Convert the following to scientific notation 24,212,000

1 answer:

5 0

2.4212 X 10^ 7
How I at least figure this problem out is I take a pencil and start on the right side of the 0 and make a loop to the left for each number and count until I get to the first two numbers that are between 1-9 when reading from left to right. This is where you put the decimal point. Some teachers rather you keep the 0's there, while others prefer one to get rid of them. Anyways with that new decimal number, you multiply the decimal by ten to what ever number you counted, which was 7.

Classify each of the following bonds as non polar covalent polar or ionic

Soloha48 [4]

A) Polar (Cl is more electronegative than Si)
b) Nonpolar (Both atoms have the same electronegativity)
c) Ionic (Ionic bonds happen between a metal and a nonmetal)
d) Nonpolar (Hydrogen and carbon have about the same electronegativity) this is a common nonpolar bond)
You can identify the type of bon by looking at what is being bonded (nonmetal or metal) and the placement of the elements on the periodic table (electronegativity increases going up a group and going from left-right across a period).

How do metals form chemical bonds with other metals?

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Metallic bonding

Explanation:

Metals have low ionization energies. Therefore, their valence electrons are easily delocalized (attracted to the neighbouring metal atoms). These delocalized electrons are then not associated with a specific metal atom. Since the electrons are “free”, the metal atoms have become cations, and the electrons are free to move throughout the whole crystalline structure.

We say that a metal consists of an array of cations immersed in a sea of electrons .

The electrons act as a “glue” holding the cations together.

Metallic bonds are the attractive forces between the metal cations and the sea of electrons.

In an NaK alloy, for example, the Na and K atoms contribute their valence electrons to the "sea". The atoms aren’t bonded to each other, but they are held in place by the metallic bonding.
