"What makes a bond polar"?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A.

Explanation:

A Covalent bond polar is between 2 non metals where one atom is bigger than the other one so the distribution of charges creates this polarity.

A. One atom attracts shared electrons more strongly than the other atom  This is the correct definition of bond polar, one element is bigger and stronger than the other element.

B. One atom has transferred its electrons completely to another atom  This definition is incorrect, it is the definition of ionic bonding.

C. A sea of electrons has been created between the elements  This definition is incorrect for the polar bond, it describes a metallic bonding.

D. Two atoms are sharing electrons with equal attraction This definition is incorrect for a polar bond, but is the correct definition for nonpolar bonding.

The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.3 years. after __________ years, 1/4 of the original amount of cobalt-60 will remain.
cestrela7 [59]
The  number of  years  required  for 1/4  cobalt-60  to remain   after   decay  is calculated  as follows

  after  one  half life  1/2 of the original  mass isotope  remains

after  another half life 1/4  mass  of  original  mass  remains

therefore  if one  half  life is  5.3   years  then  the  years required

= 2  x 5.3years =  10.6   years

1. Write the molecular equation, ionic equation, and net ionic equation for the reaction between calcium chloride and ammonium p
aalyn [17]

Answer:

(molecular) 3 CaCl₂(aq) + 2 (NH₄)₃PO₄(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) +  6 NH₄Cl(aq)

(ionic) 3 Ca²⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq) + 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq)

(net ionic) 3 Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

The molecular equation includes al the species in the molecular form.

3 CaCl₂(aq) + 2 (NH₄)₃PO₄(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) +  6 NH₄Cl(aq)

The ionic equation includes all the ions (species that dissociate in water) and the species that do not dissociate in water.

3 Ca²⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq) + 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 6 Cl⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the species that do not dissociate in water. In does not include <em>spectator ions</em>.

3 Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇄ Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Potassium bromide conducts electricity when ______
amm1812

Answer:

When melted or dissolved in water.

Explanation:

Potassium bromide in its solid form contains ions, which are charged atoms. Through the heating process, the melted potassium bromide becomes an ionic liquid. If solid potassium bromide is dissolved, for example in water, the resulting release of ions allows it to conduct electricity.
