Answer:

The correct answer is (4) I and F

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas. The shared electron pair is common to the two atoms and holds them together.

The covalent bond between two atoms can be polar or nonpolar. If the molecule composed of two atoms of the same element is considered, a pair of electrons is shared that is attracted with the same intensity by the two nucleos. So the bond is non polar. However, when different atoms are linked, this bond will not always be performed symmetrically. Then this bond will be polar, and depends on the difference in electronegativity of the elements that bind (Electronegativity is called the tendency that the atom of a given element presents to attract electrons). The greater the electronegativity difference, the greater the polar character the bond has. The most electronegative element will be the one that attracts the shared electrons with more force, then a negative partial charge will be generated on said element, while in the other element (less electronegative) a positive partial charge will be generated.

First, to determine the link with greater polarity it is convenient to know the electronegativity of each element:

Br: 2.8
Cl: 3.0
F: 4.0
I: 2.5

Knowing the electronegativity of each element, it is possible to determine the electronegativity difference of each bond:

Br and Cl: 3.0-2.8=0.2
Br and F: 4.0-2.8=1.2
I and Cl: 3.0-2.5=0.5
I and F: 4.0-2.5=1.5

The bond between iodine I and fluorine F have the greatest electronegativity difference, indicating that this bond is the one with the highest polarity.

As the fluorine has greater electronegativity, the shared electrons are attracted more strongly by this element and a negative partial charge is generated on the fluorine. And in the iodine a positive partial charge is generated.

So, the correct answer is (4) I and F

How does the size of ions affect the conductivity of a solution?

mrs_skeptik [129]

Small ions have small areas. There is less resistance as they move through the solution.

For example, in molten salts, the conductivity of Li+ is greater than that of Cs+.

Small ions have high charge density.

Which of the following elements has the strongest ionization energy: Mg or Cl? Define ionization

Mila [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

The element Cl will have the strongest ionization energy from the given choices. Most non-metals have higher ionization energy compared to metals.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from the gaseous phase of an atom.

As you go from left to right on the periodic table, it increases progressive
From top to bottom, the ionization energy reduces significantly.
The attractive force between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons plays a very important role.
In metals, they have very large atomic radius, the attractive force on the outer electrons is very weak.
This is not the case in non-metals

A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41; how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are found within th

djverab [1.8K]

•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

The solubility of copper chloride at 20 °C is 73 g/100 g of water. Kiera adds 100 g of copper chloride to 100 g of water and sti

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

$m_{undissolved}=27g$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information of the solubility of copper chloride, as the maximum amount of this salt one can dissolve without having a precipitate, we infer that since just 73 grams are actually dissolved, the following amount will remain solid as a precipitate:

$m_{undissolved}=100g-73g\\\\m_{undissolved}=27g$

Best regards!
