Answer:

Covalent Bonding

Explanation:

P4O10 is a chemical compound generally known as Phosphorus pentoxide, derived from its empirical formula P2O5. P4O10 is technically called tetraphosphorus decaoxide, but under normal conditions it only exists as the dimer of P2O5, which is phosphorus (V) oxide, or phosphorus pentaoxide.

P4010 consists of two elements; phosphorus and oxygen. P4O10 is a covalent compound. This is because Phosphorous and Oxygen are both nonmetals, the bond formed is as a result of sharing of electrons.

Are the fragments all the same size or shape
WINSTONCH [101]
Hey there! I believe this statement is False. No two fragments are exactly the same size, and all fragments vary on the density of the material, the speed at which it broke off of the material, and the amount of it that hit the ground. Because of this, some people may say "Oh, this is the same size as this," but in reality, nothing is exactly the same size. At least, on a molecular level. So the statement above is false.

Hope this helped!

Thanks!

Which pair of elements is most apt to form an ionic compound with each other?
sweet [91]
Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed together by a cation and an anion. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. For example, Na+ and Ca2+. An ion has a negative charge, like Cl- and OH-. There is a greater chance of forming an ionic compound when they have a great difference in electronegativity, the ability to attract electrons toward itself. In the periodic table, elements that are opposite to each other, more likely found in opposite sides, would be more apt to form an ionic compound. Example would be NaCl and CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2.

List the substances Ar, Cl2, CH4, and CH3COOH, in order of increasing strength of intermolecular attractions. List the substance
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction:

CH_3COOH > Cl_2 > CH_4 > Ar

Explanation:

CH_3COOH can form hydrogen bond as H atom is attached with electronegative atom O.

Rest three, Cl_2,  CH_4,  Ar are non-polar molecules.

In non-polar molecules, van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attractions exist. Hydrogen bonding is stronger intermolecular attraction then van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attraction, hence, CH_3COOH has strongest intermolecular attractions.

Ar will have least intermolecular attraction, as it behaves almost as ideal gas and there is no intermolecular attraction exist between molecules of ideal gases.

Molecular size and mass of Cl_2 is high as compared to CH_4.

van der Waals intermolecular forces of attraction increases with increase in size.

Therefore,

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction will be:

CH_3COOH > Cl_2 > CH_4 > Ar
