<span> I'll try. A purely ionic bond, as the name implies is a bond between ions. If that sounds like double-talk it's because some ionic compounds are more ionic than others. A purely covalent compound is one in which the electrons are shared EQUALLY. It turns out that the only compounds in which the electrons are shared equally is one in which both atoms sharing the electrons are of the same element. For example O2, N2, Cl2, I2 or F2. Now suppose you make a compound between Fluorine and Iodine, IF. Since fluorine has a greater attraction for electrons than iodine, the bond will be polar. That is the fluorine part of the molecule will be negative and the iodine part will be positive. The attraction for electrons isn't equal. The same thing happens with ionic bonds. In your first question, the ionic character decreases from NaF through SiF4. Sodium loses an electron quite readily because it achieves a stable neon like configuration. Fluorine attracts an electron very strongly for the same reason. But as you move across the period, two things are happening. First, look at SiF4. Silicon is right in the middle of the period, It can achieve a stable inert gas configuration either by gaining 4 or losing 4 electrons. So it depends upon the electronegativity (the electron grabbing ability) of the atom it's combining with. Since Fluorine has the highest electron grabbing ability of any of the reactive elements, it will tend to pull the electrons away from silicon. But silicon doesn't completely give them up as it would in a purely ionic compound. AlF3 is similar but will tend to give up 3 electrons a little easier than SiF4. MgF2 is even more ionic because it's approaching an inert gas configuration and only need to lose 2 electrons. Can you see what's happening? The closer you get to the middle of a period, the less likely an atom is to give up COMPLETELY its electrons. In question 2 your answer is CO. The elements are close together (which means that their electronic structure is similar) and carbon, like silicon is in the middle of the period so its more likely to share electrons than it is to give them up (form an ionic bond). So it turns out that most chemical bonds are neither completely ionic or covalent but lie in between the two extremes and are called polar covalent. I hope this helps.</span>

Is there an N−Cl bond in solid ammonium chloride?
Tems11 [23]
When ammonia is reacted with HCl it abstracts proton from acid and forms Ammonium Ion and Chloride Ion.

                              NH₃  +  HCl   →   ⁺NH₄  + Cl⁻ (simply Written NH₄Cl)
Structure,
              The structure of Ammonium Chloride is among those structures which contains all three types of bonding's, i.e.
                                  
                                                Ionic Bond

                                                Covalent Bond

                                                Coordinate Covalent Bond

Three Hydrogen atoms previously bonded with Nitrogen are covalent in nature. The new incoming proton from HCl forms co-ordinate covalent bond with Nitrogen and Chloride Ion containing negative charge make Ionic Bond with the positive Ammonium Ion. In question, if the line between Nitrogen and Chlorine atom is assumed covalent then it is incorrect. Structure is shown below,

A 1.2516 gram sample of a mixture of caco3 and na2so4 was analyzed by dissolving the sample and completely precipitating the ca
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

0.009725 moles of H2C2O4

0.009725 moles CaCO3

Mass percentage =  77.77%

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: The balanced equation

2MnO4- +5C2H2O4+6H+ →2Mn2+ +10CO2+8H2O

We can see that for 2 moles of Mno4- consumed , there is 5 moles of C2H2O4 needed and 6 moles H+ to produce 2 moles Mn2+, 10 moles of CO2 and 8 moles of H2O

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate moles of MnO4-

Molarity = Moles/volume

Moles of Mno4- = Molarity of MnO4- * Volume of Mno4-

Moles of Mno4- = 0.1092M * 35.62 *10^-3 L

Moles of MnO4- = 0.00389 moles

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate moles of H2C2O4

Since there is needed 5 moles of C2H2O4 to consume 2 moles of MnO4-

then for 0.00389 moles of MnO4-, there is 5/2 *0.00389 = <u>0.009725 moles of H2C2O4</u>

<u />

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of CaCO3

moles of H2C2O4 = moles CaCO3, therefore, 0.009725 moles H2C2O4 = 0.009725 moles CaCO3

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate mass of CaCO3

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 100.09 g/mole

Mass of CaCO3 = moles of CaCO3 * Molar mass of CaCO3

Mass of CaCO3 = 0.009725 moles * 100.09 g/mole = 0.9734 g

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate percentage by weight of CaCO3

Mass of CaCO3 = 0.9734g

Mass of original sample = 1.2516g

Mass percentage = 0.9734/1.2516 *100% = 77.77%

A compound is 75.46% Carbon, 4.43% hydrogen and 20.10% Oxygen by mass. it has a molecular weight of 318.31g/mol. what is the mol
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

No.of moles of C is , n = mass/molar mass = 75.46 g / 12 (g/mol) = 6.3 moles No.of moles of H is , n' = mass/molar mass = 4.43 g / 1.0(g/mol) = 4.43 moles No.of moles of O is , n'' = mass/molar mass = 20.10 g / 16(g/mol) =1.25 moles Ratio to the no.of moles of C,H& O is 6.3 : 4.43 : 1.25 In the simple integer ratio is ( 6.3/1.25) : ( 4.43/1.25) : (1.25/1.25) 5.04 :3.5 : 1

Which compound in the picture has a central atom with four outside atoms and has at least one nonpolar bond.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer is:

B

Explanation:

The compound in Option B is Methane.

Methane is known to be a compound which has two elements, carbon and hydrogen. It has a central atom which is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. It's chemical formula is CH4.

Methane's outer atoms are dipoles and are in the same direction. This makes the overall molecule non-polar. The compound itself has non-polar bonds and it is non-polar itself.
