Although there exists a dipole moment in the molecule, I guess its nonpolar because the dipole is very small as the electronegativity difference between the Br and Cl is very low and so it can be neglected.

Answer:

BrCl₅ is an asymmetrical molecule because it has one lone pair and five atoms bonded to the central atom. Due to low difference of electronegativities, BrCl₅ is a nonpolar molecule.

Explanation:

According to the Linus Pauling scale, the difference between their electronegativities Δx can be determined if the link will be:

  • polar: 0 ≤ Δx ≤ 0.4
  • nonpolar: 0.5 ≤ Δx ≤ 1.6
  • ionic: 1.7 ≤ Δx ≤ 2.0

Br-Cl bonds are nonpolar because the difference between their electronegativities is:

Br: 2.96

Cl: 3.16

Δx= 3.16 - 2.96 = 0.2

BrCl₅ has nonpolar bonds.

Convert 675 nanograms to milligrams.
STALIN [3.7K]

675 nanograms is equivalent to 6.75 × 10-⁴ milligrams.

<h3>How to convert nanograms to milligrams?</h3>

Nanograms is a unit of mass equal to 0.000000001 grams and has a symbol of ng.

On the other hand, milligrams is another unit of mass equal to 0.001grams and has a symbol of mg.

Nanograms and milligrams are both units of mass and can be inter-convertible as follows:

1 nanogram = 1 × 10-⁶ milligram

According to this question, 675 nanograms is equivalent to 675 × 10-⁶ milligrams.

Therefore, 675 nanograms is equivalent to 6.75 × 10-⁴ milligrams.

What is the mass of 18.0 mL of honey if its' density is 1.42 g/mL?
BigorU [14]

mass (m) = ? , volume = 18.0 ml , density = 1.42 g/ml .

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\  \\ d =  \frac{m}{v}  \\  \\ mass = density \times volume \\  \\ m = d \times v \\  \\ m = 18 \: ml \times  \: 1.42 \:  \frac{g}{ml}  \\  \\ m = 25.56 \: g

Why is there a bond between the ions in potassium chloride
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the two atoms are in contact, potassium transfers its outer electron to chlorine which readily accepts it, resulting in both atoms achieving a state of eight outermost electrons. With this electron transfer, the ionic bond in KCl is formed.

Hope this helped!!!
