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.

When a piece of metal A is placed in a solution containing ions of metal B, metal B plates out on the piece of A.(a) Which metal
zmey [24]

While metal B is being reduced from an ion to a solid metal, metal A is being oxidized.

Metal A is being displaced because, through oxidation, it transforms from a solid metal to ions in a solution.

What is Oxidation ?

Redox reactions include a change in the oxidation state of the substrate. Loss of electrons or a rise in an element's oxidation state are both considered to be oxidation.

Gaining electrons or lowering the oxidation state of an element or its constituent atoms are both examples of reduction.

In general, the term "reduction" refers to a reaction in which a chemical receives additional electrons; the compound that gets electrons is referred to as being reduced. We can think of the transformation of a ketone or an aldehyde into an alcohol as a two-electron reduction because hydride can be thought of as a proton plus two electrons.

So finally we can say that Metal A is being oxidized.

What is the source of energy that is released in an exothermic reaction? what absorbs the energy that is released ?
Nadusha1986 [10]
Hello,

Here are your answers:

The proper answers to your questions are....

1. "Chemical bond energy is converted to kinetic energy"...... which causes it to release energy around its surroundings!

2. "Endothermic reactions"...... Endothermic reactions are the things that absorb the energy!

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
