In chemical formulas, there are often subscript numbers (such as the 2 in H2O, or the 6, 12, and 6 in C6H12O6).

Answer : The correct option is, Subscript numbers tell us how many of the element to their upper-left there are in the molecule.

Explanation :

Subscript number : It indicates that the total number of atoms of an element present in a molecule.

While witting a chemical formula, first we have to write the symbol of an element and then write the number in the bottom of the symbol.

For example :

C_6H_{12}O_6 is the chemical formula of the glucose molecule. The glucose molecule is made up of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.

The number 6 of carbon atom is written after and in the bottom (lower-right) of the symbol of carbon element (C). Similarly, the number 12 is written lower-right of the symbol of hydrogen element (H) and the number 6 is written lower-right of the symbol of oxygen element (O).

Therefore, the subscript numbers tell us how many of the element to their upper-left there are in the molecule.

Calculate %ic of the interatomic bonds for the intermetallic compound al6mn. on the basis of this result, what type of interatom
pashok25 [27]

Answer : % ionic character is 0.20%

              Bonding between the two metals will be purely metallic.

Explanation: For the calculation of % ionic character, we use the formula

\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(X_A-X_B)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)

where X_A & X_B are the Pauling's electronegativities.

The table attached has the values of electronegativities, by taking the values of Al and Mn from there,

X_{Al}=1.61

X_{Mn}=1.55

Putting the values in the electronegativity formula, we get

\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(1.61-1.55)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)

                                               = 0.20%

Now, there are 3 types of inter atomic bonding

1) Ionic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms

2) Covalent Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond involving the sharing of electron pairs between 2 atoms.

3) Metallic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is an electrostatic force between the positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons.

In Al_6Mn compound, the % ionic character is minimal that is \sim0.20% and there are two metal ions present, therefore this compound will have metallic bonding.

1. Define flash flood.
BigorU [14]
A flash flood is when to much water overflows a certain area. This is common with storms. When it rains; small bridges tend to floor. Garages, basements, and cellars can tend to flood as well from storms.

Rzqust [24]

Answer :

Example of polar covalent molecules H-O-H(water), ammonia

Explanation:

The presence of intermolecular Hydrogen bonding makes the boiling point of water unexpectedly high, and the polar covalent nature makes it dissolve polar solute/compound

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP What is the volume of 28.9 g of mercury if the density is 13.8 g/mL? *
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

2.09 mL

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

13.8 = 28.9/v

13.8v = 28.9

v = 2.09 mL
