Why do covalent bonds form between elements with similar electronegativity?

A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR  ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.

Answer: Period 2 has much more conclusive trends. For all elements in period 2, as the atomic number increases, the atomic radius of the elements decreases, the electronegativity increases, and the ionization energy increases

What is the ideal gas law
dlinn [17]

Answer: Gases are complicated. They're full of billions and billions of energetic gas molecules that can collide and possibly interact with each other. Since it's hard to exactly describe a real gas, people created the concept of an Ideal gas as an approximation that helps us model and predict the behavior of real gases. The term ideal gas refers to a hypothetical gas composed of molecules which follow a few rules:

Ideal gas molecules do not attract or repel each other. The only interaction between ideal gas molecules would be an elastic collision upon impact with each other or an elastic collision with the walls of the container. [What is an elastic collision?]

Ideal gas molecules themselves take up no volume. The gas takes up volume since the molecules expand into a large region of space, but the Ideal gas molecules are approximated as point particles that have no volume in and of themselves.

If this sounds too ideal to be true, you're right. There are no gases that are exactly ideal, but there are plenty of gases that are close enough that the concept of an ideal gas is an extremely useful approximation for many situations. In fact, for temperatures near room temperature and pressures near atmospheric pressure, many of the gases we care about are very nearly ideal.

If the pressure of the gas is too large (e.g. hundreds of times larger than atmospheric pressure), or the temperature is too low (e.g.

Amphetamine (C9H13N) is a weak base with a pKb of 4.2.
QveST [7]

Weak base: [OH⁻] = √Kb.C

pKb = 4.2

\tt Kb=10^{-4.2}

c = concentration

MM Amphetamine (C9H13N) = 135.21 g/mol

c = 215 mg/L = (0.215 g : 135,21 g/mol) / L = 0.00159 mol/L = 1.59  x 10⁻³ mol/L

\tt [OH^-]=\sqrt{10^{-4.2}\times 1.59\times 10^{-3}}=3.17\times 10^{-4}

pOH = 4 - log 3.17

pH = 14 - (4 - log 3.17)

pH = 10 + log 3.17 = 10.50

Of the following solutions, which has the greatest buffering capacity?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

d. 0.121 M HC2H3O2 and 0.116 M NaC2H3O2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the pH variation is analyzed via the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} )

We can infer that the nearer to 1 the ratio of of the concentration of the base to the concentration of the acid the better the buffering capacity. In such a way, since the sodium acetate is acting as the base and the acetic acid as the acid, we have:

a. \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}=\frac{0.497M}{0.365M}=1.36

b. \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}=\frac{0.217M}{0.521M}=0.417

c. \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}=\frac{0.713M}{0.821M}=0.868

d. \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}=\frac{0.116M}{0.121M}=0.959

Therefore, the d. solution has the best buffering capacity.

Regards.
