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.

In an isolated system, mass can neither be<br> created or destroyed.<br> ube<br> FALSE<br> TRUE

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

As an employee of a summer sports camp, one of your jobs is to prepare the tank of vitamin water for use throughout the day. the

TiliK225 [7]

Given:
Mixture of vitamin water = 75% pure water & 25% concentrated vitamin drink.
To find:
Quantity of water to be added to 16 gallons of concentrated vitamin drink to prepare a tank of vitamin water.
Solution:
Let total amount of mixture be x.
25% of x = 16 gallons (from given information)
When 25% of x is 16 gallons, the remaining 75% of x will be calculated as below:
(16/25)*75 = 48
Answer: 75% of x = 48 gallons. This means 48 gallons pure water is required to be added to mixture to prepare a tank of vitamin water.

Use MO diagrams to place B2+, B2, and B2- in order of (a) decreasing bond energy; (b) decreasing bond length.

shepuryov [24]

We use the MO diagram for a homonuclear diatomic species (since C and N are neighbours, we treat them as the "same").

The first two electrons contribute to bonding. The next two are anti-bonding.

The next six contribute to bonding, and the following six are anti-bonding.

So, if we start with CN+, which has 4+5-1 (8) valence electrons, we note that the first two electrons contribute to bonding, while the next two cancel this out; the next four contribute to bonding, so the bond order is 4/2 = 2.

If we add one more electron to get CN, there are now 5 bonding electrons, giving bond order 5/2=2.5.

Adding one more to give CN- would give the bond order 6/2 = 3. (If we added more electrons, each one would lower the bond order.)

Given a series of molecules with identical skeletal structures, the one with the highest bond order has the highest bond energy:

CN+ < CN < CN-

Lewis structures will verify that CN- has a triple bond, but they do not work particularly well for CN+ and CN.
