Which element, under normal circumstances, does not combine chemically with other elements to form compounds?

2 answers:

8 0

That would be the NOBLE GASES (Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon). Because these elements have a filled outer shell (thus giving them the full octet that other elements crave), they are stable elements under normal circumstances and as such resist chemical combination.

Plz note that under special conditions, noble gases such as Xenon and Radon can form compounds (Xenon Fluoride and Oxide; Radon Fluoride)

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog

Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:

If $\Delta \chi=0$ , then the bond is non-polar.
If $\Delta \chi\leq 1.7$ , then the bond will be covalent.
If $\Delta \chi>1.7$ , then the bond will be ionic.

We are given:

Electronegativity for boron = 2.0

Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1

$\Delta \chi=\chi_{H}-\chi_{B}\\\\\Delta \chi=2.1-2.0=0.1$

As, $\Delta \chi$ is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.
