Explanation:
nuclear fusion yields more energy than nuclear fission and the products of the reaction are not radioactive
Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the
difference in electronegativity.
If, Electronegativity difference is,
Less
than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent Bond
Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent Bond
Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic
For Br₂;
E.N of Bromine = 2.96
E.N of Bromine = 2.96
________
E.N Difference
0.00 (Non Polar Covalent Bond)
For MgS;
E.N of Sulfur = 2.58
E.N of Magnesium = 1.31
________
E.N Difference 1.27 (Ionic Bond)
For SO₂;
E.N of Oxygen = 3.44
E.N of Sulfur = 2.58
________
E.N Difference 0.86 (Polar Covalent Bond)
For KF;
E.N of Fluorine = 3.98
E.N of Potassium = 0.82
________
E.N Difference 3.16 (Ionic Bond)
Result: The Bonds in Br₂ and SO₂ are Covalent in Nature.
Answer:
When atoms join together to form molecules, they are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons between the atoms. It is only the electrons in the outermost shell that ever get involved in bonding.
The sun is made up of two main elements, hydrogen and helium.
- Hydrogen makes up about 92% of all of the atoms in the sun while helium makes up about 7.8%.
- Oxygen, carbon, neon and nitrogen make up most of the remaining 0.2%.
