Why is the brcl molecule polar? the shared electrons are closer to cl due to the greater electronegativity of chlorine. bromine

has a large positive nucleus. three-dimensional geometry is asymmetrical. chlorine gains an electron whereas bromine loses one?

The shared electrons are closer to Cl due to the greater electronegativity of chlorine.

Answer: the shared electrons are closer to cl due to the greater electronegativity of chlorine.


Justification:


1) In a covalent bond (the bond between two non-metal elements) the electrons are shared.


2) When the two elements have different electronegativities the electrons are not evely shared: the element with the greatest electronegativity will pull the electrons with higher strength.


3) As consequence the electrons will be closer to the most electronegative atom creating a dipole moment, which is what causes the molecule to be polar.


4) You can learn the trend of electronegativity in the periodic table: in a group the electronegativity decreases downward. With this you do not need a table with the values of the electronegativities and can predict that the electronegativity of Cl is greater than the electronegativity of Br.


5) From above statements you can conclude that, due to its greater electronegativity, chorine will pull the electrons with greater strength, causing the molecule to be polar.

URGENT!! This is timed, PLEASE HELP!
Andrews [41]

Answer:

99.24 gm of nitrogen .

Explanation:

molecular weight of ammonia = 17 , molecular weight of nitrogen = 28.

2 NH₃(g) + 3 CuO(s) → 1N₂(g) + 3 Cu(s) + 3 H₂O(g)

2 x 17 gm                      28 gm

( 34 gm )

34 gm of ammonia forms 28 gms of nitrogen

1 gm of ammonia   forms 28 / 34 gms of nitrogen

120.51 gn of ammonia forms 28 x 120.51 / 34 gms of nitrogen

28 x 120.51 / 34 gms

= 99.24 gms of nitrogen will be formed .

A wooden boat is discovered just south of the Graet Pyramid in Egypt had a Carbon-14 content of approximately 25% of that found
wolverine [178]

Because 25% is half of 0.5 and the half life of {}^{14}\text{C} is given as 5,715, the time it takes to reach this amount should just be double the half life: 11430 years.

However, in other cases the problem may not have easy numbers, so below is a more mathematical approach.

The half life formula is A=A_0*(\frac{1}{2} )^{\frac{t}{h} }.

Solving for t gives:

t=\frac{h*\ln(\frac{A}{A_0} )}{\ln(\frac{1}{2} )}

Given information:

A=0.25A_0\\h=5715\text{ yrs}

Plug in given values and solve for t.

t=\frac{5715 *\ln(0.25) }{\ln(\frac{1}{2} )} =11430 \text{ yrs}

With correct significant figures, this would be 11000 years.

For the reaction 3ZnCO3 + 2H3PO4 —&gt; 3H2O + 3CO2, how many miles of zinc carbonate are required to produce 3.0 mil of Zn3(PO4)
drek231 [11]

Answer:

\boxed{ \text{9.0 mol of ZnCO$_{3}$}}

Explanation:

(a) Balanced equation

3ZnCO₃ + 2H₃PO₄  ⟶ Zn₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂O + 3CO₂

(b). Calculation

You want to convert moles of Zn₃(PO₄)₂  to moles of ZnCO₃

The molar ratio is 1 mol Zn₃(PO₄)₂:3 mol ZnCO₃  

\text{Moles of ZnCO$_{3}$} =\text{3.0 mol Zn$_{3}$(PO$_{4})_{2}$ } \times \dfrac{\text{3.0 mol ZnCO$_{3}$}}{\text{1 mol Zn$_{3}$(PO$_{4}$)$_{2}$}} \\\\\\= \text{9.0 mol ZnCO$_{3}$}

You need \boxed{ \textbf{9.0 mol of ZnCO$_{3}$}} to form 3.0 mol of Zn₃(PO₄)₂.
