Answer:

A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus

Explanation:

Covalent bond is the bond which is formed with the sharing of the electrons between the two atoms which are taking part in the bond. It is generally formed between the atoms with similar electronegativity values.
It is the bond which is generally occurs within non metals as they share electrons to complete their octet.
The difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms involving in a covalent bond must not exceed the value of 1.7 .

Thus, the electrons are attracted by the two different nucleus of the atoms that are taking part in the bonding.

So, the correct answer is:- A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus

#1: How are the elements arranged in the modern periodic table?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

1- The correct answer is C :

the elements arranged in the modern periodic table by increasing atomic number.

The explanation:

-The elements in the periodic table are arranged to increase the atomic number. All of these elements display several other trends and we can use the periodic law and table formation to predict their chemical, physical, and atomic properties.

2- The correct answer is C:

strontium, magnesium, calcium, beryllium are the elements which have similar properties.

The explanation:

-strontium, magnesium, calcium, beryllium, these belong to the alkaline earth metal group.

Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties .

3- The correct answer is A :

Potassium

The explanation:

-The elements potassium and sodium have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons and form +1 ions.

4- The correct answer is D

The explanation:

Mendeleev didn't include helium, neon, and argon in his periodic table because these elements had not yet been discovered.

5- The correct answer is B:

The periodic law describes trends seen across periods within the periodic table.

The explanation:

When the chemical elements are arranged, there is a pattern called the “periodic law” in their properties, in which elements in the same column (group) have similar properties

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+

eimsori [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

Option a: $Ag^+$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

Option b: $Pb$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Pb^{2+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

$Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V$

Option c: $H_2$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $H^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

$H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V$

Option d: $Ag$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Ag^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

$Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V$

Option e: $Mg^{2+}$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.

What is the molarity if I take 10mL of 20 volumes Hydrogen Peroxide?

Kryger [21]

Answer:

1.635 M

Explanation:

Given:

10 mL of 20 volumes Hydrogen Peroxide

Here,

20 volumes of Hydrogen Peroxide means that on decomposition of 1 mL of H₂O₂ 20 mL of O₂ is obtained

also,

means 1 dm³ of H₂O₂ solution produces 20 dm³ oxygen

Now,

at 298K and 1 atm

20 dm³ oxygen = $\frac{\textup{20}}{\textup{24.47}}$ moles

= 0.817 moles

also,

2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂

thus,

1 dm³ of solution must contain 2 × moles of O₂ as moles of H₂O₂

thus,

Number of moles of H₂O₂ = 2 × 0.817

Number of moles of H₂O₂ = 1.635 moles

Hence,

For 20 volume hydrogen peroxide is 1.635 M
