Electronegativity is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself. When a chlorine atom covalently bonds to another chlorine atom, the shared electron pair is shared equally. The electron density that comprises the covalent bond is located halfway between the two atoms.

But what happens when the two atoms involved in a bond aren’t the same? The two positively charged nuclei have different attractive forces; they “pull” on the electron pair to different degrees. The end result is that the electron pair is shifted toward one atom.

ATTRACTING ELECTRONS: ELECTRONEGATIVITIES

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The following figure shows the electronegativity values of the various elements below each element symbol on the periodic table. With a few exceptions, the electronegativities increase, from left to right, in a period, and decrease, from top to bottom, in a family.

Electronegativities give information about what will happen to the bonding pair of electrons when two atoms bond. A bond in which the electron pair is equally shared is called a nonpolar covalent bond. You have a nonpolar covalent bond anytime the two atoms involved in the bond are the same or anytime the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved in the bond is very small.



Now consider hydrogen chloride (HCl). Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.

A bond in which the electron pair is shifted toward one atom is called a polar covalent bond. The atom that more strongly attracts the bonding electron pair is slightly more negative, while the other atom is slightly more positive. The larger the difference in the electronegativities, the more negative and positive the atoms become.

Now look at a case in which the two atoms have extremely different electronegativities — sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium chloride is ionically bonded. An electron has transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium has an electronegativity of 1.0, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0.

That’s an electronegativity difference of 2.0 (3.0 – 1.0), making the bond between the two atoms very, very polar. In fact, the electronegativity difference provides another way of predicting the kind of bond that will form between two elements, as indicated in the following table.

The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times while maintaining a constant volume. What happens
poizon [28]

Answer:

<u>It increases by a factor of four</u>

Explanation:

Boyle's Law : At constant temperature , the volume of fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

pV = K.......(1)

pV = constant

Charles law : The volume of the gas is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure.

V = KT

or V/T = K = constant ....(2)

Applying equation (1) and (2)

\frac{PV}{T}=K

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

According to question ,

T2 = 4 (T1)

V2 = V1

Put the value of T2 and V2 , The P2 can be calculated,

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{1}}{4T_{1}}

V1 and V1 cancel each other

T1 and T1 cancel each other

We get,

P1=\frac{P2}{4}

or

P2 = 4 P1

So pressure increased by the factor of four

1. Which graph shows the melting of crystalline solids? Explain your reasoning.
madreJ [45]
(1) The melting of a crystalline solid is best depicted by the second graph. This is because, the second graph shows a horizontal line which means that for a while there was no change in temperature. This zone is the latent heat of fusion. 

(2) The first graph shows the graph of a solid that is just heated but does not experience phase change. However, the second graph shows a solid that changes phase (from crystal/solid to liquid).
