The relatively high boiling point of water is due to water having
Verizon [17]
The answer should be hydrogen bonding. Water only has oxygen and hydrogen in it, which are both nonmetals, so you know the answer cannot be metallic or ionic. It also cannot be nonpolar because the electronegativity of the oxygens will make the molecule polar. You can also know it is hydrogen bonding because it can only take place when a hydrogen is attached to an oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen. These bonds are very strong attractions, so the molecules are extremely hard to pull apart, creating a high boiling point. Hope that helps!

State the oxidation number assigned to each bold element in the formula: NH4+1 a 3 b -3 c -1 d 6
Leya [2.2K]
The fomula is NH4 (1+)


There are only two elements N and H.


As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.


N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.


You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.


In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.


Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.


That implies that 4* (1+)  + x =   1+


=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-


Answer:  the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.

Does the excess reactant get used up completely in a reaction??
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, reactants that are not used up when the reaction is finished are called excess reagents. The reagent that is completely used up or reacted is called the limiting reagent, because its quantity limits the amount of products formed.

Which atom’s ionization energy is greater than that of phosphorus (P)? A. Ba B. K C. As D. Cl
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer is: D. Cl (chlorine).

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Barium, potassium and arsenic are metals (easily lost valence electrons), chlorine is nonmetal (easily gain electrons).

Alkaline metals (in this example, potassium) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), earth alkaline metals (in this example, barium) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.

Nonmetals (in this example chlorine) are far right in the main group and they have highest ionization energy, because they have many valence electrons.
