Explain why water and sodium oxide will have very different properties

Chemistry
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago
4 0

Water and sodium oxide have different properties because of their nature as explained below.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sodium oxide is a oxide of metallic sodium, while water is an oxide of hydrogen. So sodium oxide is a metallic oxide, while water is a non metallic oxide. Sodium oxide is a basic oxide, while water is neutral. As state of matter is concerned, sodium oxide is solid in normal room temperature, while water is liquid in normal room temperature. Water is a polar covalent molecule with partial charges on oxygen, but sodium oxide is an ionic molecule.

So all these factors contribute to very different properties of both sodium oxide and water.

<span>I’ve answered this question before so if these are the choices to the question presented:

An oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon atom, with a hydrogen atom single-bonded to the same carbon atom. </span><span>

<span>A hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom, which is covalently bonded to a carbon in the carbon chain. </span>

<span>A carbon atom single-bonded between two other carbon atoms, with an oxygen atom double-bonded to the central carbon atom as well. </span>

<span>An oxygen atom single-bonded between two carbon atoms within a carbon chain. 


Then, the answer would be “a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom, which is covalently bonded to a carbon in the carbon chain.<span>”</span></span></span>

Electron affinity is the measure of the attraction of an electron toward an isolated gaseous atom. When an electron is added to
zhuklara [117]

False

Explanation:

Electron affinity is negative when energy is absorbed and it is positive when energy is released.

Electron affinity is defined as the energy released in adding an electron to a neutral atom in the gas phase.

It is a measure of the readiness of an atom to gain an electron.

In a reaction where energy is released, electron affinity is usually positive. These reactions are called exothermic reactions.

Endothermic reactions in which energy is absorbed have negative electron affinity values.
