Which of the following pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic bond?

Chemistry

Mrrafil [7]3 years ago

Answer is: D. sodium and sulfur.

When the electronegativity difference is greater, the bond polarity is increasing..  

Electronegativity (χ) is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons.  

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.  

Δχ(Na-S) = 2.6 - 0.95 = 1.655; electronegativity difference between sodium and sulfur.

Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).

Sodium is metal (forms cation) and sulfur is nonmetal (forms anion).

If 5,800 j of energy are applied to a 15.2 kg piece of lead, by how much does the temp change if the specific heat of lead is 0.
scoray [572]

Answer:

The answer will be 2.98K

Explanation:

Using the formula:

Q = mc∆T

Q= 5,800 (heat in joules)

m= convert 15.2kg to g which is 15200g (mass in grams)

c= 0.128 J/g °c (Specific heat capacity)

∆T=  what we need to find (temperature change)

5800J = 15200g x 0.128 x ∆T

= 2.98K

Which area of the periodic table has the highest electronegatvities
krok68 [10]

The area where the periodic table has the highest electronegativity are Groups 1 and Groups 7 because they are close on giving away an electron and the other is close to becoming stable.

A gas cylinder of volume 5.00 l contains 1.00 g of ar and 0.500 g of ne. the temperature is 275 k. find the partial pressure of
amid [387]
<span>11.3 kPa The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant (8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) ) T = Absolute temperature We have everything except moles and volume. But we can calculate moles by starting with the atomic weight of argon and neon. Atomic weight argon = 39.948 Atomic weight neon = 20.1797 Moles Ar = 1.00 g / 39.948 g/mol = 0.025032542 mol Moles Ne = 0.500 g / 20.1797 g/mol = 0.024777375 mol Total moles gas particles = 0.025032542 mol + 0.024777375 mol = 0.049809918 mol Now take the ideal gas equation and solve for P, then substitute known values and solve. PV = nRT P = nRT/V P = 0.049809918 mol * 8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) * 275 K/5.00 L P = 113.8892033 L*kPa / 5.00 L P = 22.77784066 kPa Now let's determine the percent of pressure provided by neon by calculating the percentage of neon atoms. Divide the number of moles of neon by the total number of moles. 0.024777375 mol / 0.049809918 mol = 0.497438592 Now multiply by the pressure 0.497438592 * 22.77784066 kPa = 11.33057699 kPa Round the result to 3 significant figures, giving 11.3 kPa</span>
