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.

how much heat will be absorbed by 25g of chloroform when its temperature started at 67.0C and after it was 112.0C
snow_tiger [21]

Hello friend ☺

ΔH = MCΔT

ΔH = to the amount of energy or change in energy (J)

mass of water

C = waters specific heat capacity

ΔT = change in temperature

and so ΔH = 25 × 4.18 × ( 112-67 ) J = 4702.5 J

Thanks ❤

How does radioactive isotopes decay?
aksik [14]
They can decay through one of three ways: 
alpha decay
beta decay and
gamma decay
ALPHA- particle with two neutrons and two protons is ejected from the nucleus of the radioactive atom. this particle released is called an alpha particle. Only occurs with heavy metals.
BETA- pretty much when a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vise versa. in a beta minus decay, the nuetron decays into a proton and in a beta plus decay, a proton decays into a neutron
GAMMA- the nucleus changes from a high energy state to a low energy state by releasing electromagnetic radiation (photons). the number of protons and neutrons stay the same during this reaction therefore the element is still the same.

What is the mass of 2.0 moles of CO2
igor_vitrenko [27]
1 mol of CO2 is 44.01g/mol
So multiply that by 2 to get 2 mol of CO2, which is 88.02g
