Interpretation Introduction To write: The formula for the given molecular compounds. Explanation Molecular compound: A binary molecular compound contains two elements that are both non-metals. In these types of compounds, the combinations of atoms have a noble gas arrangement of electrons by sharing of electrons. Thus, the type of bond is covalent in these compounds. While naming a molecular compound, the first non-metal in the molecular formula is named first as its simple element name followed by the name of second non-metal using the first syllable of that non-metal and suffix ide. a. The symbol for silicon is Si and that of oxygen is O, Silicon dioxide means two oxygen atoms are combined with one silicon atom. Moreover, stable oxidation state of silicon is +4 and that of oxygen is -2. Two atoms of oxygen must combine with 1 Si atom to form stable silicon dioxide. Therefore, the formula for the silicon dioxide is as follows: SiO 2 b. The symbol for carbon is C and that of bromine is Br. The stable oxidation state of carbon is +4 and that of Br is -1

Q9. The insecticide DDT (in the box below) is useful in controlling mosquito populations and has low toxicity to humans, but is dangerous to birds and fish. Hoping to alleviate the dangers, little Johnny Whizbang, an aspiring chemist, proposes a new version of DDT ("Bromo-DDT") and shows his synthesis to his boss. Will Johnny Whizbang's synthesis work? Or will he be fired? Assume there is an excess of bromine and polybrominated products can be separated. Explain why. CH3 Br2, light CBR3 ok-ok Br Br Br Br CI "Bromo-DDT" CCl 3 DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) CI
