1 answer:

7 0

A) Boron
Ionization energy tends to increase as we go from left to right in a period.

B) Mg
Ionization energy tends to decrease as we go down a group

C) Al
Ionization energy tends to increase as we go towards the top right of the periodic table.

Which compounds are lewis acids? select all that apply. (ch3ch2)2hc+ cl3c− ch3nh2 bbr3?

alexandr402 [8]

The Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors due to the availability of vacant orbitals they accept electrons from the donor compounds.

$(CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+}$ is a Lewis acid due to the unfilled valence shell on carbon atom (possessing positive charge) it accepts electron readily.
$CCl_{3}^{-}$ is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of negative charge which represents that there are electrons available for donation.
$CH_3NH_2$ is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of lone pair on nitrogen which is easily donated to the acceptors.
$BBr_3$ is a Lewis acid due to the availability of vacant p-orbital on boron atom.

Hence, $(CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+}$ and $BBr_3$ are Lewis acids.

10. A 2.36-gram sample of NaHCO3 was completely decomposed in an

Airida [17]

Answer:

0.79 g

Explanation:

Let's introduce a strategy needed to solve any similar problem like this:

Apply the mass conservation law (assuming that this reaction goes 100 % to completion): the total mass of the reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products.

Based on the mass conservation law, we need to identify the reactants first. Our only reactant is sodium bicarbonate, so the total mass of the reactants is:

$m_r=m_{NaHCO_3}=2.36 g$

We have two products formed, sodium carbonate and carbonic acid. This implies that the total mass of the products is:

$m_p=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}$

Apply the law of mass conservation:

$m_r=m_p$

Substitute the given variables:

$m_{NaHCO_3}=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}$

Rearrange for the mass of carbonic acid:

$m_{H_2CO_3}=m_{NaHCO_3}-m_{Na_2CO_3}=2.36 g - 1.57 g=0.79 g$

Describe the progress of the formation of an ionic bond in terms of electrons

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
