Question

Write the atomicity of the following molecules:
i) Sulphur ii) Phosphorus iii) Ozone iv) Neon v) Nitrogen gas vi) Carbon dioxide

Answer 1

i ) 8

ii ) 4

iiI ) 3

iv ) 1

v) 2

vi ) 3

ABOUT THESE :-

I )

Sulphur is non-metal and exist in 2 allotropic forms that are Rhombic and monoclinic.

Ortho-rhombic sulphur is made up of S

8 molecules.

Atomicity is defined as the number of atoms in a molecule of that element.

For ex: Oxygen molecule consists of two atoms of oxygen chemically bonded to each other.

So the atomicity of oxygen is 2 and therefore it is a diatomic gas.

Sulphur molecules consist of eight atoms per molecule.Its atomicity is 8.

2 )

Phosphorus exist as P 4 .So the atomicity is 4. Atomicity is the number of atoms of an element present in one molecule of that particular element. The number of atoms present in a molecule of phosphorus are 4 atoms . So the atomicity of phosphorus is 4.

3 )

Atomicity is the total number of atoms present in one molecule of an element or a substance.

O 3 contains 3 oxygen atoms so its atomicity is3.

4 )

Ne is a noble gas with complete octet

so do not form compounds

∴Atomicity=1

5)

Atomicity is the total number of atoms present in 1 molecule of a substance. The atomicity of nitrogen is 2 as N 2 molecule contains 2 atoms.

6)

As we know that,atomicity means number of atoms present in a molecule or compound. =3 atoms. So,the atomicity of CO2 is 3. =3 atoms.
