Why is it better to give the actual speed of an object rather than to simply say it moved fast or it moved slowly

1 answer:

3 0

Specificity. It’s really loose to say that something is fast, since speed can be scalarly linked and relative. I could say that both a car on the highway is fast, but so is the speed of light. The actual speed of something helps to do away with the arbitrary nature of using “fast” and “slow”; however, we’re still at step one of the person who is receiving the information is unfamiliar with the scale that the actual speed is defined in.

Which of the following atoms forms an ionic bond with a sulfur atom? (Points : 3)

elena-s [515]

Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of valence electrons between two atoms.

Electronegativity tells the trend of an atom to atract electrons.

You should search for the complete set of rules that indicate whether an ionic or covalent bond happens.

There are two relevant rules to state if whether an ionic bond will happen:

- When the difference of electronegativities between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.

- When the difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, the bond is ionic if one of the elements is a metal.

You need to list the electronegativities of the five elements (there are tables with this information)

Element electronegativity

Cu: 1.9
H: 2.2
Cl 3.16
I: 2.66
S: 2.58

Differences:

Cu / S: 2.58 - 1.9 = 0.68
H / S: 2.58 - 2.2 = 0.38
Cl / S: 3.16 - 2.58 =0.58
I / S: 2.66 - 2.58 = 0.08

Those differences are too low to consider that the bond is ionic.

Then the answer is that none of those atoms forms an ionic bond with sulfur.

Arrange the following in order of increasing bond strength of the carbon oxygen bond:

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The correct option is: Carbonate ion < Carbon dioxide < Carbon monoxide

Explanation:

Bond energy is defined as the average energy needed to break a chemical covalent bond and signifies the strength of chemical covalent bond.

The bond strength of a covalent bond depends upon the <u>bond length and the bond order.</u>

Carbon monoxide molecule (CO) has two covalent bond and one dative bond. Bond order 2.6

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has two carbon-oxygen (C-O) double bonds of equal length. Bond order 2.0

Carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) has three C-O partial double bonds. Bond order 1.5

Also, the bond length is <u>inversely proportional to the bond order and bond strength.</u>

Therefore, <u>order of C-O bond length:</u> Carbon monoxide<Carbon dioxide<Carbonate ion

<u>Order of C-O bond order</u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide

<u>Order of C-O bond strength or energy</u><u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide</u>

How many atoms are there in 8.88 g Si?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many atoms are in 8.88 grams of silicon.

<h3>1. Grams to Moles </h3>

First, we convert grams to moles. We use the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. These values are found on the Periodic Table as they are equal to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up silicon's molar mass.

Si: 28.085 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a conversion factor with the molar mass.

$\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

We are converting 8.88 grams of silicon to moles, so we multiply by this value.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

Flip the fraction so the units of grams of silicon cancel.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 \ g \ Si}$

$8.88 *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 }$

$\frac {8.88} { 28.085 } \ mol \ Si$

$0.316183015845 \ mol \ Si$

<h3>2. Moles to Atoms </h3>

Next, we convert moles to atoms. We use Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of silicon.

Set up another conversion factor.

$\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$
