It is covalent bonding. The electrons are shared between the phosphorus and the chlorines.

covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between two elements.

molecular polarity is a little bit complicated, but I will try to explain ;)
PCl3 is an alternation on tetrahedral molecules.
It means that P has one lone pair of electrons. This pair of electrons are only attracted to the P nuclei and thus a greater freedom of motion.
This means that their orbital is bigger and this pushes the 3 Cl atoms closer together.
The angle between each Cl now is 107 and the angle between Cls and P is greater than 107.
Now, due to this shape, and also electronegativity (Cl is more electronegative than P meaning that it tends to hog the electrons they share closer to itself), PCl3 is polar. Electrons that are shared tend to flow closer towards the Cl than the P side.
Therefore, on the Cl side of the molecule it's, more negative. On the P side, it's more positive.

What percent of earths total volume is the crust

vlada-n [284]

Explanation:

The crust is the thinnest layer of the earth accounting for only 1% total volume of the planets.

Compositionally, the earth is divided into three layers which are the crust, mantle and the core.

The crust is the outermost layer of the earth. It rich in silicate minerals. The rocks are classified into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
The mantle takes up about 84% of the total volume of the earth. It is located in between the crust and the core. It is predominantly made up of ferro-magnesian silicate minerals.
The cores accounts for slightly 15% of the volume of the earth. It is the center of our geoid shaped earth. It is rich in iron and nickel metals.

In 1901, Thomas Edison invented the nickel-iron battery. The following reaction takes place in the battery. Fe(s) + 2 NiO(OH)(s)

lord [1]

Ans: Moles of Fe(OH)2 produced is 5.35 moles.

Given reaction:

Fe(s) + 2NiO(OH) (s) + 2H2O(l) → Fe(OH)2(s) + 2Ni(OH)2(aq)

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

1 mole of Fe reacts with 2 moles of NiO(OH) to produce 1 mole of Fe(OH)2

It is given that there are:

5.35 moles of Fe

7.65 moles of NiO(OH)

Here the limiting reagent is Fe

Therefore, number of moles of Fe(OH)2 produced is 5.35 moles.
