Of the molecules sicl4 and sii4, which has bonds that are more polar?

1 answer:

6 0

The bonds in the SiCl₄ molecules will be more polar.

The polarity of bonds within a molecule depends on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms that are involved in the bond. Chlorine is a more electronegative atom than iodine. Therefore, the electrons in the Si-Cl bond will be more concentrated near the Cl, creating polarity in the bond. Iodine is not as electronegative, so it will not result in a very polarized Si-I bond

Using the VSEPR theory , what would the representation mean A central atom with 2 connected atoms atom with I lone pair of Jone

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The molecule has a bent geometry

Explanation:

Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.

The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.

245 g water sample initially at at 32 oC absorbs 17 kcal of heat. What is the final temperature of water?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:62.66°C or 235.66K

Explanation:Q=McpT, the energy was given in calories so you first convert to Joules by multiplying the value in calories by 4.184J.

17*4.184=71.128kJ.

71.128kJ=mcpT

71.128kJ=245*4.187*(T-Tm)

Tm is the final temperature of the mixture. The T is the temperature given which should be converted to Kelvin by adding 273...T=32+273=305K.

71128J=245*4.187*(305-Tm)

71128=312873.575-1025.815Tm

1025.815Tm=312873.575-71128

1025.815Tm=241745.58

Tm=241745.58/1025.815

Tm=235.66K
