Define and then describe the difference between a polar covalent bond, nonpolar covalent bond and ionic bond.

1 answer:

3 0

Polar covalent bond- a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.

Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.

Ionic bonds- have such large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.

What is the reason carbon atoms are the most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms?

WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6. So, 4 valence electrons are present.

Therefore, it can form 4 covalent bonds with varying bond angles by sharing its valence electrons.

Catenation is also an important property of carbon. Catenation is bonding with atoms of same element. Carbon skeleton can be formed in any direction and can vary in length, branching, and ring structure.

Elements required for making most of the molecules in living organisms are:

C, H, N, O, P and S

Carbon easily form covalents with other 5 elements.

These properties make carbon most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms.

2. A solvent used in cleaning is found to contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. When a

KIM [24]

mass of C = 0.238 g

mass of H =0.00989 g

mass of Cl = 1.05 g

Explanation:

Determine the masses of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine in the original sample of the solvent.

First we need to calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O)

molar mass of CO₂ = molar mass of C × 1 + molar mass of O × 2

molar mass of CO₂ = 12 × 1 + 16 × 2 = 44 g/mole

molar mass of H₂O = molar mass of H × 2 + molar mass of O × 1

molar mass of H₂O = 1 × 2 + 16 × 1 = 18 g/mole

Now, to find the mass of carbon and hydrogen in the original sample of solvent, we devise the following reasoning:

if 44 g of CO₂ contains 12 g of C

then 0.872 g of CO₂ contains X g of C

X = (0.872 × 12) / 44 = 0.238 g of C

if 18 g of H₂O contains 2 g of H

then 0.089 g of H₂O contains Y g of H

Y = (0.089 × 2) / 18 = 0.00989 g of H

And now, we can find the mass of chlorine:

mass of sample = mass of C + mass of H + mass of Cl

mass of Cl = mass of sample - mass of C - mass of H

mass of Cl = 1.30 - 0.238 - 0.00989

mass of Cl = 1.05 g

Arrange the gases from most dense to least dense at a given temperature and pressure.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Arrange them in order of greatest to least Molar Mass to get most dense to least dense at a given temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

"Given Temperature and Pressure" just tells you that those two variables are being held constant. The Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT) shows that n (the # of moles) and V (the volume) are variable still. To keep pressure constant, we need to increase the volume so that the force per area is the same which would unfortunately lower the density. The only way for a gas to have the greatest density would be to have the least average kinetic energy to keep the pressure constant at a smaller volume. This is because kinetic energy is equal to KE = 1/2 m v^2, where m is mass in kilograms and v is the velocity. IT IS CRUCIAL TO NOTE THAT ACCORDING TO KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY, ALL GASES HAVE THE SAME AVG. KINETIC ENERGY WHEN AT THE SAME TEMPERATURE. So since the avg. KE is also constant across these answers due to the temp. being constant, our only way to decrease the velocity (the rate at which the particles are moving per second) and in turn the number of collisions (to repeat, a smaller number of collisions is desired because they are equal to the pressure that must maintained at a constant value at the smallest volume possible to achieve highest density possible) is to increase the molar mass. This is also pretty intutive for the other part of the issue: since Density is a broken heart (m/v), a higher molar mass would ensure a smaller pressure (due to decreased velocity) and smaller volume (due to constant pressure). Okay, now order the gases heaviest to lightest in terms of molar mass and you got your answer. Please gimme brainliest if this helped bc it took 15 minutes to type out. Hope this helped you! :D
