<h2>Answer:</h2>

The decrease in entropy is caused when the product of a reaction has lesser disorder than that of reactant.  

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that the entropy is the measure of system's disorder, the entropy in solid is less than that of liquid and gases. Gases have highest entropy. The thermodynamics, the second law is based on entropy which defines that in spontaneous reaction, there is always increase in the entropy.

If the reactants are undergoing a chemical reaction to produce a product that has lesser disorder, then there is decrease in entropy. For example, if two gases react to form a solid, then there will be decrease in entropy.

Are the bonds in each of the following substances ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent? Arrange the substances with polar
KengaRu [80]

Covalent bonds can be classified as nonpolar and polar covalent given the electronegativity difference between two atoms (ΔEN).

Nonpolar covalent bond electrons are shared equally between two atoms, polar covalent bond electrons are shared unequally, atoms have partial charges, ionic bond electrons are completely transferred to one atom, full charges present. Therefore, the greater the electronegativity difference, the greater the bond polarity. Let's determine the types of bonds present in the compounds and arrange the ones with polar covalent in order of increasing ΔEN. Sulfur and oxygen are both nonmetals so the substance is covalent. Sulfur has EN = 2.5 and oxygen has EN = 3.5. Since there is an electronegativity difference, the S−O bonds in the substance can be classified as polar covalent bonds.

Net ionic equation for Calcium hydroxide reacting with ammonium Chloride?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + 2NH₄Cl (aq) → CaCl₂ (aq) + 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻ + 2NH₄⁺ + 2Cl⁻ → Ca⁺² + 2Cl⁻ + 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

2OH⁻ + 2NH₄⁺ → 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (l)
