Consider a mystery compound having the formula mxty. if the compound is not an acid, if it contains only two elements, and if m is not a metal, which of the following is true about the compound? a.) it contains a polyatomic ion. b.) its name ends in -ite or -ate. c.) its name ends in -ic. d.) it is a binary molecular compound.

d.) It is a binary molecular compound.

Explanation:

The compound in question has a formula . The compound is not acidic in nature and the element 'M' is not a metal. This shows that the compound does not contain any metal. Based on the definition of a binary molecular compound as a compound comprising elements that are not metals. Therefore, the compound is obviously a binary molecular compound.

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.

the correct answer would be d. hope this !
