What is chemical equation of Braium chloride?

BaCl2

Explanation:

Barium = Ba

Chloride => Cl-

Chemical Equation:

Ba + Cl => BaCl2

Note:

The valency of barium is 2 and valency of chloride is 1 (i.e. chlorine). The formula formed by the combination of these elements is BaCl2 (there's exchange of valencies when these two elements combine).

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
