How is electronegativity used in determining the ionic or covalent character of the bonding between two elements?

Chemistry

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.

All elements are made up of atoms. ➢ Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Two different kinds of atoms can combine to form a compound. A molecule is a combination of atoms that cannot be broken apart while still retaining the same properties as the larger substance that it is a part of.

if the lightbulb receives 100 J of electrical energy, and gives off 75 energy, how much heat (thermal energy away from the light
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb = 25 joules

Explanation:

Given:

Energy receive by light bulb = 100 Joules

Energy released by light bulb as light energy = 75 Joules

Find:

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb

Computation:

We know that, energy is neither be created nor destroys

So,

Using Law of conservation of energy

Energy receive by light bulb = Energy released by light bulb as light energy + Amount of heat energy released by light bulb

100 = 75 + Amount of heat energy released by light bulb

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb = 100 - 75

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb = 25 joules

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: Each ion, or atom, has a particular mass; similarly, each mole of a given pure substance also has a definite mass. The mass of one mole of atoms of a pure element in grams is equivalent to the atomic mass of that element in atomic mass units (amu) or in grams per mole (g/mol).

Describe what happens as ice changes to water.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The energy of the particles increase and the molecules move more quickly.

Explanation:

The molecules are moving from a solid (barely moves, molecules close together) to a liquid (molecules slide past each other and take any shape), so molecules are moving more and have more energy
