Answer:

If the electronegativity difference between bonded atoms are too much high ionic bonds are formed if the electronegativity diference is 0.4 or less than 0.4 non polar covalnet bond formed the difference greater than 0.4 polar covalent bond formed.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

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.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

goldenfox [79]

Below is the distribution of given elements and additional elements in their respective bins.

Iron, Magnesium, Aluminium, Calcium, Chromium and Indium are classified as Metals due to their hardness, conduction of current and heat, Solid state, formation of metallic bonding and prefers to form cations e.t.c

Oxygen, Neon and Bromine are classified as non-metals. Non-metals are mostly gases except for Bromine. They are highly volatile and prefers to form anions.

Semimetals are those metals which have both properties of metals and non-metals and are also called as metalloids.

vichka [17]

Answer:

H₂S

H₂CO₃

NH₄⁺

Explanation:

Which acid in each of the following pairs has the stronger conjugate base?

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, the weaker an acid, the stronger its conjugate acid. Especially for weak acids, pKa gives information about the strength of such acid. The higher the pKa, the weaker the acid.

Of the acids HCl or HF, the one with the stronger conjugate base is HF because it is a weak acid.

Of the acids H₂S or HNO₂, the one with the stronger conjugate base is H₂S because it is a weaker acid. pKa (H₂S) = 7.04 > pKa (HNO₂) = 3.39

Of the acids H₂CO₃ or HClO₄, the one with the stronger conjugate base is H₂CO₃ because it is a weak acid.

Of the acids HF or NH₄⁺, the one with the stronger conjugate base is NH₄⁺ because it is a weaker acid. pKa (HF) = 3.17 < pKa (NH₄⁺) = 9.25

Whose work is credited with being the beginning of the modern atomic theory

Damm [24]

Democritus (460-370 BC) was a Greek philosopher who theorized that all matter could be reduced to particles that could not be divided, which he described as “atomos.”

John Dalton (1766-1844) Proposed the atomic theory.
