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.

Give the structures of both 1,2 and 1,4 adducts resulting from reaction of 1 equivalent of hcl with 1,3-pentadiene
GrogVix [38]

1,3-pentadiene has two double bonds which are conjugated, which undergo electrophilic addition reaction on reacting with HCl.

The structure of 1,3-pentadiene is shown in the image.

When strong acid such as HCl reacts with 1,3-pentadiene, the electrophilic addition reaction can occur either on double bond at 1,2-position or at 3,4-position. The reaction that occurs is shown in the image.

Which mineral leaves a green-black powder when rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate
solong [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

Pyrite leaves behind a green-black streak when it is rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate as a part of the streak test process.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Different minerals produce different coloured streaks when rubbed against a white ceramic or porcelain streak plate. This streak test is done to identify the mineral and distinguish the same from other minerals that look similar in colour and texture.

It must be ensured that the test is done on clean and fresh specimens of the mineral and that there must be no contaminants. Pyrite specimens are usually brass-yellow colour but it leaves a green-black streak when the streak test is done.
