Say you have a bond A-B.

Even though in this bond each atom shares electrons, one might attract electrons more than another. If one atom, A for instance, attracts those electrons way better than B, then the bond will be polar, and the electronic cloud will be more important around A than around B, which gives chemical properties to the molecule.

A scientist finds that a sample of matter contains three types of atoms. The sample can be any of the following, except:
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. element

Explanation:

The sample cannot be an element because an element - or <em>elemental substance</em> - cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. Thus, it cannot be composed by differents types of atoms. For example, an element is carbon (C).

As the sample contains <u>three types of atoms</u>, it can be a compound, a molecule or a mixture, because they can be composed by different types of atoms - of different chemical elements. For example, the sample could contain the element carbon (C) combined with other elements, for example oxygen (O) or hydrogen (H), amoing others.

9. At equilibrium a 2 L vessel contains 0.360
klio [65]

Answer:

Ke = 34570.707

Explanation:

  • H2(g) + Br2(g) → 2 HBr(g)

equilibrium constant (Ke):

⇒ Ke = [HBr]² / [Br2] [H2]

∴ [HBr] = (37.0 mol) / (2 L) = 18.5 mol/L

∴ [Br2] = (0.110 mol) / (2 L) = 0.055 mol/L

∴ [H2] = (0.360 mol) / (2 L) = 0.18 mol/L

⇒ Ke = (18.5 mol/L)² / (0.055 mol/L)(0.18 mol/L)

⇒ Ke = 34570.707
