Answer:
SiH4 is nonpolar and BBr3 is nonpolar and SiF4 is nonpolar.
Explanation:
SiH4 is a non-polar compound. Though the Si–H bonds are polar, as a result of different electronegativities of Si and H. However, as there are 4 electron repulsions around the central Si atom, the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically around the central atom having a tetrahedral shape hence they cancel out making the compound nonpolar.
SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine atoms are arranged symetrically around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out just like in SiH4.
The 3 bromine atoms all lie in the same plane thus the geometry of the compound will be trigonal planar. The BBr3 will be non polar because the three B-Br bonds will cancel out each others' dipole moment given that they are in the same plane.
Answer:
Explanation:
When electron is transfer from metal to non metal anion and cations are formed and compound formed is called ionic compound.
Ionic bond:
It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from metal to the atom of non metal.
Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity thus the atom which accept the electron is form anion and metal atom which lose the electron is form cation .
For example:
Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion the compound form is called sodium chloride.
The answer to the question is B......
Answer:
About 60.
Explanation:
Mendeleev knew of 63 elements. He wrote their properties on cards and arranged them in order of atomic mass.
That's how he discovered that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses.
