Why are covalently bonded materials generally less dense than metallically or ionically bonded ones

Chemistry
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

It is known that ionic compounds are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another. And, during this type of bonding there occurs long range of bonding structure due to the nature of ionic bonds.

As these also contain opposite charge hence, they are more tightly packed with each other.

Whereas in covalent bonding the atoms tend to share electrons due to which they are not tightly packed with each other. As a result, empty spaces are created between the bonding structure which tends to reduce the density of the material.

Therefore, covalently bonded materials generally less dense than metallically or ionically bonded ones.

What is the temperature of CO2 gas if the average speed (actually the root-mean-square speed) of the molecules is 750 m/s?
erastova [34]

Answer:

992.302 K

Explanation:

V(rms) = 750 m/s

V(rms) = √(3RT / M)

V = velocity of the gas

R = ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature of the gas

M = molar mass of the gas

Molar mass of CO₂ = [12 + (16*2)] = 12+32 = 44g/mol

Molar mass = 0.044kg/mol

From

½ M*V² = 3 / 2 RT

MV² = 3RT

K = constant

V² = 3RT / M

V = √(3RT / M)

So, from V = √(3RT / M)

V² = 3RT / M

V² * M = 3RT

T = (V² * M) / 3R

T = (750² * 0.044) / 3 * 8.314

T = 24750000 / 24.942

T = 992.302K

The temperature of the gas is 992.302K

Note : molar mass of the gas was converted from g/mol to kg/mol so the value can change depending on whichever one you use.
