Answer:
Atoms must have similar electronegativities in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.
Explanation:
Covalent bonding is one of the bondings that occurs between the atoms of elements. It is the bonding in which atoms share their valence electrons with one another. However, the ELECTRONEGATIVITY, which is the ability of an atom to be attracted to electrons play a major role in the formation of covalent bonds.
When atoms of different electronegativities combine, the more electronegative atom pulls more electrons towards itself, hence, an IONIC bond is formed. However, when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar, the sharing of their electrons becomes stronger. Hence, ATOMS MUST HAVE SIMILAR ELECTRONEGATIVITIES in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.
Answer:
204.5505 grams
2.5666 moles
Explanation:
For the first question, multiply 3.5 (# of moles) by 58.443 (g/mol for NaCl).
58.443 * 3.5
<em>I'll distribute 3.5 into 58.443.</em>
(3.5 * 50) + (3.5 * 8) + (3.5 * 0.4) + (3.5 * 0.04) + (3.5 * 0.003)
175 + 28 + 1.4 + 0.14 + 0.0105
203 + 1.4 + 0.14 + 0.0105
204.4 + 0.14 + 0.0105
204.54 + 0.0105
204.5505 grams
There are 204.5505 grams in 3.5 moles of NaCl.
For the second question, divide 150 (# of grams) by 58.443 (g/mol for NaCl). I'll convert both into fractions.
150/1 * 1000/58443
150000/58443
2.56660336 moles
2.5666 moles (rounded to 4 places to keep consistency with the first answer) are in 150 grams of NaCl.
