Describe the difference in structure between beH2 and CaH2

Hello!

BeH₂ is a linear molecule, while CaH₂ is an angular molecule.

The difference between these two molecules is given by the number of electrons they have. Be is in the 2nd period of the Periodic table, and the ion Be⁺² doesn't have any free electron pairs when bonding to H. Ca is in the 4 period of the periodic table, meaning that it has more electrons, and the ion Ca⁺² has two free electron pairs when bonding to H that makes the molecule angular by pushing the bonds at an angle by sterical hindrance.  

Have a nice day!

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Covalent network solids are formed by networks or chains of atoms or molecules held together by covalent bonds. Consists of sp3 hybridized carbon atoms, each bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral array to create a giant network. Examples of network covalent solids include diamond and graphite (both allotropes of carbon), and the chemical compounds silicon carbide and boron-carbide.

Kim is doing an experiment with sound waves. She tested to see how quickly a sound wave could travel through three different mat
Semenov [28]

Answer:

<h2>"The sound wave traveled more quickly through the water than the balloon."</h2>

Explanation:

A sound is produced by <em>vibration. </em>These vibrations are called<u><em> "sound waves."</em></u> In order for sound waves to travel, it needs a particular medium. This medium can either be <em>solid, liquid or gas.</em>

Remember that sound waves travel faster in a <u>"solid medium,"</u> because this matter is denser than the other two. Sound waves travel faster in liquid than in gas, because water is densely packed with particles than gas (such as air).

In the situation above, the answer is "The sound wave traveled more quickly through the water than the balloon." As I've mentioned earlier, sound waves travel faster in liquid than in gas. Thus, the sound waves traveled faster through the glass of water (liquid) than the helium (gas) balloon.

Calculate the molarity of a 23.55-ml solution which contains 28.24 mg of sodium sulfate (used in dyeing and printing textiles, =
Verizon [17]

The first thing to do is to convert the mass of sodium sulfate to moles. Since the given is in milligrams convert it to grams which would be 0.02824 grams. The number of moles can be calculated by dividing the converted weight with the given molar mass which is 139.04 g/mol. The number of mols in the solution is 2.03x10^-4 mols. Then divide the number of moles with 0.02355 L. The molarity of the solution is 0.00862 M.
