Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.

Whereas when there is difference in values electronegativity of two different atoms then it is known as electronegativity difference.

For example, in a HCl compound the hydrogen atom is electropositive and chlorine atom is electronegative. Electronegativity value of hydrogen is 2.1 and chlorine has 3.0.

Hence, difference in their electronegativities is 3.0 - 2.1 = 0.9.

Also, it is known that when the electronegativity difference is less than or equal to 1.7 then the bond formed between the combining atoms will be polar covalent.

Answer: Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2

Explanation:

A single displacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Al_2S_3\rightarrow 2Al+3S

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons burn in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water along with heat.

Which of the following statements is false concerning the formula of a compound?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical  formula.

Explanation:

It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;

  • The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
  • The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.

Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.

Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.

Answer:

0.05

moles

Explanation:

In a mole of any substance, there exist

6.02⋅1023

units of that substance.

So here, we got:

3.01⋅1022Mg atoms⋅1mol6.02⋅1023M gatoms=0.05mol
