Answer:
0; +1; -1
Explanation:
The resonance structure of HN₃ is shown below (you can also use horizontal dashes to represent the bonding pairs).
The molecule has 16 valence electrons, and each N atom has an octet.
To get the formal charges, cut the covalent bonds in half.
Each atom gets the electrons on its side of the cut.
Formal charge = valence electrons in isolated atom - electrons on bonded atom
FC = VE - BE
(a) On Nₐ
VE = 5
BE = 1 lone pair (2)+ 3 bonding electrons = 2 + 3 = 5
FC = 5 - 5 = 0.
(b) On Nb:
VE = 5
BE = 4 bonding electrons = 4
FC = 5 - 4 = +1
(c) On Nc:
VE = 6
BE = 2 lone pairs(4) + 2 bonding electrons = 4 + 2 = 6
FC = 5 - 6 = -1
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.
<span>It exhibits the Tyndall effect. ---> FALSE. IT BELONGS TO THE COLLOIDES.
Brownian motion is not visible in it.--> FALSE. IT IS A PROPERTY OF FLUIDS WHEN MICROSCOPICAL PARTICLES ARE IN IT.
It cannot be separated using filtration.--->TRUE. THE PARTICLES CANNOT BE DISTINGUISHED NOR SEPARATED BY FILTRATION.
It has at least two phases.-->FALSE. E.G. SALT IN WATER FORM ONE UNIQUE PHASE.</span>
I think you divide something
