I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)Explain why ionic compounds are always polar.

1 answer:

3 0

Answer and Explanation:

Polar compounds are those that have an unequal sharing of electrons, causing one end to be more positively or negatively charged than the other end.

Ionic compounds are those that are made up of a positive ion and a negative ion. Clearly, we can see that if one ion is positive and the other is negative, then that would make one end of the compound more or less positively charged than the other end, which is exactly the definition of a polar compound.

That is why ionic compounds are always polar.

Iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope. after 8.00 days, 50.2% of a sample of 131i remains. what is the half-life of 131i?

barxatty [35]

The half life of 131 i is 8.06 days

calculation

by use of concentration time equation for radioactive decay

In Nt/No = -Kt

where Nt/No is the fraction of the sample remaining at time T

convert 50.2% in decimal = 50.2/100 = 0.502

therefore = In 0.502 = - K 8.0 t
- 0.689 =-8.0 k
divide both side by 8.0

K = 0.860

t1/2 = 0.693/K

t1/2 = 0.693/0.860 = 8.06 days
