What type of bond occurs between 2 chlorine atoms? Explain why.

Chemistry

Over [174]3 years ago

The answer is B.

We can rule out A because metallic bonds only happen between metals, and chlorine is a halogen (not a metal).

We can rule out C because polar covalent bonds form between atoms with high electronegativity differences. Since the bond is between two atoms of the same type, they would both have the same EN value and therefore their EN difference would be zero.

We can also rule out D because ionic bonds occur between a metal and a nonmetal.

List the substances Ar, Cl2, CH4, and CH3COOH, in order of increasing strength of intermolecular attractions. List the substance
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction:

CH_3COOH > Cl_2 > CH_4 > Ar

Explanation:

CH_3COOH can form hydrogen bond as H atom is attached with electronegative atom O.

Rest three, Cl_2,  CH_4,  Ar are non-polar molecules.

In non-polar molecules, van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attractions exist. Hydrogen bonding is stronger intermolecular attraction then van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attraction, hence, CH_3COOH has strongest intermolecular attractions.

Ar will have least intermolecular attraction, as it behaves almost as ideal gas and there is no intermolecular attraction exist between molecules of ideal gases.

Molecular size and mass of Cl_2 is high as compared to CH_4.

van der Waals intermolecular forces of attraction increases with increase in size.

Therefore,

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction will be:

CH_3COOH > Cl_2 > CH_4 > Ar

What will happen to a liquid when heated
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we heat a liquid, what happens is that the molecules of the liquid will absorb heat and thus develop kinetic energy that will make them move faster.

Now, as the liquid begins to boil, bubbles of will be formed inside the liquid and then rises to the surface. Now, when the temperature of the reaches 100°C which is the boiling point of a liquid, the molecules at the top of the liquid begin to change to gaseous state and escape in form of vapour.
