Argon has 8 valence electrons. It's atomic number is 18, therefore, in the first shell there are 2, the second has 8 and the third also has eight.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

7.1

Explanation:

equation to calculate pH is

pH=-Log_{10}(a_{H^+})=-Log_{10}(8*10^-8) = -Log_{10}(8)-Log_{10}(10^{-8})=-0.9+8=7.1

Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole
Talja [164]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

  • Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
  • Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
  • First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
  • Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
  • Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
  • Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.

What is the name of CuO? Explain how you determined the bond type and the steps you used to determine the naming convention for
yulyashka [42]

The name of CuO is copper II oxide and its bond type is ionic or electrovalent bond.

<h3>What is electrovalent bond?</h3>

An ionic or electrovalent bond is the type of chemical bond where two atoms or molecules are connected to each other by electrostatic attraction.

This electrostatic attraction is as a result of the transfer of electrons from the metallic element to the non-metal.

According to this question, CuO is a chemical compound consisting of two elements namely; copper and oxygen. The compound name is copper II oxide.

Copper as a metal transfers electrons to oxygen atoms, hence, an ionic bond is formed between the molecules.

A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom.<br> Why?
Kay [80]

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Or

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.
