Answer : The incorrect statements are:

(A) When two nonmetals react, the compound formed is ionic.

(B) Two nonmetals can undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Explanation :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

The two nonmetals can not undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

The metal-nonmetal reaction can always be assumed to be an oxidation-reduction reaction.

For example : $2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)$

In this reaction, sodium shows oxidation because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (+1) and and chlorine shows reduction because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (-1).

Hence, the incorrect statements are, (A) and (B)

The volume of a gas at 17.5 psi decreases from 1.8L to 750mL. What is the new pressure of the gas in arm?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

P₂ = 2.88 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of gas = 1.8 L

Final volume = 750 mL

Initial pressure = 17.5 Psi

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

We will convert the units first:

Initial pressure = 17.5 /14.696 = 1.2 atm

Final volume = 750 mL ×1L/1000L = 0.75 L

The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.2 atm × 1.8 L = P₂ ×0.75 L

P₂ = 2.16 atm. L/ 0.75 L

P₂ = 2.88 atm

Why do non-metal aroms form covalent bonds e.g. H2O

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom. ... Covalent compounds tend to be soft, and have relatively low melting and boiling points.

Which of the following is an example of a compounds?

wlad13 [49]

Answer:b.CaCl2

Explanation:

A compound is a substance resulting when two or more elements are are chemically bonded together either ionically or covalently in a fixed ratio.

From the given options we can see that the only compound there is CaCl2 which is an ionic compound in the fixed ratio of one calcium ion to two chloride ions.

Other options , Cu,Na and Nd are merely pure substance---Elements

Two identical 732.0 L tanks each contain 212.0 g of gas at 293 K, with neon in one tank and nitrogen in the other. Based on the

Vladimir [108]

Answer: (a) Neon, Nitrogen; (b) Neon, Nitrogen; (c) Neon is lower than Nitrogen; (d) It doesn't affect;

Explanation: The kinetic-molecular theory studies the behavior of particles under pre-determinated situation. In cases of gases, the particles moving around colliding with each other and the walls of the container, without loss of energy. In the case in question, all the parameters are the same (same temperature, volume and pressure), except for the gases, which has different molar masses. In this sense, Neon has lower average speed due to its molar mass being higher, which means, its particles moves slower for being heavier. Related to pressure, as velocity is lower, it collides less with the walls of the tank, and so pressure is lower. For density, it doesn't affect the behavior of the system nor the kinetic energy.
