how do covalent bonds form between atoms?why is it that diatomic molecules always form nonpolar covalent bonds?

1 answer:

5 0

Covalent bonds are formed when two or more non metal atoms share one or more electrons to achieve stable configuration.
Diatomic molecules form non polar covalent bonds because they are linear and the charge distribution across the bond is the same; therefore, resulting in no net charge.

Given 8.25 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100

mash [69]

Answer:

10.87 g of Ethyl Butyrate

Solution:

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

H₃C-CH₂-CH₂-COOH + H₃C-CH₂-OH → H₃C-CH₂-CH₂-COO-CH₂-CH₃ + H₂O

According to equation,

88.11 g (1 mol) Butanoic Acid produces = 116.16 g (1 mol) Ethyl Butyrate

So,

8.25 g Butanoic Acid will produce = X g of Ethyl Butyrate

Solving for X,

X = (8.25 g × 116.16 g) ÷ 88.11 g

X = 10.87 g of Ethyl Butyrate

would you expect the N-O bond in HNO2 to be longer, shorter, or the same length as the N-O bonds in NO2^-

prohojiy [21]

Longer, this is because the H in HNO2 is bonded with an oxygen, no longer allowing this structure to have a resonance structure.
NO2 on the other hand has one double bond and one single bond, so it has a resonance structure. And resonance structures are actually one structure so there isn't really a single and double bond, it's actually a 1 and 1/2 bond that calls for a higher bond order.
And I higher bond order will result in a shorter lengths!
I hope this helps out!!! And just out of curiosity, is this off of an AP FRQ packet??

What color of light refracted the most as it passes through a prism?

Snezhnost [94]

It would be Violet because it has the shortest wave length, while red has the longest wave length so it comes out the least of the colors.

The reaction of benzaldehyde with acetone and sodium hydroxide produces ____________ This is an example of ____________ reaction

The reaction of benzaldehyde with acetone and sodium hydroxide produces DibenzalacetoneThis is an example of an aldol condensation reaction.

Chemical reactions often involve color changes, temperature changes, gas evolution, or precipitate formation. Simple examples of everyday reactions are digestion, combustion, and cooking. As the name suggests, simple reactants produce or synthesize more complex products. The basic form of a synthetic reaction is A + B → AB. A simple example of a synthetic reaction is the formation of water from its elements hydrogen and oxygen: 2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(g).

A physical reaction is a reaction in which a change in the physical properties of matter or substances occurs. Physical properties include density, mass, and volume. The definition of a physical reaction is a reaction in which molecules undergo molecular rearrangements but do not change chemically.
