8 0

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.

Need help asap - There is an error in the rate-determining step of the following proposed mechanism.
sdas [7]

Answer:

CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CH3(g) + HCl(g) and the rate rule is k1 = [CH4][Cl2]

Explanation:

Firstly, we must remember that the substitution reaction between halogens and alkanes to yield halogenoalkanes does not proceed by ionic mechanism rather it proceeds by free radical mechanism.

Now, if we look at the rate determining step as shown in the question, the elementary reaction equation of that step is not balanced.

Hence, the correct elementary reaction equation for the rate determining step and the rate law is; CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CH3(g) + HCl(g) and the rate rule is k1 = [CH4][Cl2]

Where do the numbers in a stoichiometry mole ratio come from?
erik [133]

it is defined as the ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced equation. To determine the mole ratio between two substances, all you need to do is look at the balanced equation for the coefficients in front of the substances you are interested in.
