Which statement is true about electronegativity?

2 answers:

5 0

Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons. The value tends to increase on moving from left to right across a period in the periodic table. This is because as the atomic number increases so does the nuclear charge which causes the added electron to experience a stronger nuclear attraction.

For example, if the consider the second period, then Lithium which is present in the extreme left will show a greater tendency to lose electrons (lower electronegativity) while Fluorine present in the extreme right will show a greater tendency to attract electrons and therefore high electronegativity. Thus, when Li and F combine, they form what is called an ionic bond.

In the Minnesota Department of Health set a health risk limit for acetone in groundwater of 60.0 μg/L . Suppose an analytical ch

siniylev [52]

Answer:

m = 4.7 μg

Explanation:

Given data:

density of acetone = 60.0 μg/L

Volume = 79.0 mL

Mass = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

v = 79.0 mL × 1L /1000 mL

v = 0.079 L

Now we will put the values on formula:

d = m/v

60.0 μg/L = m/0.079 L

m = 60.0 μg/L × 0.079 L

m = 4.7 μg

So health risk limit for acetone = 4.7 μg

the chemical compound C2F4 is used to make PTEE (Teflon). How manyC2F4 molecules are in 485 kilograms of this material?

monitta

Answer:

$molecules=2.92x10^{27}moleculesC_2F_4$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the Avogadro's number to compute the molecules of C2F4 whose molar mass is 100 g/mol contained in a 485-kg sample as shown below:

$molecules=485kgC_2F_4*\frac{1000gC_2F_4}{1kgC_2F_4} *\frac{1molC_2F_4}{100gC_2F_4}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molecules C_2F_4}{1molC_2F_4} \\\\molecules=2.92x10^{27}moleculesC_2F_4$

Serggg [28]

Answer:

b. mercury

Explanation:

Fishes and some other sea foods are are known to concentrate mercury in their bodies. Consumption of these products gradually accumulate mercury in the body over time.

More specifically, fishes like swordfish, king mackerel and shark are known to concentrate higher amount of mercury than other species of fishes. Hence, limiting their consumption will protect humans from mercury poisoning.

The correct option is b.
