Chapter 1: Q.1-1-24a (page 27)

What are likely formulas for the following molecules?

(a) NH?OH (b)AlCl? (c) CF2Cl?(d)CHO?

(a)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The chemical formula is NH2OH

Step by step solution

01

 Definition of Chemical formula

Chemical element forms the chemical formulas by sharing electrons and creating bonds that are likely to achieve octet configuration.

02

Fundamentals aboutNitrogen

As nitrogen is in group 5A of the periodic table and has five valence electrons, it thus needs to share three more electrons to make an octet, and therefore bonds to two more hydrogen atoms as it is bonded with the monovalent OH group.So, the number of hydrogen needed is 2.

03

The chemical formula for the molecule

Thus, the formula of the given compound is NH2OH.
