Answer:
(a) Ionic
(b) Nonpolar covalent
(c) Polar covalent
(d) Polar covalent
(e) Nonpolar covalent
(f) Polar covalent
<em>For those substances with polar covalent bonds, which has the least polar bond?</em> NO₂
<em>For those substances with polar covalent bonds, which has the most polar bond?</em> BF₃
Explanation:
<em>Are the bonds in each of the following substances ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent?</em>
The nature of a bond depends on the modulus of the difference of electronegativity (|ΔEN|) between the atoms that form it.
- If |ΔEN| = 0, the bond is nonpolar covalent.
- If 0 < |ΔEN| ≤ 2, the bond is polar covalent.
- If |ΔEN| > 2, the bond is ionic.
<em>(a) KCl</em> |ΔEN| = |EN(K) - EN(Cl)| = |0.8 - 3.0| = 2.2. The bond is ionic.
<em>(b) P₄</em> |ΔEN| = |EN(P) - EN(P)| = |2.1 - 2.1| = 0.0. The bond is nonpolar covalent.
<em>(c) BF₃</em> |ΔEN| = |EN(B) - EN(F)| = |2.0 - 4.0| = 2.0. The bond is polar covalent.
<em>(d) SO₂</em> |ΔEN| = |EN(S) - EN(O)| = |2.5 - 3.5| = 1.0. The bond is polar covalent.
<em>(e) Br₂</em> |ΔEN| = |EN(Br) - EN(Br)| = |2.8 - 2.8| = 0.0. The bond is nonpolar covalent.
<em>(f) NO₂</em> |ΔEN| = |EN(N) - EN(O)| = |3.0 - 3.5| = 0.5. The bond is polar covalent.
Answer:
Thermal decomposition or cracking
Explanation:
Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.
Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.
When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.
Example is given below:
C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
