The greater the difference in electronegativity between two covalently bonded atoms

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

The greater the difference in electronegativity between two covalently bonded atoms, the greater the bond's percentage of ionic character.

Explanation:

Bond polarity (i.e the separation of electric charge along a bond) and ionic character (amount of electron sharing) increase with an increasing difference in electronegativity.

Therefore, we can say that, the greater the difference in electronegativity between two covalently bonded atoms, the greater the bond's percentage of ionic character.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.

Explanation:

Use the kinetic energy formula

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J$

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)
