Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between atoms. This bonding occurs primarily between nonmetals. <span>If atoms have similar electronegativities (the same affinity for electrons), covalent bonds are most likely to occur. Because both atoms have the same affinity for electrons and neither has a tendency to donate them, they share electrons in order to achieve octet configuration and become more stable. </span>

Which of the following molecules would exhibit only London forces?a)CH4, BH3, and CCl4b)H2O, NH3, and CCl4c)PH3, NH3, and CCl4
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄

Explanation:

<u>London dispersion forces:- </u>

The bond for example, in the molecule is F-F, which is non-polar in nature because the two fluorine atoms have same electronegativity values.

The intermolecular force acting in the molecule are induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces which are the weakest intermolecular force.

Out of the given options, H₂O , NH₃ exhibits hydrogen bonding which is:-

<u>Hydrogen bonding:- </u>

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of the dipole-dipole interaction and it occurs between hydrogen atom that is bonded to highly electronegative atom which is either fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom.

Thus option B and C rules out.

<u>Hence, the correct option which represents the molecules which would exhibit only London forces is:- a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄</u>

An atom of uranium-238 undergoes radioactive decay to form an atom of thorium-234. Which type of nuclear decay has occurred?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:-

Alpha decay

Explanation:-

Uranium 238 has atomic number 92 and mass number 238.

Thorium 234 has atomic number 90 and mass number 234.

So, the change in atomic number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234 = 92 – 90 = 2

So, the change in mass number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234= 238 – 234 = 4

We know that when an alpha particle is emitted, the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.

So when an atom of uranium 238 undergoes radioactive decay to form an atom of thorium-234, alpha decay has occurred.

How many moles of methane (CH4) are in 7.31 x 10^25 molecules
Ivan

molar mass of methane CH4

= C + 4 H  

= 12.0 + 4 x 1.008

= 12.0 +  4.032

= 16.042g/mol

7.31 x 10^25 molecules x <u>             1 mole  CH4    </u>  = 121.43 moles

                                       6.02 x 10^23 CH4 molecules

121.43 moles CH4 are present.
