What is the best definition of polar covalent bond?

2 answers:

8 0

A polar covalent bond is a specific type of covalent bond, where the distribution or the sharing of valence electrons among the atoms involved in the bond are not the same and or equal. There is a greater pull of electron density to one atom than that of the other causing atoms to experience a partial positive and negative charge.

The electronegativity difference is typically large between the atoms that show polar bonding.

Most acid precipitation results from the combination of _____ with water in the atmosphere, forming strong acids that fall with

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Most acid precipitation results from the combination of <u>Sulfur Oxides and Nitrogen Oxides</u> with water in the atmosphere, forming strong acids that fall with rain or snow.

Explanation:

Acid rain is said to be that rain which contains high concentration of H⁺ ions. The main source of acid rain is the elimination of NOₓ (Nitrogen Oxides) and SOₓ (Sulfur Oxides) from different means in industries and other combustion processes on earth.

Examples:

SO₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₄

NO₂ + OH° → HNO₃

From above examples it can be seen that the sulfur and nitrogen oxides when reacted with water forms strong acids. These acids come along with rain water and causes different problems to living organisms and non living objects like buildings.

Lithium (Li) and oxygen (O) are both in period 2. They both have _____.

AlladinOne [14]

They both have two electron shells

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The period 2 element lies in the second row of the periodic system.

Consists of the elements: lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon

Lithium (Li)

atomic number : 3

electron configuration : [He] 2s¹

atomic number = number of proton=number of electron(in neutral atom)

So Li have 3 protons and 3 electrons

Because it fills the 2s orbital it has 2 shells

Oxygen (O)

atomic number : 8

electron configuration : [He] 2s²2p⁴

So O have 8 protons and 8 electrons

Because it fills the 2s and 2p orbital it has 2 shells

So Lithium (Li) and Oxygen (O) are both have two electron shells

An atom of 125Sn has a mass of 124.907785 amu. Calculate the binding energy in MeV per atom. Use the masses: mass of 1H atom = 1

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1.06×10³ MeV/atom

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Also, atomic number of Sn = 5 0

Thus, the number of protons = 50

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

125 = 50 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 75

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu

Mass of proton = 1.007825 amu

Calculated mass = Number of protons*Mass of proton + Number of neutrons*Mass of neutron

Thus,

Calculated mass = (50*1.007825 + 75*1.008665) amu = 126.041125 amu

Given mass = 124.907785 amu

<u>Mass defect = Δm = |126.041125 - 124.907785| amu = 1.13334 amu </u>

The conversion of amu to MeV is shown below as:-

1 amu = 931.5 MeV

<u>So, Energy = 1.13334*931.5 MeV/atom = 1.06×10³ MeV/atom</u>
