What causes atoms to form covalent bonds?

Sharing of valence electrons.

Explanation:

In a covalent bonds, there is sharing of the valence electrons used in bonding between the two combining species.

The atoms taking part do not have a wide electronegativity difference between them and so they share the valence electrons to complete their octet and ensure their stability.

  • For the formation of this bond type, each of the atom requires a odd or unpaired electrons.
  • Covalent bonds are formed between atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.

To determine the concentration of SO4 2– ion in a sample of groundwater, 100.0 mL of the sample is titrated with 0.0250 M Ba(NO3
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

1.87x10⁻³ M SO₄²⁻

Explanation:

The reaction of SO₄²⁻ with Ba²⁺ (From Ba(NO₃)₂) is:

SO₄²⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) → BaSO₄(s)

<em>Where 1 mole of  SO₄²⁻ reacts per mole of Ba²⁺</em>

<em />

To reach the end point in this titration, we need to add the same moles of Ba²⁺ that the moles that are of SO₄²⁻.

Thus, to find molarity of SO₄²⁻ we need to find first the moles of Ba²⁺ added (That will be the same of SO₄²⁻). And as the volume of the initial sample was 100mL we can find molarity (As ratio of moles of SO₄²⁻ per liter of solution).

<em>Moles Ba²⁺:</em>

7.48mL = 7.48x10⁻³L ₓ (0.0250moles / L) = 1.87x10⁻⁴ moles of Ba²⁺ = Moles of SO₄²⁻

<em>Molarity SO₄²⁻:</em>

As there are 1.87x10⁻⁴ moles of SO₄²⁻ in 100mL = 0.1L, molarity is:

1.87x10⁻⁴ moles of SO₄²⁻ / 0.1L =

Compound Y has the elements C, H, N and O. It's exact mass is 91.0425. Answer the following questions. Isotope Exact Mass 1H 1.0
Talja [164]

Answer:

Six C atoms (C₆); five H atoms (H₅); one N atom (N); no O atoms

Explanation:

The rule of 13 states that the formula of a compound is a multiple n of 13 (the molar mass of CH) plus a remainder r.

MF = CₙHₙ₊ᵣ

Y has a molecular mass of 91 u

91/13 =7r0

The formula can't be C₇H₇ because a hydrocarbon must have an even number of H atoms,

The odd mass and the odd number of H atoms make it reasonable to add an N atom and subtract CH₂ (CH₂ = 14):

C₇H₇ + N - CH₂ = C₆H₅N

Check:

6C = 6 × 12.000 = 72.000 u

5H = 5 ×   1.008 =   5.040

1N =  1 × 14.003 =  <u>14.003    </u>

             TOTAL =   91.043 u

This is excellent agreement with the observed mass of 91.0425 u.

There are six  C atoms (C₆)

There are five H atoms (H₅)

There is    one N atom   (N)

There are no   O atoms.

Hydrogen bonds are in the family of Van der Waals forces. They are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds but they cause interesti
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The answer is B. Van der Waals forces are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds.

Explanation:

In general, if we arrange these molecular forces from the strongest to weakest, it would be like this:

Covalent bonds > Ionic bonds > Hydrogen bonds > Dipole-Dipole Interactions > Van der Waals forces

Covalent bonds are known to have the strongest and most stable bonds since they go deep and into the inter-molecular state. A diamond is an example of a compound with this characteristic bond.

Ionic bonds are the next strongest molecular bond following covalent bonds. This is due to the protons and electrons causing an electro-static force which results to the strong bonds. An example would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl), which when separated is Na⁺ and Cl⁻.

Van der Waals forces, also known as Dispersion forces, are the weakest type of molecular bonds. They are only formed through residual molecular attractions when molecules pass by each other. It doesn't even last long due to the uneven electron dispersion. It can be made stronger by adding more electrons in the molecule. This kind of molecular bonds appear in non-polar molecules such as carbon dioxide.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
