<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A covalent bond is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms combining. The atom which attracts the shared pair of electron towards itself is more electronegative and the atom which does not attracts the shared pair of electron towards itself is less electronegative.

In HCl molecule, more electronegative atom is chlorine atom having an electronegativity of 3.16 and hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1

So, majority of shared electrons will be found near to the chlorine atom in hydrochloric molecule.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

  ↓                                      ↓
    
2 mole KClO₃ ----------> 3 mole O₂
2 mole KClO₃ ----------> ?

KClO₃ = 2 * 3 / 2

KClO₃ = 6 / 2

= 3 moles de KClO₃

hope this helps!

Write the chemical formula for sodium hypobromite.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

             NaOBr  (or)  Na⁺ ⁻OBr

Explanation:

The Oxo-Acids of Bromine are as follow,

                           Hypobromous Acid  =  HOBr

                           Bromous Acid  =  HOBrO

                           Bromic Acid  =  HBrO₃

                           Perbromic Acid  =  HBrO₄

When these acids are converted to their conjugate bases their names are as follow,

                           Hypobromite  =  ⁻OBr

                           Bromite  =  ⁻OBrO

                           Bromate  =  ⁻OBrO₂

                           Perbromate  =  ⁻OBrO₃

According to rules, the positive part of ionic compound is named first and the negative part is named second. So, Sodium Hypobromite has a chemical formula of Na⁺ ⁻OBr or NaOBr.
