Is nitrogen triiodide an ionic compound or covalent compound?

Chemistry
2 answers:
DerKrebs [107]2 years ago
8 0

<u>Answer:</u> The given compound is a covalent compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Covalent compound is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound. These are usually formed when two non-metals react.

An ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom. These are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

We are given:

A chemical compound having chemical name as nitrogen triiodide.

This compound is formed by the combination of nitrogen and iodine atoms. Both these elements are non-metals and thus form covalent compound.

The chemical formula for the given compound is NI_3

Hence, the given compound is a covalent compound.

The intermolecular forces present in CH 3NH 2 include which of the following? I. dipole-dipole II. ion-dipole III. dispersion IV
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

I. dipole-dipole

III. dispersion

IV. hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are weak attraction force joining nonpolar and polar molecules together.

London Dispersion Forces are weak attraction force joining non-polar and polar molecules together. e.g O₂, H₂,N₂,Cl₂ and noble gases. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a non -polar molecule sometimes becomes polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant.

Dispersion forces are the weakest of all electrical forces that act between atoms and molecules. The force is responsible for liquefaction or solidification of non-polar substances such as noble gas an halogen at low temperatures.

Dipole-Dipole Attractions are forces of attraction existing between polar molecules ( unsymmetrical molecules) i.e molecules that have permanent dipoles such as HCl, CH3NH2 . Such molecules line up such that the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another.

Dipole - Dipole attractions are more stronger than the London dispersion forces but weaker than the attraction between full charges carried by ions in ionic crystal lattice.

Hydrogen Bonding is a dipole-dipole intermolecular attraction which occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to highly electronegative elements such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine. The highly electronegative elements have very strong affinity for electrons. Hence, they attracts the shared pair of electrons in the covalent bonds towards themselves, leaving a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the electronegative atom ( nitrogen in the case of CH3NH2 ) . This attractive force is know as hydrogen bonding.

Question 2
andrezito [222]

Answer:

A.  Peroxide breaking down into water and oxygen

Explanation:

Generally when it comes to changes, there are physical and chemical changes. In physical changes, there are no new substances been formed, however in chemical change new substances are formed.

A.  Peroxide breaking down into water and oxygen

This is a chemical change.

B . Bubbles forming when a pot of water is heated

This is a physical change

C. A pair of jeans soaked in water drying after hanging outside

This is a physical change

D . A block of ice decreasing in size due to a change in temperature

This is a physical change.

Only option A is different from the rest,hence this is the answer.

What is the equilibrium constant of a reaction
Svetach [21]

Homogeneous Reactions. At equilibrium, the rate of the forward and reverse reaction are equal, which is demonstrated by the arrows. The equilibrium constant, however, gives the ratio of the units (pressure or concentration) of the products to the reactants when the reaction is at equilibrium.
