Answer:
a. Polar
b. Polar
c. Non-polar
d. Non-polar
Explanation:
a.
, hydronium cation contains a positive charge. Just as any other ion, it is polar, as it has a net charge.
b.
has the same shape as water. There are two lone pairs on sulfur atom which produce an overall dipole moment in this molecule, the bent structure is polar.
c.
is non-polar, as the central atom, phosphorus, doesn't contain any lone pairs, all the dipole moments cancel out: two dipole moments in the vertical plane, P-Cl, and three P-Cl dipoles in the horizontal plane within a trigonal bipyramidal shape.
d.
is non-polar, since it's a tetrahedral molecule with no lone pairs on carbon atom, all four C-F dipole moments cancel out to yield a net 0 dipole moment.
Answer:
adding coefficient
Explanation:
To balance a chemical equation we have to place coefficients as needed in front of the symbols or formulas so the same number of each type of atom occurs in both reactants and products
Answer:
Se⁻²
Explanation:
Even though the atom is not shown, we can consult the periodic table. Selenium (Se) is in group 6 and period 4, so it has 6 valence electrons. To be stable, the atom must have a noble gas configuration with 8 valence electrons, thus, selenium must gain 2 electrons.
When an atom gain electrons, it is negatively charged, because electrons have a negative charge. So, the ion formed is Se⁻².
Answer:
C
Explanation:
magnesium + chlorine arrow magnesium chloride.
Mg(s) + Cl2(g) = MgCl2(s)
