What is the name of IBr4?<br> And is it covalent or ionic?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: The name of the IBr_4 is Iodine tetrabromide and it is a covalent compound.

Explanation:

Inter-halogen compounds are compounds which composed of two different halogen atoms. For example ;ICl_3,IF_5 etc.

The naming is done by first writing the central atom symbol's name followed by the prefix corresponding to the number of atoms of another halogen atom like: Mono for 1, di ,for 2 tri for 3, tetra for 4 , penta for 5 etc. After this name of the another halogen is written with suffix 'ide' in the end.

The name of the IBr_4 is Iodine tetra bromide.

In halogen compounds, the difference in electronegativities is not so large due to which they form covalent compounds by the means of sharing the electrons. Hence the Iodine tetrabromide  covalent compound.

sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride, explain how in terms of electrons, atoms and ions
OverLord2011 [107]
Sodium is in group 1 so it has 1 valence electron (one electron in its outer shell). Sodium will be looking to lose its one valence electron in order to become more stable. Chlorine is in group 17 so it has 7 valence electrons, and therefor only needs to gain one valence electron to attain noble gas electron configuration (become stable with 8 valence electrons, just like the noble gases in group 18 have 8). Because the chlorine atom is trying to gain one electron, and the sodium atom is trying to lose one, sodium will give up its one valence electron to chlorine and the two atoms will form an ionic bond. Because chlorine is looking to gain just one electron and sodium is looking to lose the same number, the ratio of chlorine atoms to sodium atoms will be 1:1, one chlorine atom per one sodium atom.

The acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The force exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the mass of the sprinter?
jek_recluse [69]

The relation between force, mass of an object and its acceleration is given by following equation

F = mass of object X acceleration

The unit of Force is Newton (N)

unit of acceleration is ms⁻²

unit of mass if Kg

[all these are SI units]

Mass of object =\frac{Force}{acceleration}

mass of sprinter =\frac{650}{10}=65kg

How do models help scientists predict the polarity of molecules?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Where the greatest electron density is. And isn’t. Look at water. H-O-H.

The oxygen has more electrons, AND 2 lone pairs - the Hydrogens will be partially positive, and so such a way shows the polarity; am arrow with +-> on the Hydrogen area. The “point” will have a negative sign; usually these are drawn as “partially positive” & “partially negative”, but I can’t draw that. Sorry.
