Why are covalent bonds between hydrogen and nitrogen or oxygen polar? see section 2.1 ( page 57) ?

1 answer:

5 0

A covalent bond is on in which electron pairs are shared between one or more electron pairs between atoms. Polar covalent bonds are so called because the electron density is closer to one atom participating in the bond than to another. The tendency of electron density to be closer to one atom and not the other can be due to the geometry of the bond.

Answer:

have the same number of atoms of each element in the reactants and in the products

Explanation:

The basic principle in balancing a chemical equation would simply be to have the same number of atoms of each element in the reactants and in the products.

A balanced chemical equation is one that has the same number of atoms of each element on the reactant and the product's side of the equation. For example, consider the equation below:

$H_2 + O_2 --> H_2O$

On the reactant's side, there are 2 atoms of H and O while there are 2 atoms of H and 1 atom of O on the product's side. This is an imbalanced equation. In order for it to be balanced, the number of atoms of H and O on the reactant side must be equal to the number of H and O on the product side as below.

$2H_2 + O_2 --> 2H_2O$

If you have 10cm of snow with a volume of 40mL and a density of 0.5 g/mL how many inches of rain is this?

Lelu [443]

Density is the mass of compound divided by its volume can be shown as follows:

$d = 0.5 g /mL = m /V = m /40 = 0.5$

$m = 20 g$

40 mL of snow having 20 g of mass calculated from density.

Now, 10 cm of snow = 3.93 inches = 20 g

As, 10 inches of rain will produce 11 inches of ice as the volume of ice is bigger than rain water.

10 inches rain = 11 inches snow

3.93 inches of snow produced by

$= (3.93 * 10) /11 = 3.57 inches rain.$

Thus, 3.57 incehs of rain produces by 10 cm snow.

Which of the following causes clouds to form? (1 point)

elena-s [515]

The answer is B, early in the morning water covered areas (lakes,ponds,puddles,etc.) will vaporize a little bit because of the heat from the sun and it will continue all day, vapors rise towards the atmosphere and since it's a lot cooler there it will condense into a cloud which is full of tiny frozen water particles. Hope this helps

• An element in group 2, period 4 has similar properties with

babymother [125]

Answer: Elements in Group 2

Explanation: The periodic table was arranged by Dmitri Mendeleev specifically around similarites in their chemical behaviors. He found that as atomic number increases, at some point an element starts to react in a manner similar to a previous one. When that happened, he would place the larger element under the smaller one, and eventually noticed a periodicity in the table. Elements in a column (Groups) had similiar chemical properties. We know today that these similarities are due to the electron configuration, and that these configurations repeat themselves. He left gaps in the table when he could find an existing element with properties similar to others in that group. I big leap of faith, but it worked. Elements for those missing boxes were eventually discovered.
