What is the expected ionic charge when group VI elements participate in ionic bonds?

1 answer:

3 0

Group 6 elements usually have extra electrons to make give them an octet. So, they have 6 electrons to start and when they have an octet, they have 8.

We can find the charge by doing simple math 6 - 8 = -2

Answer is D)

Can you help me with this question

Digiron [165]

Answer:

lithium is the most reactive alkali metal false as the reactivity of alkali metals increases from the top to the bottom of the group, so lithium (Li) is the least reactive alkali metal.

covalent bond is formed due to mutual sharing of electrons true

potassium is most reactive matal in activity series of metals false no lithium is more reactive than potassium

the process in which heat is given on surrounding is exothermic reaction not endothermic reaction

alkyl molecule is formed by removal of one hydrogen atom from alkane molecule true

Does uranium or barium nucleus have a stronger net force holding its protons

kondaur [170]

Nuclear binding energy is the energy that would be required to disassemble the nucleus of an atom into its component parts. These component parts are netrons and protons, which are collectively called nucleons

A solution of 0.90 g of an unknown nonelectrolyte in 100 ml of water at 27◦c has an osmotic pressure of 0.55 atm. what is the mo

drek231 [11]

Osmotic pressure is mathematically expressed as
π = CRT
where, C = concentration of solution
R = gas constant = 0.082 atm mol-1 K-1
T = temperature = 300 K
π = osmotic pressure = 0.55 atm

∴ 0.55 = C X 8.314 X 300
∴C = 0.022 M

Now, conc of solution (in terms of molarity) = $\frac{\text{weight of solute}}{\text{molecular weight X volume of solution(l)}}$

Given: weight of solute = 0.9 g
volume of solution = 100 ml = 0.1 l

∴ 0.022 = $\frac{0.9}{\text{molecular weight X 0.1}}$
∴ Molecular weight = 4.09 g/mol
