Carbon tetrachloride has been widely used in the cleaning industry, in fire extinguishers, and as a refrigerant. Construct an ex

planation of how carbon and chlorine combine to form carbon tetrachloride. A) Nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal chlorine forming four covalent bonds. B) Nonmetal carbon loses a valence electron and chlorine metal gains a valence electron to form an ionic bond. C) Carbon and chlorine are nonmetals and they shares their valence electrons to become ions and form ionic bonds. D) Chlorine metal loses a valence electron to become a cation and nonmetal carbon gains a valence electron to become an anion forming a covalent bond.

Answer: A) Nonmetal carbon shares valence electrons with each nonmetal chlorine forming four covalent bonds.

Explanation: Covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms.

Ionic bond is formed by transfer of electrons between atoms.

Carbon with atomic no 6 and has configuration of 1s^22s^22p^2. Carbon has 4 valence electrons. It can only share electrons as it is difficult to gain or lose 4 electrons to complete it's octet.

Chlorine with atomic no 17 has configuration of 1s^22s^22p^3s^23p^5. It has 7 valence electrons and need one electron to complete its octet.

Thus carbon will share 4 electrons, one each with four chlorine atoms to form carbon tetra chloride.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

0.05

moles

Explanation:

In a mole of any substance, there exist

6.02⋅1023

units of that substance.

So here, we got:

3.01⋅1022Mg atoms⋅1mol6.02⋅1023M gatoms=0.05mol

In which of the following types of solution is the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization? Concentrated Super
Butoxors [25]

In a <u>Saturated </u>solution, the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one than cannot dissolve any more solute because the solutes inter-molecular spaces are filled with the solute molecules at that temperature. When an attempt is made to dissolve more solute into the solution, the rate at which the solute is dissolved into the solution is equal to the rate at which excess solute is precipitated and crystallized.
