Is P2I4 or Diphosphorus tetraiodide covalent or ionic?

Chemistry

Afina-wow [57]3 years ago

Answer: covalent bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

As P_2I_4 or Diphosphorus tetraiodide is made up of phosphorous and iodine which are both non metals , it is a covalent bond.

Diphosphorus tetraiodide  is a covalent compound.

It has low melting point as compared to ionic compounds

It is a rare compound where the oxidation state of Phosphorous is +2.

It is also termed as subhalide of phosphorous.

A very specific procedure scientists follow when conducting experiments is known as the
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Scientific Method.

Explanation:

A scientific method is basically a method or a process when you conduct an experiment. Normally, the process goes like this:

1. You make like a question or something that you want to investigate, it's like the aim of the experiment.

2. You make an experiment and a hypothesis. A hypothesis is basically a guess on how the results of the experiment would turn out. You don't have to be correct for the hypothesis since there is no right or wrong answer.

3. Conduct the experiment. I don't think this needs a detailed explanation since experiments vary from one another.

4. Collect results. The data you collect come in different ways based on your experiment, but it is crucial you get data so that you can answer your question in 1.

5. Make inferences. You can't directly get a conclusion or answer from the results, so inferences are needed.

6. Craft a conclusion or answer. This is the final step when conducting an experiment and the part where you have the answer you needed when you conducted the experiment :)

What power source uses the earths internal heat
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Geothermal power comes from Earth's internal heat

Explanation:

The description applied to power sources tends to match the names applied to the source of energy. Sometimes Latin, or other word derivations are used.

For example, "hydro-" refers to water, so it is no surprise that hydroelectric power comes from the movement of water. Of course, "nuclear" refers to the nuclei of the atoms that are split to release energy in a nuclear power plant. Similarly, "geo-" refers to Earth, and "thermal" refers to heat, so "geothermal" energy is the name given to energy derived from Earth's heat.

How many moles of N2 in 57.1 g of N2?
SpyIntel [72]

We are given –

  • Mass of \bf N_2 is 57.1 g and we are asked to find number of moles present in 57.1 g of \bf N_2

\qquad\pink{\bf\longrightarrow  { Molar \:mass \:of \: N_2:-}  }

\qquad\bf  \twoheadrightarrow 14\times 2

\qquad\bf \twoheadrightarrow   28

\qquad____________________

Now,Let's calculate the number of moles present in 57.1 g of \bf N_2

\qquad\purple{\bf\longrightarrow  { No \:of \:moles = \dfrac{Given \:mass}{Molar\: mass}}}

\qquad\bf   \twoheadrightarrow \dfrac{57.1}{28}

\qquad\bf  \twoheadrightarrow 2.04\: moles

A compound with the empirical formula CH 2 O has a formula mass of 180 g/mol. What is its molecular formula
olga nikolaevna [1]

Empirical formula mass

  • 12+2(1)+16
  • 28+2
  • 30g/mol

Molecular fornula mass:-180g/mol

  • n=Molecular formula mass/Empirical formula mass
  • m=180/30
  • n=6

Molecular formula:-

  • n×Empirical formula
  • 6(CH_2O
  • C_6H_12 O_6
