<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed between the atoms having no difference in electronegativity values. For Example: $Cl_2,H_2$ etc..

In this bond, the electrons are shared equally and $\Delta EN$ value is equal to 0.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

What is the easiest way to explain molecular compounds and covalent bonds also adding information about valance electrons?

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Molecular compounds consist of two or more nonmetals. The nonmetals that make up a molecular compound are held together by covalent/molecular bonds. Covalent bonds is known as the "sharing" of valence electrons between two or more chemical species. Valence electrons are shared so that the atoms of the compound can become stable, much like how ionic bonds transfer valence electrons between atoms to achieve stability.

What is the concentration (in M) of a sample of the unknown dye with an absorbance of 0.25 at 542 nm?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

Question is incomplete, so in picture 1, you have a sample of this question with the missing data.

Now, in general terms, the absorbance of a substance can be calculated using the beer's law which is the following:

A = εlc

Where:

ε: molar absortivity

l: distance of the light in solution

c: concentration of solution

However, in this case, we have a plot line and a equation for this plot, so all we have to do is replace the given data into the equation and solve for x, which is the concentration.

the equation according to the plot is:

A = 15200c - 0.018

So solving for C for an absorbance of 0.25 is:

0.25 = 15200c - 0.018

0.25 + 0.018 = 15200c

0.268 = 15200c

c = 0.268/15200

c = 1.76x10⁻⁵ M

A sample of 28 Mg decays initially at a rate of 53500 disintegrations per minute, but the decay rate falls to 10980 disintegrati

prisoha [69]

Answer : The half life of 28-Mg in hours is, 6.94

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the rate constant.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = time passed by the sample = 48.0 hr

a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 53500

a - x = amount left after decay process disintegrate = 53500 - 10980 = 42520

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$k=\frac{2.303}{48.0}\log\frac{53500}{42520}$

$k=9.98\times 10^{-2}hr^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the half-life.

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$9.98\times 10^{-2}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$t_{1/2}=6.94hr$

Therefore, the half life of 28-Mg in hours is, 6.94

Determine the electron geometry (eg) and molecular geometry (mg) of CO2.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

eg=linear, mg=linear

Explanation:

First of all, it must be stated that most triatomic molecules are either linear or bent. This depends on the electron geometry of the molecule and the number of bonding groups, multiple bonds and lone pairs present.

CO2 contains four regions of electron density and two bonding groups. For a specie containing two bonding groups, a linear molecular geometry is expected with an angle of 180°.

For a specie having two bonding groups and no lone pairs with multiple bonds, the expected electron geometry is also linear.
