12 Questions
What is the difference between an intensive and extensive physical property?
Intensive properties remain the same regardless of the amount of the substance, while extensive properties change with the amount.
What is the difference between a binary ionic compound and a ternary ionic compound?
A binary ionic compound contains a metal ion and a non-metal ion, while a ternary ionic compound contains at least one polyatomic ion.
What is the difference between formula mass and molecular mass?
Formula mass is the sum of the atomic masses of the elements in a compound, while molecular mass is the mass of a single molecule of the compound.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
The total number of atoms in a chemical reaction is always constant, and the mass remains constant as well.
What is the difference between a binary acid and a ternary acid?
A binary acid contains hydrogen and a non-metal, while a ternary acid contains hydrogen and a polyatomic ion.
