Question

Use the above picture to fill in the blanks for the following statement. Two of the element sodium combine with one of the element chlorine to form the sodium chloride. A. atoms; atom; compound B. molecules; molecule; compound C. compounds; atom; molecule D. atoms; molecule; compound

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest unit of the chemical substance which cannot be further divided. For Example: Sodium, Magnesium

A molecule is defined as the cluster of atoms of same element or different elements. For Example: $Cl_2,P_4$

A compound is formed when two or more atoms combine in a fixed ratio by mass. For Example: $BaSO_4,NaCl$

To form a bond between sodium and chlorine, the bond is formed when two atoms of Sodium element combines with a molecule of Chlorine gas to form 2 moles of sodium chloride molecule.

The equation for the formation of sodium chloride is:

$2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)$

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
