Lilpeeq's question is legitimate, but I'm going to try to answer without the statements anyway (potentially ill-advised, but here we go!). Nonmetal-nonmetal bonds are more likely to be covalent because their electronegativites are very similar. Ionic bonds form between elements with large differences in electronegativities, and the smaller the difference is, the more covalent the bond is until an element that bonds with itself forms a perfectly covalent bond. Metals form metallic bonds with each other.

EDIT: Basically they have small differences in electronegativity. Thanks for following up on your question!
Hope this helps!

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in sulfuric acid and what compound results?A) E 1; methoxycyclohexane B)

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.

According to reference table adv-10, which reaction will take place spontaneously?

olga_2 [115]

Missing table!! write the elements with the first letter of the symbol with Upper Caps letters!!!

http://www.chemeddl.org/services/moodle/media/QBank/GenChem/Tables/EStandardTable.htm

<span>Ni2+ +Pb(s) → Ni(s) + Pb2+
</span>The potential of the oxidation of Pb(s) --> Pb2+(aq) is 0.126 V
The potential of the reduction go Ni2+(aq) --> Ni(s) is -0.25 V

<span>Add the two together and the potential for the reaction is -0.124 V (NO SPONTANEOUS THE SIGN IS NEGATIVE)

</span><span>au3+ + al(s) → au(s) + al3+Au3+(aq) -> Au(s) +1.5 VAl -> Al3+ +1.66VV= 3.16 (SPONTANEOUS THE SIGN OF THE PONTENTIAL IS POSITIVE)</span><span>Sr2+ + Sn(s) → Sr(s) + Sn2+
</span>
Sr2+(aq) + 2 e– <span> Sr(s) V= -2.89V
</span>Sn -> Sn2+ V= 0.14 V
V= -2.75 V (no spontaneous)

<span>Fe2+ + Cu(s) → Fe(s) + Cu2+
</span>Fe2+(aq) + 2 e–<span> </span><span> Fe(s) V= -0.44 V
</span>Cu -> C2+ V = - 0.337V

V= - 0.777V (no spontaneous)

What is the mass of helium atom whose atomic weight is 4.003 g/mol?

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Atoms He (Avogadro’s number) → Moles of He (molar mass of He) → Mass of He

• molar mass of He (from the periodic table) = 4.003 g/mol

• Avogadro’s Number: Avogadro’s number gives us the number of entities present in 1 mole: 6.022 × 1023 He atoms in 1 mole of He

The mass of a silver bracelet is 2.5 gram, it occupies a volume of 48cm3, what is its density?

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 2.5 g

volume = 48 cm³

The density is

$density = \frac{2.5}{48} \\ = 0.052083333...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
