I don’t know what the “cheater” way is, however you can easily judge how many valence electrons an element has by looking at its group number on the periodic table.

Bonding in chemistry is completely and totally due to electrons. Every element wants 8 electrons in its outer shell in order to be stable. This is what we call the “Octet Rule”.

How much water should be added to 4.3 moles of LiBr to prepare a 2.05 m solution?
arsen [322]

Answer:

2.1 kg of water

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Moles of lithium bromide (solute): 4.3 moles
  • Molality of the solution (m): 2.05 m (2.05 mol/kg)
  • Mass of water (solvent): ?

Step 2: Calculate the mass of water required

Molality is equal to the moles of solute divided by the kilograms of solvent.

m = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent

kilograms of solvent = moles of solute/m

kilograms of solvent = 4.3 mol /(2.05 mol/kg) = 2.1 kg

Which pair of atoms has the most polar bond?<br> (1) H−Br <br> (2) H−Cl <br> (3) I−Br<br> (4) I−Cl
S_A_V [24]
For the question given above, option 2 which is H-Cl pair of atoms has the most polar bond among the four of them. 

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. <span>Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.</span>
