What makes a compound a strong acid or base

1 answer:

3 0

If the acid is 100 percent dissociated in solutions of 1.0 M or less, it is called strong. Sulfuric acid is considered strong only in its first dissociation step; 100 percent dissociation isn't true as solutions become more concentrated.

Oxygen and nitrogen are both gases at room temperature. Explain why oxygen has a greater force of attraction between its particl

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen molecules and Nitrogen molecules forms in a very similar way. The attraction between particles of oxygen is great due to its very high electronegativity value. Oxygen has a higher electronegative value compared to nitrogen.

Electronegativity of an atom is the relative tendency with which atoms of an element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond. Valence electrons are used in forming chemical bonds. They can be transferred from one atom to the other or they can be shared.

Oxygen is the second most electronegative atom on the periodic table. To form a bond, it shares the valence electrons in order for its octet to be complete. Pull for the valence electrons between the contributing atoms is very strong due to their large electronegative values. This pull is stronger compared to that between nitrogen atoms.

How many polar bonds are found in this molecule

Law Incorporation [45]

A bond is non polar if it is between same atoms and polar if it is between different atoms.

Same atoms are like two dogs of same strength pulling a bone towards towards each other. But when it’s different atoms it’s like a big dog and small dog then the bone is more towards bigger dog. So it’s the same way in bonds.

Bonds are made up of electrons, when the more stronger pulling atom is present than other the electrons are more towards it and as a result we have polar bond. There is development of a kind of a negative pole and a positive pole.

The stronger atom has electrons towards itself so it has a little more negative charge while the other atom has positive charge. This makes bond polar.

So just look for bond between two different atoms, it would be polar.

Look at the pic below to see the answer.

Marked with green is bond between same atoms... one carbon and another carbon so it is not polar and test marked with blue are polar.

Well the answer should have been 10 but since the bonds at 3 and 8 are two of same type we count only one of them.

The answer is 8... well the answer should be 10 otherwise... discuss it with ur teacher

8.8 Why do esters with higher molecular mass not have strong fragrances?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Basically, fragrances reach other person through sense of smell. So, the strength of the fragrances depends a lot on its evaporation, which is strongly related to the boiling point. Esters with higher molecular weight do not have a strong fragrance because it has a higher boiling point.

A mechanical pencil has a mass of 47.4 grams. The volume of the pencil is 15.8 cubic centimeters. What is the density of the pen

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Density = mass over volume
so
