Question
What are likely formulas for the following substances?(a) CCl?(b) AlH?(c) $\mathrm{CH}_{?} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}$(d) $\mathrm{SiF}_{?}$(e) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{?}$
Step 1
Valency is the combining capacity of an atom. It is determined by the number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. For example, carbon (C) has a valency of 4, chlorine (Cl) has a valency of 1, aluminum (Al) has a valency of 3, hydrogen (H) has a valency Show more…
