The tendency of an atom to pull electrons toward itself is referred to as its _____. ionic potential tonicity covalency electron

Electronegativity

The tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself is called electronegativity.

It is the tendency of an atom to attract bonding pair of electrons towards itself. These atoms which are more electronegative are able to bear a negative charge and be stable.

Unlike electropositive elements which tend to lose electrons , electronegative elements hold on tightly to the electrons.

The electronegativity is measured using the Pauling Scale where the most electronegative element of the periodic table, Fluorine , is given a value of 4 and the rest of the elements have values lower than 4 according to the trends followed by their groups and periods.

The least electronegative element of the periodic table , Cesium has a value of 0.7 on the Pauling Scale.

Electronegativity increases when we move from left to right in the periodic table and it decreases (in general) when we move down the group.

Use Lewis diagrams to show how electrons are shared to form covalent bonds in compounds wit the following atoms. Write the formu

bixtya [17]

The Lewis structure/diagram for CH2O (aka Formaldehyde) can be written in either of the following ways shown in the picture.
The dots represent electrons in the valence shell of the atom (the outermost shell). The green dots are electrons that belong to the Oxygen atom, the blue belong to the Carbon atom, and the pink belong to the Hydrogen atoms.
Covalent bonds are bonds between atoms where atoms share electrons with each other. Atoms bond because they obey the octet rule ( the rule states that most atoms of main-group elements tend to want 8 electrons in their valence shells).
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, Carbon has 4, and Hydrogen has 1. H does not follow the octet rule, but C and O do, so the atoms are arranged in this way so that the O and C atoms have a full octet of electrons in their valence.

What are the rules for writing

Alborosie

Answer:

When naming molecular compounds prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in the compound. ” Mono-” indicates one, “Di-” indicates two, “Tri-” is three, “Tetra-” is four, “Penta-” is five, and “Hexa-” is six, “Hepta-” is seven, “Octo-” is eight, “Nona-” is nine, and “Deca-” is ten.

Another chemistry question i’m not good at this at all:( has me stressed

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 15.86 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of Z-16.000 amu = 205

Number of atoms of Z-14.000 amu = 15

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Total number of atoms = 205 + 15 = 220

Percentage of Z-16.000 = 205/220 ×100 = 93.18%

Percentage of Z-14.000 = 15/220 ×100 = 6.82 %

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass = (93.18×16.000)+(6.82×14.000) /100

Average atomic mass = 1490.88 + 95.48 / 100

Average atomic mass = 1586.36 / 100

Average atomic mass = 15.86 amu.
