1 charge, resulting in the compound AlCl3 due to charge balance. Silicon has a positive 4 charge, but neon is a noble gas with a neutral charge and does not react. Therefore, no compound can be formed between silicon and neon. The discussion emphasizes that noble gases do not participate in chemical reactions, making such equations non-existent. Understanding charge interactions is crucial for predicting compound formation.

If aluminum has a positive 3 charge and chlorine has a negative 1 charge, then the formula becomes AlCl3, because the negative three in chlorine would balance out the positive 3 in aluminum right? So, what about this? Silion has a positive 4 charge. and neon has a neutral charge. What would the compound be?

What is a neutral charge?
 
You posted this exact question already. If the previous discussion doesn't satisfy you, look for answers on Google or ask your paid instructor/teacher.
 
nothing happens, they are noble gases meaning they wouldn't react period. So your equations would never really exist

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
