Answer: Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding

Explanation: Ammonia molecule is planar molecule in which 3 hydrogen atoms are attached to the nitrogen atom leaving a pair of lone pair of electrons on the latter.

As we know that the hydrogen bonding is the result of the electrostatic forces of attraction between the hydrogen atom attached with the electronegative atom of one compound with the electronegative atom of the other.

Thus the strongest type of van der waal forces of attraction which can occur in molecules of ammonia is Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding

Identify the following redox reactions by type. Check all that apply. (a) Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2 combination decomposition disp

EastWind [94]

Answer :

(a) displacement reaction

(b) combination reaction

(c) disproportionation reaction

(d) displacement reaction

Explanation :

(a) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$Fe+H_2SO_4\rightarrow FeSO_4+H_2$

This reaction is a single replacement reaction or displacement in which the the more reactive element (Fe) replace the less reactive element (H).

(b) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$S+3F_2\rightarrow SF_6$

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactants molecule combine to form a large molecule or single product.

(c) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+CuCl_2$

This reaction is a disproportionation reaction in which the chemical species gets oxidized and reduced simultaneously. It is also considered as a redox reaction.

(d) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2Ag+PtCl_2\rightarrow 2AgCl+Pt$

This reaction is a single replacement reaction or displacement in which the the more reactive element (Ag) replace the less reactive element (Pt).
