Answer:
do you still need this answer?
Explanation:
The image represents A COMPOUND because the molecules are BONDED CHEMICALLY.
A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements combine together chemically. In the process of chemical combination, the chemical bonds that were present in the participating elements will be broken and new chemical bonds will be formed in the product.
In balancing reactions, the number of atoms on each side should be of equal number. It is the most important rule in reactions. Also, we should know the correct substances involved in the reaction. We do as follows:
2K + MgBr2 = 2KBr + Mg
<u>Answer:</u> The element represented by M is Strontium.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let us consider the molar mass of metal be 'x'.
The molar mass of MO will be = Molar mass of oxygen + Molar mass of metal = (16 + x)g/mol
It is given in the question that 15.44% of oxygen is present in metal oxide. So, the equation becomes:
The metal atom having molar mass as 87.62/mol is Strontium.
Hence, the element represented by M is Strontium.
