Ionic or covalent C2H5OH

Chemistry
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Covalent  

Explanation:

A molecule of C₂H₅OH has C-C, C-H, C-O, and O-H bonds.

A bond between A and B will be ionic if the difference between their electronegativities (ΔEN) is greater than 1.6.

\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Bond} & \textbf{$\Delta$EN} & \textbf{Polarity}\\\text{C-C} & 2.55 - 2.55 = 0.00 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-H} & 2.55 - 2.20 = 0.35 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-O} & 3.44 - 2.55 = 0.89 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\text{O-H} & 3.44 - 2.20 = 1.24 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\end{array}

No bond has a large enough ΔEN to be ionic.

C₂H₅OH is a covalent molecule.

Why chlorine has high electroaffinity than flourine​
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Fluorine has seven electrons in 2p-subshell whereas chlorine has seven electrons in its 3p-subshell. 3p-subshell is relatively larger than 2p-subshell. Therefore, repulsion among the electrons will be more in the 2p-shell of fluorine than 3p-subshell in chlorine.  Due to the smaller size and thus, the greater electron-electron repulsions, fluorine will not accept an incoming electron with the same as chlorine.

Solve the quadratic equation 2x^2+13x=15 by method of completing the square<br>​
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x = 1, -7.5

Explanation:

2x² + 13x = 15

Divide the left side of the equation by 2

2(x² + 6.5x) = 15

Divide 6.5 by 2 and square the quotient

6.5/2 = 3.25

3.25² = 10.5625

Add 10.5625 to the left side

2(x² + 6.5x + 10.5625) = 15

Since you have a 2 outside the parentheses, you will be adding 10.5625•2 to the right side.

10.5625 • 2 = 21.125

2(x² + 6.5x + 10.5625) = 36.125

To factor (x² + 6.5x + 10.5625), add b/2 to x

b/2 = 6.5/2 = 3.25

2(x + 3.25)² = 36.125

Divide by 2

(x + 3.25)² = 18.0625

Square root.

(x + 3.25) = √18.0625

x + 3.25 = ±4.25

Subtract 3.25.

x = 4.25 - 3.25 = 1

x = -4.25 - 3.25 = -7.5

x = 1, -7.5

A reaction produces 0.883 moles of H₂O. How many molecules are produced?
prisoha [69]
The answer is 5.32 × 10²³ molecules

<span>Avogadro's number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance:
</span>6.023 <span>× 10²³ units per 1 mole

We have 0.883 moles.
If 1 mole has </span>6.023 × 10²³ molecules, 0.883 moles will have x molecules:
1 mole : 6.023 × 10²³ molecules = 0.883 moles : x

x = 6.023 × 10²³ molecules * 0.883 moles : 1 mole = 5.32 × 10²³ molecules

How does repeatability have an effect on scientific research?
Bas_tet [7]
In science it is best to continue research, and rinse and repeat. This allows for a stronger hypothesis if you're results are the same every time, or change your hypothesis if you stumble upon new results. <span />
