The many electron diamonds around the central carbon are 1689
Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.
Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.
Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.
Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend
to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.
Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.
The answer is 16.75 it rounds to 17 Hope this helps! ;D
In an ionic bond, one atom essentially donate an electron to stabilize the other atom. A molecule bond is made when two or more atoms form a chemical bond, linking them together. The two types of bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds.
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Jia observes that adding a solution of sodium hydroxide to a clear liquid turns the liquid pink. She makes a hypothesis about why the liquid changed color.
Which characteristic is least important for her hypothesis to have?
A)ability to be tested
B)based on the opinion of her classmates
C)ability to be proven incorrect
D)based on her current knowledge
Answer:
B)based on the opinion of her classmates
Explanation:
A hypothesis is a supposition or tentative explanation put forward based on minimal evidence. It sometimes sets the pace for further investigation.
Hypothesis is always based on empirical observation and not on popular opinion, hence the opinion of Jia's classmates is least important in Jia's formulation of a hypothesis.
