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.

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

Oxygen and chlorine gas are mixed in a container with partial pressures of 0.53 atm and 0.639 atm, respectively. What is the tot
aev [14]

Answer:

1.17 atm

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the total pressure inside the container (in atm)

Using this formula

Total pressure = Partial pressure 1 + Partial pressure 2

Where,

Partial pressure 1=0.53 atm

Partial pressure 2=0.639 atm

Let plug in the formula

Total pressure = 0.53 atm + 0.639 atm

Total pressure = 1.17 atm

Therefore the total pressure inside the container (in atm) is 1.17 atm

In every balanced chemical equation, each side of the equation has the same number of _____.
Ber [7]

The correct answer is option d, that is, atoms of the element.  

As the atoms are neither destroyed nor created in a chemical reaction, the sum of the mass of the products in a reaction must be equivalent to the sum of the mass of the reactants.  

The chemical reactions must be balanced, they must exhibit a similar number of atoms of each element on both the sides of the equation. As a consequence, the mass of the reactants must be equivalent to the mass of the products of the reaction.

Do plants have to do cellular respiration?<br> Why or why not?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

<h3>Plants need oxygen because plants are made living cells which need to perform cellular respiration to get the energy they need to function. Admittedly, needing to perform cellular respiration alone does not mean that consuming oxygen is required - many (micro)organisms use fermentation or anaerobic respiration.</h3>
