Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.

When two species A and B form an electron-pair bond and A does not provide its electrons for bonding, the bond present between A
vichka [17]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

If A does not have electron to bond, it just receives one electron from B.

It can´t be covalent because A don´t have any electrons to bond with B.

A monatomic ideal gas that is initially at 1.50 * 105 Pa and has a volume of 0.0800 m3 is compressed adiabatically to a volume o
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Since the problem involves only two parameters of volume and pressure, the formula for Boyle's law is suitably used.

Using Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 is the initial pressure = 1.5×10^5Pa

V1 is the initial volume = 0.08m3

P2 is the final pressure (required)

V2 is the final volume = 0.04 m3

From the formula, P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = 1.5×10^5 × 0.08 ÷ 0.04

= 300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa.

This compound, an eight-carbon alkane, serves as the 100 octane standard for gasoline. It has five methyl groups, one quaternary
Reika [66]

Answer:

2,2,4-Trimethyl-pentane

Explanation:

Structural characteristics of the compound is as follows:

  • Has five methyl group
  • Has one quaternary carbon
  • No. double bond
  • Gives four monochloro substitution products

Compound must have straight chain of 5 carbons.

Three methyl substituents are attached to 2 and 4 carbons.

Therefore, IUPAC name of the compound will be 2,2,4-Trimethyl-pentane.

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 21 torr at 39.9 degrees C.
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the details, we can say that

Pure methanol is a volatile solvent as the vapour pressure has a high value. This means that methanol - methanol intermolecular forces are weak in comparisson to water - water forces. When having about 30% of water in a methanol mixture, the mixture Pv decreased, showing that it is not a volatile mixture, so then there are strong intermolecular interactions between methanol - water, part of it due to the hydrogen bonds.
