Answer:
-a nonmetal is a substance that lacks the characteristics of a metal.
-Seventeen elements are generally classified as nonmetals: most are gases (hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, chlorine, argon, krypton, xenon and radon); one is a liquid (bromine); and a few are solids (carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, and iodine).
You don't "turn" it into energy; petroleum HAS stored energy (chemical energy).However, you can turn it into ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY; usually this is done by burning the petroleum, and using it to drive machinery.
Since burning fuels is wasteful (the efficiency is limited, in theory, to the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine), other options are being explored, such as chemical reactions in a fuel cell. But such technology is not yet used on a large scale.
Bonds formed between atoms can be classified as ionic and covalent
Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have a high difference in the electronegativity values.
In contrast, bonds formed between atoms that have a difference in electronegativity lower than the ionic counterparts are polar covalent bonds. If the atoms have very similar electronegativities, they form non-polar covalent bonds.
In H2S, the S atom is bonded to 2 H atoms. The electronegativity of H = 2.2 and S= 2.56. Since the difference is not high the bond formed will be covalent (polar covalent).
Answer:
% comp. H = 2.8%, % comp. Cl = 97.2%
Explanation:
HCl mass = mass of H + mass of Cl
HCL mass = 1.00794 + 35.453 = 36.46094
% comp. of H = 1.007694 / 36.46094 x 100 = around 2.8% (2.76376308455)
% comp. of Cl = 35.453 / 36.46094 x 100 = around 97.2% (97.2355622208)
