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:

C. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is one of the end-product of combustion reactions involving many fuels today.

With the rapid increase in urbanization and technological development, man demand for energy increased tremendously. The discovery of fossil fuels paved the way for the astronomical increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil invovles the process where the carbon atoms present in these fuels combine with oxygen in the air to make CO2. This has resulted in an increase in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

The burning fossil fuels for electricity, industry, heat, and transportation are the major sources of the emossion of carbon dioxide.

Also, the cutting down of trees for paper production, building construction and for the establishment of settlements also increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees are help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. However, when these trees are cut down, carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere.

2 Na + Cl2 --&gt; 2 NaCl<br> What is the mole ratio of sodium to sodium chloride?
Irina18 [472]

Answer: The mole ratio of sodium to sodium chloride 2:2.

Explanation:

As the given reaction equation is as follows.

2Na + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2NaCl

Here, 2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of Cl_{2} and leads to the formation of 2 moles of NaCl.

This means that 2 moles of sodium gives 2 moles of NaCl on reaction with chlorine.

Hence, the ratio of moles of sodium to sodium chloride is 2:2.

Thus, we can conclude that the mole ratio of sodium to sodium chloride 2:2.
