Describe the electron distribution in a polar-covalent bond and it's effect on the partial charges of the compound?

Chemistry

Artemon [7]3 years ago

Answer:

In polar Covalent bonds, the electrons which are in bonded shifts towards an atom which has more valance electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We know if an atom takes the electron it acquires a negative charge whereas if it gives an electron it acquires a positive charge in the ionic bond. But here we are talking about covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are those in which atoms share the electron instead of completely giving off the electron. If the atoms are identical in case of covalent bond that is 2 hydrogen atoms then this type of bonding is called pure covalent bonds but if the atoms linked in covalent bonds are different then it is called polar covalent bonds.

In this, the bonding electrons will shift towards an atom which has more valence electron thereby acquiring the partial negative charges and the other atom will acquire a partial positive charge. For example, HCl. In this the Chlorine atom is having more valence electron than hydrogen atom, and hence Chlorine atom has a partial negative charge and Hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge.

What is the charge of 5protons 6 neutrons and 5 electrons
Darya [45]

Answer:  

In this case the mass number would be 11.

Explanation:

The mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons. The number of neutrons for a given element is the only number that can change and still have the identity of the element stay the same, (because the atomic number is the number of protons).

Which statement correctly describes potassium iodide, KI? There is a one-to-one ratio of potassium ions to iodide ions. Potassiu
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The answer is there is a one-to-one ratio of potassium ions to iodide ions.

Explanation :

- (K) belongs to Alkali metals in group (1A) that contains (1) electron in the outermost energy level, whereas, (I) is from halogens in group (7A) that contains (7) electron in the outermost energy level.

- To achieve stability, both atoms tend to reach the nearest noble state (outermost level occupies 8 electrons). Therefore, (K) loses its outer electron and gives it to (I) which now has a completely filled outer level and an ionic bond is formed between the two.

- The valency (number of electrons lost, gained or shared) of both atoms is equal ”monovalent” which means one-to-one ratio..

What is the concentration of a 0.750 l solution that contains 52.0 g of glucose (c6h12o6)?
vodka [1.7K]
Concentration of Solutions is oftenly expressed in Molarity. Molarity is the number of moles of solute dissolved per volume of solution.

                             Molarity  =  Moles / Volume
As,
      Moles  =  Mass / M.mass
So,
                             Molarity  =  Mass / M.mass × Volume   ---- (1)

Data Given;
                   Volume  =  0.750 L

                   Mass  =  52 g

                   M.mass  =  180 g/mol

Putting Values in eq.1,

                     Molarity  =  52 g ÷ (180 g.mol⁻¹ × 0.750 L)

                     Molarity  =  0.385 mol.L⁻¹
