According to picture below, p atomic orbitals overlap are responsible for the π bond between carbon and oxygen.
Both carbon and oxygen have sp2 hybridization in this carbonyl group. Carbon has three sigma bonds with sp2 orbitals and oxygen has one sigma bond with sp2 and two free electron pairs with sp2 orbitals. Pi bonds are formed between two p orbitals.

Name the type of bond between atoms in ammonia molecule. Give a reason for your answer

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between elements that are nonmetals. The ammonium ion, NH+4 , would have covalent bonds because both nitrogen and hydrogen are nonmetals. ... The rest of the bonds all contain electrons from both hydrogen and nitrogen, so they would be considered ordinary covalent bonds.

Calculate the mass % of K in potassium phosphate

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\mathbf{1. \, \,55.26 \, \%; \, \,2. \, \,30.15 \, \% }}$

Explanation:

1. Mass percent of K

$\begin{array}{cccr}\mathbf{Atoms} & \textbf{Contribution} & & \textbf{Subtotal}\\\text{3K} & 3 \times 39.10 & = & 117.30\\\text{1P} & 1 \times 30.97 & = & 30.97\\\text{4O} & 4 \times 16.00 & = &64.00\\& \text{TOTAL} & = & \mathbf{212.27}\\\end{array}$

$\text{Percent K} = \dfrac{\text{117.30 g}}{\text{212.27 g}} \times \, 100\% = \mathbf{55.26 \, \%}\\\text{The percent by mass of potassium is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{55.26 \, \% }}$}$

2. Mass percent of O

$\text{Percent O} = \dfrac{\text{64.00 g}}{\text{212.27 g}} \times \, 100\% = \mathbf{30.15 \, \%}\\\text{The percent by mass of oxygen is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{30.15 \, \% }}$}$
