Chemistry
1 answer:
marta [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: A: high ionization energies; high electron affinitlies.

Explanation: Covalent bonds are basically about sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve that stable structure. They are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). Covalent bonding usually occurs between two non-metals.

For effective and proper bonding, the two atoms involved in the covalent bonding exercise should be small and hungry for electrons. This is to enable the nuclei of both atoms to effectively attract and hold the shared electron(s) in place; hence, the need for high ionization energies & high electron affinities for a more effective covalent bonding.

Which isotope in each pair is more stable? Why?(d) ¹⁴₇N or ¹⁸₇N
quester [9]

<u>¹⁴₇N</u><u> </u>is the more stable isotope

<h3>Briefly explained</h3>

We have ¹⁴₇N which has a neutron to proton ratio of one, and we look at ¹⁸₇N which has a neutron to proton ratio of 1.57 Again, you look at table 24 to and you see the atomic number of seven and there is really no stable isotope. It has any more than 10 neutrons.

When we have eight, protons will go down seven protons. There's really nothing stable that has more than maybe eight neutrons. So the fact that we have 11 neutrons with ¹⁸₇N suggests that this is very unstable and

¹⁴₇N is the stable isotope of the pair.

<h3>Stable and Unstable Nuclei</h3>

An atom is electrically neutral. It contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons and their charges balance. The nucleus however contains only positively charged protons which are closely packed together in a very small volume (remember neutrons have no charge).

From the laws of physics (Coulomb’s Law) one would expect that the protons being of the same charge and so close together would exert strong repulsive forces on each other. The combined gravitational force from the protons and neutrons in a nucleus is insignificant as an attractive force because their masses are so tiny.

This implies there must be an additional attractive force similar in size to the electrostatic repulsion which holds the nucleus together.
