Which of the following compounds contains a double bond? A - NH3 B - CO2 C - N2 D - CI2

Chemistry

6 0

Answer:- B) CO_2

Explanations:- In ammonia, N is the central atom and three H atoms are bonded to it via single bonds.

In carbon dioxide, the central atom is C and two O atoms are bonded to it via double bonds. The reason is, carbon has four valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. To complete the octet, each oxygen makes a double bond with carbon. It looks as O=C=O .

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and to complete its octet, it needs 3 more electrons so both N atoms are bonded to each other via a triple bond.

Cl has 7 valence electrons and needs one more to complete its octet. So, there is a single bond between two Cl atoms.

Hence the right choice is B) CO_2 .

Magnesium chloride is a salt formed with ionic bonds between one magnesium ion and two chloride ions. Magnesium has two electron
katrin [286]

Answer:

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).

The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.

The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to  attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.

The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

What interacted directly with the photographic plates to cause images in Becquerel’s experiment?
Anna [14]
Answer: A. uranium salt

Becquerel made a conclusion that it was the uranium that causes the images found in the photographic plates. Though his theory was disproved during the first time,he continued to develop it. Then, it is through this experiment that Becquerel discovered radioactivity.

If a sample of neon gas at 25.00∘C and 0.500 atm is heated at a constant volume until the pressure is 0.850 atm, what must be th
Pie

Answer:

T₂ = 506.6 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure of gas = 25°C (25+273 =298 K)

Initial temperature = 0.500 atm

Final pressure = 0.850 atm

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

0.500 atm / 298 K = 0.850 atm /T₂

T₂ = 0.850 atm × 298 K / 0.500 atm

T₂ = 253.3 atm. K / 0.500 atm

T₂ = 506.6 K
