According to your textbook, how many of the following are properties of covalent compounds:

Chemistry

1 answer:

Ronch [10]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

a, b and d are correct.

Explanation:

There are two types of attractive forces in covalent compounds:

The force that holds the atoms together in a molecule (the covalent bond).

The force that operates between molecules, called an intermolecular force.

Because intermolecular forces are usually quite weak compared with the forces holding atoms together within a molecule, molecules of a covalent compound are not held together tightly. Consequently, covalent compounds are usually gases, liquids, or low-melting solids.

Most covalent compounds aqueous solutions generally do not conduct electricity, because the compounds are nonelectrolytes.

As changes in energy levels of electrons increase, the frequencies of atomic line spectra they emit ___?

Tju [1.3M]

Ans: As changes in energy levels of electrons increase, the frequencies of atomic line spectra they emit will increase.

The energy (E) is related to the frequency (ν) by the following equation:

E = hν

where h = planck's constant

The change in energy i between levels is:

ΔΕ = h(Δν) -----(1)

Based on the above equation, as the changes in energy levels increase, the frequency of emitted radiation will also increase.

Which best explains why the trend in noble gas boiling points increases down the group?A) increasing dispersion interactions B)

zhenek [66]

Answer:

A) increasing dispersion interactions

Explanation:

Polarizability allows gases containing atoms or nonpolar molecules (for example, to condense. In these gases, the most important kind of interaction produces dispersion forces, attractive forces that arise as a result of temporary dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.

Dispersion forces, which are also called London forces, usually increase with molar mass because molecules with larger molar mass tend to have more electrons, and dispersion forces increase in strength with the number of electrons. Furthermore, larger molar mass often means a bigger atom whose electron distribution is more easily disturbed because the outer electrons are less tightly held by the nuclei.

Because the noble gases are all nonpolar molecules, the only attractive intermolecular forces present are the dispersion forces.

Water is being pumped from the bottom of a well 150 feet deep at a rate of 200 gal/hour into a vented storage tank 30 feet above

KengaRu [80]

Explanation:

As the given data is as follows.

Height, H = 150 feet

Heat gain = 30,000 BTU/hr, and Heat loss = 25000 BTU/hr

m = mass of water heated = 700 gallons = 5810 lbs

$C_{p}$ is the heat capacity of water = 1 BTU/lb $^{o}F$ (given)

$\Delta T$ = temperature difference = $120^{o}F - 35^{o}F$

Heat energy required to heat 700 gal can be calculated as follows:

Heat Required = $5810 lbs \times 1 BTU/lb^{o}F \times (120^{o}F - 35^{o}F)$

Thus, water rises till $120^{o}F$ .

Predict the following chemical formula for a compound between aluminum and chlorine. AlCl3 Al3Cl Al2Cl3 Al3Cl2

Tasya [4]

Both aluminum and chlorine have known charges, which are +3 and -1 respectively. To make them cancel each other out in charge, you would need 3 chlorine and for one aluminum, therefore $AlCl_{3}$ would be correct

Calculate the volume of hydrogen if you have 12.1 moles of Hydrogen.

vodomira [7]

To Find :

The volume of 12.1 moles hydrogen at STP.

Solution :

We know at STP, 1 mole of gas any gas occupy a volume of 22.4 L.

Let, volume of 12.1 moles of hydrogen is x.

So, x = 22.4 × 12.1 L

x = 271.04 L

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 271.04 L.
