The melting point of potassium = 63.5^{0}C

Melting point of titanium = 1660^{0}C

Titanium has a stronger metallic bonding compared to potassium. Titanium being a transition metal has greater number of valence electrons (4 valence electrons) contributing to the valence electron sea compared to potassium which has only one valence electron. The atomic size of Titanium much lower than that of potassium, so the bonding between Titanium atoms is stronger than that of potassium. Hence, the melting point of Titanium is much higher than that of potassium.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

1. A bond where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in charge imbalance in each atom is called ionic bonding.

2. A bond where electrons are equally shared, resulting in equal numbers of electrons orbiting each atom is called non-polar covalent bond.

3. A bond where electrons are unequally shared, resulting in more electrons orbiting certain atoms than others is called a polar covalent bond.

4. A bond where the electronegativity differences between the atoms within a molecule result in the partially positive atoms of one molecule attracting the partially negative atoms of other molecules is called polar bond and it is part of the covalent bonds.

Explanation:

1. In ionic bonding process, electrons are enterely transferred from one atom to another either losing or gaining negatively charged electrons, and the reacting atoms form ions. A charge imbalance is caused then by the oppositely charged ions, when attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, the basis of the ionic bond.

2. A non-polar covalent bond is occurs when two atoms have same electron afinity to share their electrons equally. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attractionis. This is created in diatomic elements or gas molecules.

3. A polar covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two electrons are unequally shared between two atoms, electrons are not equally shared because one atom spends more time with the electrons than the other atom, resulting in more electrons orbiting certain atoms than others.

4. The polar bond is a type of covalent bonds. This bonds depends on atoms´electronegativity differences. If an atom is less electronegative, it means that the electron distribution or charge is unevenly distributed or polarized and then it becomes partially positive.

Using the trend for chlorine, create a rule for naming halogen oxyacids.
Vlada [557]
All oxayacids have cations so no need to name the cation (H+) If name of polyatomic anion ends in -ate change to -ic for acid and if it ends with -ite change to -ous for acid

example:

ion nitrate is called nitric acid
ion nitrate is called nitrous acid

Levart [38]

B) convection

Explanation:

Once the sun's energy reaches the earth's atmosphere by radiation, it is circulated within the atmosphere and oceans through convection.

The energy of the sun on earth is moved between the ocean and the atmosphere by air around us.

  • Heat transfer in fluids is by convection.
  • It involves the actual motion of the particles of medium from one place to another due to differences in temperature and density.
  • Air close to the surface of the ocean is less dense and hot due to high temperature.
  • The air rises and it is replaced by colder air masses.
  • This exchange leads to the development of convective cells.
  • This moves the energy of the sun between the atmosphere and the ocean surface.
