Why do chemically active metals have low electronegativity values?

1 answer:

6 0

Active metals are those metals in the group 1 of the periodic table.

Electronegativity is the trend to atract electrons.

Active metals have few valence electron, because their last shell is of the kind ns^1 or ns^2

Then, these atoms do not trend to attract electrons. The most electronegative atomos are those who have 7 valence elecfrons; this is their last shell is of the kind ns^7, because when they attract one electron to its valence shell they will complete 8 electrons which is the most stable configuration.

Explain what makes a covalently bonded molecule polar. Use the molecules of CH4 and CH3F as examples in your explanation.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.

If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.

Do equal volumes of the same gas at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules (number of moles)?

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:Therefore, there must be a direct relationship between these volumes of gases and the number of molecules they contain. Avogadro's law says that: Equal volumes of different gaseous substances, measured under the same pressure and temperature conditions, contain the same number of molecules.

Explanation:I hope it works for you.

How many grams of aluminum chloride are produced when 5.96 grams of aluminum are reacted with excess chlorine gas? Start with a

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

29.47 g of AlCl₃.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2Al + 3Cl₂ —> 2AlCl₃

Next, we shall determine the mass of Al that reacted and the mass of AlCl₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Mass of Al from the balanced equation = 2 × 27 = 54 g

Molar mass of AlCl₃ = 27 + (35.5× 3)

= 27 + 106.5

= 133.5 g/mol

Mass of AlCl₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 133.5 = 267 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

54 g of Al reacted to produce 267 g of AlCl₃.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of AlCl₃ produced by the reaction of 5.96 g of Al. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

54 g of Al reacted to produce 267 g of AlCl₃.

Therefore, 5.96 g of Al will react to produce = (5.96 × 267)/54 = 29.47 g of AlCl₃.

Thus, 29.47 g of AlCl₃ were obtained from the reaction.
