Answer:

0.08875

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the first step is to compute the difference in the electronegativity for the formed bond between gallium and phosphorous by:

\Delta E=2.1-1.6\\\\\Delta E=0.5

Thus, we can compute the percentage of ionic character by:

\%\  ionic\ character=16\Delta E +3.5 (\Delta E)^2\\\\\%\  ionic\ character=16*0.5+3.5*0.5^2\\\\\%\  ionic\ character=8.875\%

So the fraction is just:

\frac{8.875}{100}=0.08875

Which has sense since gallium phosphide is a non-polar compound.

Regards.

a physical property can be observed while the substance remains the same in its chemical composition. true false
sweet [91]

While the material retains its chemical makeup, the physical property may be examined. The given statement is true.

The matter can undergo variations in physical or chemical properties. The physical changes of a matter occur when the matter undergoes changes in its physical properties like changes in the state of matter, weight, color, etc.

But the chemical composition of matter will remain constant if it undergoes a physical change. Whereas in chemical change, the matter undergoes a change in the composition of the substance but there will be no change in the physical properties.

Hence, The assertion is correct in that physical properties can be seen while the substance's chemical makeup stays constant.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! NEED THE ANSWER FAST! WILL CHOOSE THE BRAINLIEST!!!
Vlad [161]
Remember that a cation will be smaller than its neutral atom, and an anion will be larger than its neutral atom. This would automatically eliminate answer choices A and D.

Also keep in mind that atomic radii decreases from left to right as you move along a periodic table. It also decreases from bottom up. 
Atomic radii increases as you move from right to left and as you go from up to down.

As bromine is higher up in the periodic table than Iodine, it would have a smaller radius. Iodine would have a larger radius.

The correct answer is B. Br

What is the oxidation number of each phosphorus atom in H4P2O7
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

+5

Explanation:

The oxidation number of phosphorus can be obtained as follows:

H4P2O7 = 0

4(+1) + 2P + 7(—2) = 0

4 + 2P —14 = 0

Collect like terms

2P = 14 — 4

2P = 10

Divide both side by 2

P = 10/2

P = +5

The oxidation number of phosphorus is +5
