Answer:

Detail is given below.

Explanation:

Atomic radius trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons increases. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

we can see in picture A there is one positive charge and force of attraction is 2.30×10⁻⁸ N

In picture D there are 2 positive charge and force of attraction is 4.60×10⁻⁸ N

So by increasing the positive charge force of attraction also increases.

In F we can see there is more positive charge thus force of attraction is also greater.

What is the bond formation of N and H

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

A single bond, but it's also a hydrogen bond.

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond forms when hydrogen bonds to the 3 most electronegative atoms: Oxygen, Nitrogen, or Fluorine.

It's a single bond because hydrogen only has two valence electrons. Therefore, the rest of the electrons are placed around the nitrogen atom.

Determine the root-mean square speed of CO2 molecules that have an average kinetic energy of 4.2 x10-21 J per molecule.

strojnjashka [21]

<span>Determine the root-mean-square sped of CO2 molecules that have an average Kinetic Energy of 4.21x10^-21 J per molecule. Write your answer to 3 sig figs.
</span><span>
E = 1/2 m v^2

If you substitute into this formula, you will get out the root-mean-square speed.

If energy is Joules, the mass should be in kg, and the speed will be in m/s.

1 mol of CO2 is 44.0 g, or 4.40 x 10^1 g or 4.40 x 10^-2 kg.

If you divide this by Avagadro's constant, you will get the average mass of a CO2 molecule.

4.40 x 10^-2 kg / 6.02 x 10^23 = 7.31 x 10^-26 kg

So, if E = 1/2 mv^2

</span>v^2 = 2E/m = 2 (4.21x10^-21 J)/7.31 x 10^-26 kg = 115184.68
Take the square root of that, and you get the answer 339 m/s.

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to anot

forsale [732]

The given question is incomplete . The complete question is :

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms?

a. The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged

b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

c. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged

d. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged.

Answer: The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed by transference of electrons between metals and non metals. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Thus when one electron moves from one atom to another, the metal acquires a positive charge and the non metal acquires negative charge.

For example: $NaCl$ is formed by transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine , thus forming $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$
