Should hydrogen be classified as a member of group 1, group 17, or is it unique? Explain your reasoning behind your choice.

dimaraw [331]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Honestly, while Hydrogen appears to be in group 1, it really isn't. It is unique, and has no characteristics similar to others, especially to the alkali metals in group 1 and halogens in group 17.  

Hydrogen only shares one thing with alkali metals. It has one electron in the outermost shell, and has a valency of one. As far as halogens go, Hydrogen is a reducing agent, and halogens are known for being oxidizing agents.

So, I can say that more research needs to be done on Hydrogen. In the meantime, it is quite unique. Thanks!

Please help me order these bonds urgent
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

From least polar covalent to most polar covalent;

S-I< Br-Cl < N-H< Te-O

From most ionic to least ionic

Cs-F> Sr-Cl> Li- N> Al-O

Explanation:

Electro negativity refers to the ability of an atom in a bond to attract the shared electrons of the bond towards itself.

Electro negativity difference between two atoms is a key player in the nature of bond that exists between any two atoms. A large difference in electron negativity leads to an ionic bond while an intermediate difference in electro negativity leads to a polar covalent bond.

Based on electro negativity differences, the bonds in the answer have been arranged in order of increasing polar covalent nature or decreasing ionic nature.

If 11.9 kJ are used to heat a sample of water the temperature increases from 20.0°C to
Kipish [7]

Answer:

m=4.51g

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the energy involved during a heating process is shown below:

Q=mCp\Delta T

Whereas the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g°C), we can compute the heated mass of water by the addition of 11.9 kJ (11900 J) of heat as shown below:

m=\frac{Q}{Cp\Delta T}

Thus, by plugging in, we obtain:

m=\frac{11900J}{4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}(650\°C-20.0\°C)}\\\\m=4.51g

Best regards!

Strong versus weak acids what makes a strong acid strong pogil answer key
Over [174]
An acid is deemed strong if it can readily or easy "donate" a proton (H+) to the other ions in the solutions. Also, to donate or lose the proton or H+, the acid must dissociate (split into ions) in the solution. The more it can readily dissociate, the stronger the acid is.
