Which of the following pairs of compounds contain the same number of atoms but different kinds of atoms class=

Respuesta :

Answer: A) CO2 and CaCl2

Explanation: CO2 is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide contains a total of three atoms but two different atoms. CO2 contains one carbon atom (C) and two oxygen atoms (O2). One carbon atom plus two oxygen atoms is equal to a total of three atoms.

On the other hand, CaCl2 is the chemical formula for calcium chloride. CaCl2 contains one calcium atom and two chlorine atoms giving a total of three atoms.

Therefore CO2 and CaCl2 have the same number of atoms but different kinds of atoms.
