How can the partial charges be shown in a polar covalent molecule?

1 answer:

Δ, namely δ− or δ+. Partial chargesare created due to the asymmetric distribution of electrons in chemical bonds. For example, in a polar covalent bond like HCl, the shared electron oscillates between the bonded atoms.

Hope my answer would be a great help for you. If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

Ultra Clorox bleach is 6.68% sodium hypochlorite in water. How much of each is needed to make an 800.mL bottle?

sweet-ann [11.9K]

If we have 6.68% NaClO, it is the same as saying--> 6.68 grams NaClO= 100 mL of solution. we can use this as a conversion.

800. mL (6.68 mL/ 100 mL)= 53.4 mL

solution = solute + solvent

solute= NaClO
solvent= H2O

solvent= 800-53.4= 747 mL of H2O

so, we you need 53.4 mL of NaClO and 747 mL of water or 53.4 grams of NaClO and 747 mL of water

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Classify each element. Note that another term for main group is representative, another term for semi-metal is metalloid, and the inner transition metals are also called the lanthanide and actinide series.

Hf, Am, In, Ta, As, Se, Rn

Answer:

Hafnium and tantalum are transition elements.

Americium is a inner transition element.

Indium, Selenium and Radon are main group elements.

Arsenic is a metalloid.

Explanation:

Main group elements are the elements which belong to s block and p block. They are also known as representative elements.

S-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters s-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $ns^{1-2}$

P-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters p-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $np^{1-6}$

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show intermediate properties between metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are: Boron, Silicon, germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Polonium.

Transition elements are known as d-block elements. D block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters d sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $[(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}]$

Inner transition elements are known as (f block) elements. (F block) elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters (f subshell). The general electronic configuration of these elements is $[(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-1}ns^{2}]$ . They are also known as lanthanide and actinide series.

For the given elements:

Option 1: Hf

Hafnium is the 72nd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^26s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

Option 2: Am

Americium is the 95th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Rn]5f^{7}6d^07s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the (f subshell), it is a inner transition element.

Option 3: In

Indium is the 49th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^25p^1$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Option 4: Ta

Tantalum is the 73rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^56s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

Option 5: As

Arsenic is the 33rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^24p^3$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element. It shows an intermediate property of metal and non-metal. Thus, it is a metalloid.
