Acertain compound is made up of two chlorine atoms, one carbon atom, and one oxygen atom. what is the chemical formula of this compound? express your answer as a chemical formula.

The chemical formula for the compound is

Explanation:

A chemical compound which is formed by the combination of carbon, oxygen and chlorine atoms.

We are given:

Number of carbon atoms in the compound = 1

Number of oxygen atoms in the compound = 1

Number of chlorine atoms in the compound = 2

The chemical formula for the compound will be . The chemical name for the given compound is phosgene.

Hence, the compound is

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
