Covalent compounds do not conduct electric current in a water solution well because they do not dissociate into ions.
mariarad [96]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

A covalent compound is defined as a compound formed due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

As we know that like dissolves like. So, when a covalent compound is added to water then it will not dissociate into ions. Hence, it will not dissolve due to which it will not conduct electricity.

Since, we know that electricity is the flow of ions or electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that covalent compounds do not conduct electric current in a water solution well because they do not dissociate into ions.

Write the ionic charges (such as Ca2+) and chemical formulas and fill-in the table below.
Vikentia [17]

1) Lithium and fluorine:

Ionic charges: lithium cation Li⁺ and fluorine anion F⁻.

Chemical formula LiF.

In ionic salt lithium fluoride (LiF), fluorine has electronegativity approximately χ = 4 and lithium χ = 1 (Δχ = 4 - 1; Δχ = 3).

Fluorine attracts electron and it has negative charge and lithium has positive charge.

2) Beryllium and oxygen:

Ionic charges cation Be²⁺ and anion O²⁻.

Chemical formula is BeO.

Beryllium is metal from group 2 and oxygen is nonmetal from group 16.

Electron configuration of beryllium: ₄Be: 1s² 2s², it has two valence electrons in 2s orbital.

Beryllium lose two electrons and to gain electron configuration as noble gas helium (He).

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen gain two valence electron to form anion with stable electron configuration as noble gas neon (atomic number 10).

3) Magnesium and fluorine:  

Ionic charges cation Mg²⁺ and anion F⁻.

Chemical formula is MgF₂.

Magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) is salt, ionic compound.  

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).  

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.  

Fluorine (F) is nonmetal with greatest electronegativity, which means it easily gain electrons.  

Fluorine has atomic number 9, which means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons. It gain one electron to form fluorine anion (F⁻) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.  

4) Aluminum and chlorine:  

Ionic charges cation Al³⁺ and anion Cl⁻.

Chemical formula is AlCl₃.

The right name for AlCl₃ is aluminium chloride.

Aluminium chloride is a salt with ionic bonds.

Aluminium (metal from group 13) has oxidation number +3 and chlorine (nonmetal from group 17) has oxidation number -1, chemical compound has neutral charge (+3 + 3 · (-1) = 0).

5) Beryllium and nitrogen:  

Ionic charges cation Be²⁺ and anion N³⁻.

Chemical formula is Be₃N₂.

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7, it has 7 protons and 7 electrons.

Electron configuration of nitrogen atom: ₇N 1s² 2s² 2p³.

Nitrogen gain three electrons to form anion with stable electron configuration as noble gas neon (atomic number 10).

A scientist needs to collect a 0.050 mole sample of helium, but needs to know how large his helium container should be. What vol
Mumz [18]

We can use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

P = 202.6kPa = 202600 Pa (You have to multiply by 1000)

n = 0.050 mole

R = 0.082 atm*l/(K*mol)

T = 400K

We will have to convert from Pa to atm or viceversa.

101325 Pa________1 atm

202600 Pa________x = 2.00 atm

2atm*V = 0.050 mole*0.082 atm*l/(K*mol)* 400K

V = 0.050 mole*0.082 atm*l/(K*mol)* 400K/2atm = 0.82 liters = 820 mililiters

ethanol is a common laboratory solvent and has a density of 0.789 g/mL. what is the mass, in grams, of 151 mL of ethanol
natta225 [31]
<em>V = 151 mL = 151 cm³</em>
<em>d = 0,789 g/mL = 0,789 g/cm³</em>
--------------------------------------

d = m/V
m = d×V
m = 0,789×151
<u>m = 119,139g</u>
