What is the formula for silicon tetrachloride? a
SiCl4
Ob
Si4Cl
С
Si₂C14
Od
SigCl₂

Explanation:

We are given the compound name: silicon tetrachloride.

Silicon is a metalloid and chlorine is a nonmetal, therefore we must use the rules of molecular compounds. Molecular compounds use prefixes to name the compounds. Break up the compound into 2 parts.

1. Silicon

The first element: silicon, has no prefix. Therefore, a prefix of mono (1) is implied.

2. Tetrachloride

The -ide suffix is added to the second element, so this is really chlorine. The prefix of tetra means 4.

So there is 1 silicon (Si) atom and 4 chlorine (Cl) atoms. The formula must be SiCl₄

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
