Answer: option (2) H - Cl

Explanation:

1) The polar character of a covalent bond is defined by the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms. The higher the diffrerence the greater the polar character of the bond.

2) The electronegativities of the elements are found in tables.

These are the electronegativities of the four elements of the question:

H: 2.20 ← lowest

I: 2.66

Br: 2.96

Cl: 3.16 ← highest

3) Since Cl has the greatest electronegativity of the four elements, and H has the lowest one, it is the bond H - Cl which will have the greatest difference of electronegativities, and it is the most polar bond.

For the question given above, option 2 which is H-Cl pair of atoms has the most polar bond among the four of them. 

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. <span>Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.</span>

Explain Wurtz reaction with an example ~​
Deffense [45]

Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Please bear in mind that wurtz reaction fails whenever tertiary alkyl halides are used.

An example of Wurtz reaction is given below:

2R – X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na + X−

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds can simply be defined as those classes of organic molecules which contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds).

Below are some few general characteristics of organic compounds:

  • All organic compounds contain carbon.

  • Most of them are flammable.

  • They are all soluble in non-polar solvents

  • Most organic compounds / substances are covalently bonded molecules

Some classes of organic compounds are:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkenes

So therefore, Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂

Explanation:

(A) SeO₂

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. The molecule is bent shaped which has an angle of 120°.

(B) SeCl₆

The central atom has 6 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. The geometry is octahedral in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 90° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.

(C) SeF₂

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°.

The order is:

<u>SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂</u>
