Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom to make an ion with a charge of -1.

The halogens have some of the highest electron affinities. Therefore, Br is one example.

Why can't methanol, CH3OH, be used as a solvent for sodium amide, NaNH2? Sodium amide is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Sodium
Elodia [21]

Answer: sodium amide undergoes an acid -base reaction

Explanation:

sodium amide is a ionic compound and basically exists as sodium cation and amide anion. Amide anion is highly basic in nature and hence as soon as  there is amide anion generated in the solution , Due to its very pronounced acidity it very quickly abstracts the slightly acidic proton available on methanol.

This leads to formation of ammonia and sodium methoxide.

Hence sodium amide reacts with methanol and abstracts its only acidic proton and form ammonia and sodium Methoxide.

Hence the 3rd statement is a corrects statement.

So we cannot use methanol for sodium amide because sodium amide itself would react with methanol and the inherent molecular natur of sodium amide would then change.

The 1st and 2nd statements both are incorrect because both the compounds methanol as well as sodium amide have dipole moments and hence are polar molecules.

The 4th statement is also incorrect as both the molecules have dipole moment and hence there would be ion-dipole forces operating between them.

The following reaction occurs:

NaNH₂+CH₃OH→NH₃+CH₃ONa

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: Scientific reasoning

Explanation:

A scientific reasoning can be defined as the justification which connects the evidence with that of the claim and it rules out all those claims that are not supported by any evidence. It explains the fact that how evidence can support a claim and scientifically acceptable conclusion can be drawn. An argument is always based on one or more claims which can either be true or evidentially proved.
