Hm I’m confused, if you mean what are they weighting, it’s they :)
The test for this is fairly simple.
We take a glowing match or splint near the gas sample, if the glow intensifies, oxygen is present.
If a lit splint or match goes out with a popping sound, this means that hydrogen is present.
<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
Explanation:
Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
An electronegativity of an atom is affected by
- The atomic number of the atom
- Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus
1. In case the electronegativity difference (which is denoted by ΔEN) is less than 0.5 then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent.
</u>
2. In case the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent
</u>
3. In case the ΔEN is more /greater than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>
<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>
- The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
- Another example is the formation of NaCl from sodium (Na),which is a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a nonmetal
Answer:
Explanation:
Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract the electrons when the atom is part of a compound. Electronegativity values generally increase from left to right across the periodic table. The highest electronegativity value is for fluorine.
