A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.

Table below shows the electronegativities of four elements. Which of the following bonds is the most polar?

Contact [7]

Lets find the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms;

C-H = 2.6-2.2 = 0.4

C-F = 4.0-2.6 = 1.4

F-F = 4.0-4.0 = 0

H-O = 3.4-2.2 = 1.2

Here the electronegativity difference is highest for C-F bond hence C-F bond is most polar.

group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called _______. A. a polar ion B. a non-polar ion C. a polyatomic ion D. a commo

raketka [301]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.

When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.

For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form $F^{-}$ ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms $Na^{+}$ ion.

When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.

Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.

The Lewis dot model of a molecule is shown.

Katen [24]

Answer:

Carbon has a total of four bonded pairs of electrons around it.

Explanation:

Since there are four "lines" around the C (which stands for Carbon), we can conclude that Carbon has a total of four bonded pairs of electrons around it.
