Which of the following values best classifies a bond between 2 atoms as being ionic?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago
7 0

Answer is: A. An electronegativity difference of greater than 1.7 between the atoms.

Electronegativity (χ) is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.

For example, in ionic salt sodium fluoride (NaF), fluorine has electronegativity approximately χ = 4 and sodium χ = 1 (Δχ = 4 - 1; Δχ = 3), fluorine attracts electron and it has negative charge and sodium has positive charge.

The general rule followed is that if electronegativity difference is greater than 2, then it is considered an ionic bond. An ionic bond is a type of bond characterizing a transfer of electrons within a bond. Common examples are salts which adds that ionic bonds are common between a metal and a nonmetal. Therefore, the best answer from above is letter B.

Which water source becomes polluted as it travels over the earth?
never [62]

Run off

Explanation:

Run-off are the water sources that becomes polluted as they travel over the earth surface.

Surface run-off are water that moves on the earth surface. This water is a component of the water cycle which usually originate from precipitation.

  • As the water moves through different terrain it comes into contact with different pollutants.
  • Some of these run-off travels through mines, waste disposal sites among others.
  • This leads to the contamination of this form of water as it moves through these earth materials.
  • They are the most polluted water

Which statement about AHf is true?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

  • <u><em>It is positive when the bonds of the product store more energy than those of the reactants.</em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>standard enthalpy of formation</em>, <em>ΔHf</em>, is defined as the energy required to form 1 mole of a substance from its contituent elements under standard conditions of pressure and temperature.

Then, per defintion, when the elements are already at their standard states, there is not energy involved to form them from that very state; this is, the standard enthalpy of formation of the elements in their standard states is zero.

It is not zero for the compounds in its standard state, because energy should be released or absorbed to form the compounds from their consituent elements. Thus, the first choice is false.

When the bonds of the products store more energy than the those of the reactants, the difference is:

  • ΔHf =  ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants > 0, meaning that ΔHf is positive. Hence, the second statement is true.

Third is false because forming the compounds may require to use (absorb) or release (produce) energy, which means that ΔHf could be positive or negative.

Fourth statement is false, because the standard state of many elements is not liquid. For example, it is required to supply energy to iron to make it liquid. Thus, the enthalpy of formation of iron in liquid state is not zero.

Suppose there is a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. If the total pressure of the mixture is 480 mmHg, and the partial pre
Rudiy27

Answer:

Partial pressure of oxygen = 190 mmHg

Explanation:

From the question;

Mixture contains only nitrogen and oxygen

Total pressure of the mixture = 480 mmHg

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 290 mmHg

Dalton's law states that the pressure of a system is as a result of the sum of the partial pressures of the individual components of the mixture. This means that in this mixture;

Pressure of mixture = Partial Pressure of Nitrogen + Partial Pressure of Oxygen

480 = 290 + Partial pressure of oxygen

Partial pressure of oxygen = 480 - 290

Partial pressure of oxygen = 190 mmHg

Does changing the amplitude affect the period on a pendulum and how
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

As the amplitude of pendulum motion increases, the period lengthens, because the restoring force −mgsinθ increases more slowly than −mgθ (sinθ≅θ−θ3/3!for small angles).
