Is P2I4 or Diphosphorus tetraiodide covalent or ionic?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
6 0

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.

An electrochemical cell is constructed with a zinc metal anode in contact with a 0.052 M solution of zinc nitrate and a silver c
lana [24]

Answer:

Q = 12.38

Explanation:

The Nernst equation is given as; Ecell = E°cell - (2.303RT/nF) log Q  ;where Q is the reaction quotient.

The reaction quotient, Q  in a reaction, is the product of the concentrations of the products divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants.

In an electrochemical cell, Q is the ratio of the concentration of the electrolyte at the anode to that of the electrolyte at the cathode.

Q = [anode]/[cathode]

therefore , Q = 0.052/0.0042 = 12.38

How many protons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 15
vodomira [7]

Answer:

In the given case, the atomic number of the given atom is 15, hence its nucleus contains 15 protons. The number of protons and electrons are the same in atom and that is what keeps it neutral. In the second case, the atomic number is 20. Hence, the atom will contain a total of 20 protons in its nucleus.

The ph scale for acidity is defined by ph=−log10[h+] where [h+]is the concentration of hydrogen ions measured in moles per liter
Leokris [45]

The question is incomplete.

The complete question probably is

The pH scale for acidity is defined by pH = − log₁₀[H⁺] where [H⁺] is the concentration of hydrogen ions measured in moles per liter (M). A solution has a pH of 2.55. Find the hydrogen ion concentration.

Answer: -

0.003 M

Explanation: -

pH = − log₁₀[H⁺]

Thus the hydrogen ion concentration [H⁺] = 10^{-pH}

= 10^{-2.55}

= 0.003 M

Which of the following groups in the periodic
Dimas [21]

Elements of Group 1 and  group 2  in the periodic table contain elements so reactive that they are  never found in the free state

<u>Explanation</u>:

The metals in group 1 of  periodic table consisting of 'alkali metals' which include lithium, potassium, sodium, rubidium, Francium and caesium. They are highly reactive because they have low ionisation energy and larger radius. The group 2 metals consist of 'alkaline earth metals' which include calcium, strontium, barium, beryllium, radium and magnesium.  These alkaline earth metal have +2 oxidation number, hence are highly reactive.

These both group metals are mostly reactive and so are never found in a free state. When they are exposed to air they would immediately react with oxygen. Hence, are stored in oils to avoid oxidation.
