Answer:

They are both nuclear reactions that produce energy.

  • Fission is the splitting of heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei.
  • Fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together (this process releases a vast amount of energy)

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy

Rank the members of each set of compounds in order of decreasing ionic character of their bonds. Use partial charges to indicate
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Ionic character

A.  PF₃ > PBr₃ > PCl₃

B. BF₃ > CF₄ > NF₃

C. TeF₄ > BrF₃ > SeF₄

Explanation:

The most electronegative element is fluorine, followed chlorine, phosphorous nitrogen etc.

  • Atoms with high electronegativity tend to form negative ions.
  • Ionic compounds formed between elements with high electronegativity difference.
  • % ionic character is directly proportional to electronegativity difference.
  • According to Pauling Scale E.n for F(4.0), O(3.5), N(3.0), C(2.5), B(2.0), P(2.19), Se(2.55) , Te (2.1), Cl(3.16) and Br(2.96)
  • ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( P and F = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81), (P and Br = 2.96 - 2.19 = 0.77) , (P and Cl = 3.16 - 2.96 = 0.2 )
  • ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( N and F = 4 - 3 = 1), (B and F = 4 - 2 = 2) , (C and F = 4 - 2.5 = 1.5 )
  • ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( Se and F = 4 - 2.55 = 1.45), (F and Te = 4 - 2.1 = 1.9) , (F and Br = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81 )
