Answer : The correct option is, (A) $NO_2$

Explanation :

Ionic bond : It is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The ionic compound is formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Covalent bond : It is defined as the bond that is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms.

The covalent compound is formed between two non-metals.

(a) $NO_2$

It is a covalent compound in which nitrogen and oxygen are non-metals. The $NO_2$ is formed when one nitrogen atom share their electrons with two oxygen atoms.

(b) $LiCl$

It is an ionic compound in which lithium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal. The $LiCl$ is formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

(c) $AlCl_3$

It is an ionic compound in which aluminum is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal. The $AlCl_3$ is formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

(d) $Na_2S$

It is an ionic compound in which sodium is a metal and sulfur is a non-metal. The $Na_2S$ is formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

Hence, the covalent compound is $NO_2$

Suppose 13.00 mL of 0.100 M barium hydroxide is required to neutralize 17.00 ml of nitric acid with an unknown concentration. Wh

qwelly [4]

To solve for the concentration of nitric acid in mol/L or also M. We use the equation,
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
Where M stands for the molarity and V is for volume. Substituting the known values,
(0.10 M)(13.0 mL) = (M₂)(17 mL)
M₂ = 0.076 M
Thus, the concentration of the nitric acid is approximately 0.076 M.

What is the volume of 2 moles of He at STP?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

STP conditions imply a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 100 kPa. When tose conditions are met, 1 mole of any ideal gas will have a volume of 22.7 L. So, if 1 mole occupies a volume of 22.7 L, 2 moles will occupy a volume twice as big. Likewise, 0.5 moles will occupy half the volume 1 mole occupies. Assuming that the gas is at standard temperature and pressure (STP), one mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L . This means the number of moles of O2 is 222.4=0.089 mol .

How many energy levels? Explain your answer.

Ivanshal [37]

The maximum numbers of electrons possible for the first four energy levels are shown in the Figure above. For example, energy level I can hold a maximum of two electrons, and energy level II can hold a maximum of eight electrons. The maximum number depends on the number of orbitals at a given energy level.
