Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We need to identify the compound that contains a metal.
. The compounds given are , , , , and .
3. We know that metals are elements that are typically shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable and ductile. They are located on the left and center of the periodic table.
STEP 2
We need to identify the elements in each compound and determine if any of them are metals. Let's start with .
The elements in are Carbon (C) and Oxygen (). Both of these elements are non-metals.
STEP 3
Next, let's look at .
The elements in are Lithium (Li) and Chlorine (Cl). Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a non-metal.
STEP 4
Now, let's examine .
The elements in are Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (). Both of these elements are non-metals.
STEP 5
Next, let's look at .
The elements in are Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H). Both of these elements are non-metals.
STEP 6
Finally, let's examine .
The elements in are Phosphorus () and Bromine (Br). Both of these elements are non-metals.
STEP 7
After examining all the compounds, we find that only contains a metal, which is Lithium.
So, the compound that contains a metal is .
