List the following bond types in order of increasing strength: non-polar covalent bonds, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, polar cova
1 answer:
Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
- An ionic bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two chemically combining atoms.
In an ionic bond, there occurs attraction between oppositely charged ions due to which there occurs strong forces of attraction between them. Therefore, ionic bonds are the strongest bonds.
- A polar covalent bond is formed due to unequal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.
For example, is a polar covalent compound. Partial opposite charges tend to develop on the atoms of a polar covalent compound.
- A non-polar covalent bond is formed due to equal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.
For example, is a non-polar covalent molecule. No partial charges will be there on the atoms of a non-polar covalent molecule.
- A hydrogen bond is defined as the bond formed between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.
For example, in HCl compound there occurs hydrogen bonding.
In this type of bond, dipole-dipole attractive interactions tend to take place. And, strength of hydrogen bonds is very weak.
Thus, we can conclude that given bond types are arranged in order of increasing strength as follows.
Hydrogen bonds < non-polar covalent bonds < polar covalent bonds < ionic bonds

Rubidium is an element that belongs to Group 1. As such it will have physical properties similar to the other Group 1 elements. Rubidium is below Potassium in the periodic table but above Cesium. As such it would be most like one of those two elements.
Answer:
Explanation:
Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.
The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:
Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:
The net equation is then:
However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:
Actual anode half-equation:
Actual cathode half-equation:
Actual net reaction:
