Answer:

A) The arrangement of bonded atoms.

B) Number of Ionic bonds.

Explanation

The structural formula shows the bonding and general layout of the molecule.

Several molecules can have the same molecular formular especially in the branch of chemistry.

However each compound would always have a distinct way of bonding. By drawing out the structural formular of a molecule, we are pretty much just showing the arrangement of the bonded atoms. That is the primary detail in which a structural formular reveals.

Metallic bonds are generally bonds between metals and that can be obtained by checking if the compound has a metal.

Ionic bonds are bonds that result from the transfer of electrons between a metal and a non metal. By looking at the way the atoms are bonded, we can tell if that bond is an ionic or covalent. This is a secondary information revealed by the structural formula.

Shapes of Molecular orbitals are given by the molecular orbital diagrams and not the structural formular.

Answer : Option A) the arrangement of bonded atoms.

Explanation : A structural formula of certain molecule depicts the way the atoms are arranged in that particular molecule in any polyatomic species. It helps in deciding the chemical properties of that polyatomic molecule.

In a reaction of a potential new fuel, it is found that when 2.81 moles of the fuel combusts, 1,612 kJ of energy is released. Wh

Tema [17]

Answer:

-573.67

Explanation:

whenever energy is released in a chemical reaction, we would then expect the delta H of the reaction to be negative because the reaction is an exothermic reaction.

now we have that 2.81 moles of fuel when it combusts would releases 1612kJ of energy

thus, 1 mole will release 1612/2.81 = -573.67kJ of heat

Therefore the delta H of the reaction = -573.67 kJ/mol

How much potassium chloride is needed to make 0.500 m solution with 1.50 L of water?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

55.9 g KCl.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of molality for the 0.500-molar solution, we need to divide the moles of solute (potassium chloride) over the kilograms of solvent as shown below:

$m=\frac{mol}{kilograms}$
