Ray Of Light [21]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Since valence shells are mostly empty in nonmetal atoms, the atoms attract and hold any electrons they can in order to fill their valence shells.

What is a common reason for observing an increased chemical shift of a c-h proton
stira [4]

Deshielding due to an electronegative element close by is the common reason for observing increased chemical shift of a c-h proton

<h3>What is a chemical shift? </h3>

The resonance frequency of a proton in relation to a standard compound is represented by chemical shift. Chemical shift, which is measured in ppm and is represented by the sign (δ),  (parts per million).The chemical shift in a proton NMR spectrum provides details about the targeted proton's chemical surroundings. The structure of the investigated substance, especially electronegative components or effects, has a significant impact on the chemical shift value. Electronegative elements' ability to remove electron density from the proton, which raises the chemical shift value, is one explanation for this. The proton is more exposed to the magnetic field that is being applied externally as a result of this process, which is referred to as de-shielding.

Which of the following polyatomic ions will form an ionic compound with two sodium ions? CO32− HCO31− NO21− NO31−
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

CO32−

Explanation:

We have to consider the valencies of the polyatomic ions involved. Recall that it is only a polyatomic ion with a valency of -2 that can form a compound which requires two sodium ions.

When we look closely at the options, we will realize that among all the options, only CO32− has a valency of -2, hence it must be the required answer. In order to be double sure, we put down the ionic reaction equation as follows;

2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) ---------> Na2CO3(aq)
