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 closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its _____.
svlad2 [7]
The closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its accuracy. This term is the degree of which a certain measurement conforms to the correct value or the standard value. It is not the same with the term precision. Precision, on the other hand, is a measure used to characterize the closeness of the data measured.

The magnitude of an earthquake, measured on the Richter Scale, is M log1o T where / is the amplitude registered on a seismograph
just olya [345]

<u>Answer:</u> The magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times I_o is 7.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Richter scale is defined as the scale which expresses the magnitude of earthquake on the basis of the seismograph oscillations.

The equation used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake on Richter scale is:

M=log_{10}\frac{I}{I_o}

where

I = amplitude registered on seismograph 100 km away from seismic center = 10,000,000I_o

I_o = small amplitude

Putting values in above equation, we get:

M=\log_{10}(\frac{10000000I_o}{I_o})\\\\M=7

Hence, the magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times I_o is 7.

For the reaction HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + H2O, how many grams of magnesium nitrate are produced from 8.00 mol of nitric acid,
ollegr [7]

Answer:

tha mass of magnesium nitrate is 592g

Explanation:

from a balanced chemical equation

2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + 2H2O

2 mol of nitric acid is equivalent to 1 mol of magnesium nitrate. then 8 mol of nitric acid will be equivalent to 4 mol of magnesium nitrate.

The standard enthalpy change for the following reaction is 873 kJ at 298 K.
Flura [38]

Answer:  - 436.5 kJ.

Explanation:

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation.

The given chemical reaction is,

2KCl(s)\rightarrow 2K(s)+Cl_2(g)  \Delta H_1=873kJ

Now we have to determine the value of \Delta H for the following reaction i.e,

K(s)+\frac{1}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow KCl(s) \Delta H_2=?

According to the Hess’s law, if we divide the reaction by half then the \Delta H will also get halved and on reversing the reaction , the sign of enthlapy changes.

So, the value \Delta H_2 for the reaction will be:

\Delta H_2=\frac{1}{2}\times (-873kJ)

\Delta H_2=-436.5kJ

Hence, the value of \Delta H_2 for the reaction is -436.5 kJ.
