Chlorine and potassium atoms form ionic bonds, carbon atoms form non-polar covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms, and oxygen forms

polar covalent bonds with phosphorus. Explain why these bonds are the types they are.
Chemistry

Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

Chlorine and potassium atoms form ionic bonds: Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal.  Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of potassium = 3-0.8 = 2.2

Carbon atoms form non-polar covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms : Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms.  Electronegativity difference  = electronegativity of nitrogen  - electronegativity of carbon= 3.0-2.5 = 0.5

Oxygen forms polar covalent bonds with phosphorus: A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.  Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of phosphorous = 3.5- 2.19 = 1.31

Which of the following compounds contains the Lead (II) ion?<br> PbO<br> PbCl4<br> Pb2O<br> Pb2S
KATRIN_1 [288]
<span>PbO Let's look at each of the 4 compounds and see what's needed. PbO. * Oxygen has a valance shell that's missing 2 electrons and wants to get those 2 elections. Lead donates them, so you have a Lead (II) ions. This is a correct choice. PbCl4 * Chlorine wants to grab 1 electron to fill it's valance shell and Lead donates that election. However, there's 4 chlorine atoms and every one of them wants and electron, and lead is donating all 4 of the desired electrons making the Lead (IV) ion. So this is a bad choice. Pb2O * Oxygen still wants 2 electrons and gets them from the lead. But there's 2 lead atoms and each of them donates 1 election making for 2 Lead(I) ions. So this too is a bad choice. Pb2S * Sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table as oxygen and if this compound were to exist would have similar properties as Pb2O and would have Lead(I) ions. So this is a bad choice.</span>

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the amount of time it takes for a quantity of that isotope to decay to one half of its
Sedaia [141]

Radio active decay reactions follow first order rate kinetics.

a) The half life and decay constant for radio active decay reactions are related by the equation:

t_{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{ln 2}{k}

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{0.693}{k}

Where k is the decay constant

b) Finding out the decay constant for the decay of C-14 isotope:

Decay constant (k) = \frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

k = \frac{0.693}{5230 years}

k = 1.325 * 10^{-4} yr^{-1}

c) Finding the age of the sample :

35 % of the radiocarbon is present currently.

The first order rate equation is,

[A] = [A_{0}]e^{-kt}

\frac{[A]}{[A_{0}]} = e^{-kt}

\frac{35}{100} = e^{-(1.325 *10^{-4})t}

ln(0.35) = -(1.325 *10^{-4})(t)

t = 7923 years

Therefore, age of the sample is 7923 years.

Why a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons
Alex777 [14]

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.
