Which molecule among these is a polar

Scilla [17]

Answer: 1. C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B) $NH_3$

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: $NH_3$

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: $Mg_3N_2$ , $AlCl_3$ and $LiBr$

3. For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas $F_2$

Write a ground state electron configuration for each neutral atom

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Pb[lead] [Xe]4f^145d^106s^26p^2

U[uranium] 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 6s^2 4e^14 5d^10 6p^6

7s^2 5f^4

This notation can be written in core notation or noble gas notation by replacing the

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 6s^2 4e^14 5d^10 6p^6

7s^2 5f^4

with the noble gas [Rn].

[Rn]7s25f4

N[nitrogen] The full electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3.

Ti[titanium] Ti2+:[Ar]3d^2

Ti:1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^2 4s^2

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5 = 17 electrons

(1) electron gain will result to a

negative charge (−), and

(2) electron loss will result to a positive charge (+),

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 = 18 electrons

Hg[mercury] You should then find its atomic number is 80. It has a Xe core, so in shorthand notation, you can include [Xe]instead of

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^10 4s^2 4p^6 4d^10 5s^2 5p^6,

for 54 electrons. For the 6th row of the periodic table, we introduce the 4f orbitals, and proceed to atoms having occupied 5d orbitals. We, as usual, have the ns orbitals, and n=? for the 6th period?

Mercury has a regular electron configuration. It becomes:

[Xe]4f145d106s2

An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a) a0 was 46.2 grams

b) It will take 259 years

c) The fossil is 1845 years old

Explanation:

An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?

A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)

⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams

⇒ A0 = the original amount

⇒ t = time = 8 hours

⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours

46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)

Ao = 261.35 grams

Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?

t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years

It will take 259 years

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?

t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845

The fossil is 1845 years old
