AI Thread Summary
Three statements are identified as correct: A, C, and E. A defines water as a compound that exists as molecules at room temperature, C states that nitrogen exists as diatomic molecules, and E classifies oxygen gas as a compound composed of molecules at room temperature. The discussion clarifies that a molecule consists of two or more atoms bonded together, while a compound specifically consists of atoms from two or more different elements. Additionally, a compound requires a fixed ratio to determine its composition, distinguishing it from a mixture. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these definitions in chemistry.

Only 3 statements are correct.
A.) Water is a compound and exist as molecules at rtp.
B.) Magnesium chloride is a molecule but not a compound.
C.) At rtp, nitrogen exist as diatomic molecules.
D.) Rubidium Oxide is a compound but not considered a molecule.
E.) Oxygen gas is classified as a compound as it is composed of molecules at rtp.

pick out 3 correct statements. i pick A, C and E.
am i correct?

what's the different between compound and molecule?

thanks lotsa.:smile:

Yes, you are correct.

What do think the difference is? How do you define a compound? How do you define a molecule?
 
molecule is two or more atom together.
then, compound is consist of atoms of two or more different elements?

Yes, two or more atoms chemically bonded together
compound is consist of atoms of two or more different elements?
This is the defintion of a mixture, to make it the defintion of a compound to need to add the words "with a fixed ratio determining the composition"
 
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...
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...
