Why do polar molecules have a greater tendency to remain a liquid or a solid at room temperature?

1 answer:

7 0

Polar molecules are molecules wherein the atoms do not share an electron equally in a bond especially a covalent bond. Due to this unequal sharing of the electrons, a dipole would form where a part would have a partial positive charge and the other end would have a partial negative charge. Having both the partial positive and the negative charges, the molecules of the substance would have a tendency to hold each other. As a result, polar molecules would exist at room temperature as liquids or solids rather than existing as gas. Examples are water, sugar, ethanol and hydrochloric acid.

Answer: 2) see below

3) 2AgCl → 2Ag + Cl₂

Explanation:

Step 1: Crushing & Grinding CuFeS₂(s)→ CuFeS₂(s)

Step 2: Froth Flotation CuFeS₂(s)----> CuFeS₂ (l)

Step 3: Roasting 2CuFeS₂(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2FeO(s) + 2CuS(s) + 2SO₂(g)

Step 4: Converting matte to blister Cu₂S(l) + O₂(g) → 2Cu(l) + SO₂(g)

Step 5: Anode Casting Cu(l) → Cu(s)

Step 6: Electrolytic Refining Cu(s) → Cu(s)

Anode: Cu(s) → Cu₂ + (aq) + 2e-

Cathode: Cu2 + (aq) + 2e- → Cu(s)

see diagram below for illustration of steps

3) When silver chloride (solid) is exposed to sunlight, it decomposes into silver (solid) and chlorine (gas).

The equation is written as: $2AgCl_{(s)}\xrightarrow{\text{sunlight}}}2Ag_{(s)}+Cl_{2(g)}$

What typefs) of bonding would be expected for each of the following materials: solid xenon, calcium fluoride (CaF, bronze, cadmi

klio [65]

Answer:

a) Solid Xenon - only van der waals forces of attractions.

b) Calcium Fluoride - Ionic Bonding

c) Bronze - Metallic Bonding

d) Cadmium telluride - Covalent bonding with slight ionic character.

e) Rubber - Covalent bonding with some van der Waals forces of attraction.

f) Tungsten - Metallic bonding

Explanation:

a) Xenon is a noble gas having fully filled stable electronic configuration.

So, there is no bonding between xenon atoms in solid xenon.

Only van der waals forces of attraction are found.

b) Calcium fluoride is an ionic compound formed from calcium (2+) and Fluoride ion.

c) Bronze is an alloy formed mainly from copper and tin which are both metals.

So, metallic bonding is in found in bronze.

d) Cadmium telluride is formed form cadimium (2+) ion and Telluride ion with -2 charge.

So, it has slight ionic character with predominant covalent bonding

e) Rubber is a polymer which is formed from isoprene units.

So, covalent bonding exists along with van der waals forces.

f) Tungsten is a metal. So, metallic bonding is found between the atoms of tungsten.

Atomic number and the number of protons are the same...
Neutrons = Mass number - number of protons
Electrons are same # unless there is a charge
The whole number you see on the periodic table is the atomic number of the element which is also same as the number of protons

1) carbon - 14 ; Mass number = 14 , Protons = 6 , Neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8
  Electrons = 6

2) Lead - 208 ; Mass # = 208 , Protons = 82 , Neutrons = 208 - 82 = 126
  Electrons = 82

3) Uranium - 239 ; Mass # = 239  , Protons = 92,Neutrons = 239 - 92 = 147
Electrons =  92

4) Uranium - 238 ; Mass # = 238 , Protons = 92 , Neutrons = 238 - 92 = 146
Electrons = 92

5) Tin - 118 ; Mass # = 118 , Protons = 50 , Neutrons = 118 - 50 = 68
Electrons = 50
