Why was mass lost from the crucible during the reaction?

1 answer:

6 0

If the crucible wasn't covered with a lid the reactants may have produced a gas that was released into the surroundings, or mass may have been lost in the form of water vapour.

Which of the following are held together by nonpolar convalent bonds?

Olin [163]

A. Atoms of chlorine (Cl)

Explanation:

The atoms of chlorine are held together by non-polar covalent bonds.

Covalent bonds are formed between two or more atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.
For homonuclear molecules where the two bonding atom are of the same kind, the electronegativity difference is zero.
This covalent bond type is called non-polar covalent bond.
In this bond type, there is equal sharing of the electron pair between the atoms and there is no electrostatic charge on the molecule.

What is the bond order of li2−? express the bond order numerically?

jeka94

Atomic Number of Lithium is 3, so it has 3 electrons in its neutral state. Also, Li₂ will have 6 electrons. But the chemical formula we are given has a negative charge on it (i.e Li₂⁻) so there is an additional electron (RED) present on this compound. So, the total number of electrons are 7. The MOT diagram for this compound is shown below. According to diagram we are having 4 electrons in Bonding Molecular Orbitals (BMO) and 3 electrons in Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbitals (ABMO). Bond Order is calculated as,

Bond Order = (# of e⁻s in BMO - # of e⁻s in ABMO) ÷ 2

Bond Order = (4 - 3) ÷ 2

Bond Order = 1 ÷ 2
Or,
Bond Order = 1/2
Or,
Bond Order = 0.5

How does the reactivity of nonmetals change as you move from left to right across the periodic table?

Rudiy27

Answer:

Metallic character refers to the level of reactivity of a metal. Non-metallic character relates to the tendency to accept electrons during chemical reactions. Metallic tendency increases going down a group. Non-metallic tendency increases going from left to right across the periodic table.

Explanation:

I hope this helps :)
