<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>For 2:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>For 3:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>For 1:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

We are given:

An ion carrying a charge of +3. This means that an element is loosing 3 electrons, so it has 3 valence electrons.

The elements that belong to Group 13 of the periodic table has 3 valence electrons and form +3 ions.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

  • <u>For 2:</u>

For the given options:

<u>Option A:</u> Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms. This is usually formed between two non-metals.

<u>Option B:</u> Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom. The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

<u>Option C:</u> A polar covalent bond is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond. For Example: CO_2,NO_2 etc..

<u>Option D:</u> Hydrogen bonding is defined as the intermolecular force having partial ionic-covalent character. This type of bonding takes place between a hydrogen atom (attached with an electronegative atom e.g. O, N and F) and an electronegative atom (O,N and F).

Group 2 elements are considered as metals having general electronic configuration as ns^2

They will loose 2 electrons to form X^{2+} ions and thus tends to form ionic bonds.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

  • <u>For c:</u>

When a positive ion gains electrons equal to the charge on the ion, the positive charge will get neutralized by the negative charge.

X^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow X

The ion will loose its charge and will form a neutral atom.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

What is advantage of using single fixed pulley although it doesnot multiply force?​
luda_lava [24]

A single fixed pulley is used to lift load by changing the direction of the lifting force. Even though a single fixed pulley has no mechanical gain in that, the effort applied is greater than the load, it is preferred in use since you do not have to pull or push the pulley up and down.

Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond
maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

Choose the correct statement.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

B) Cations lose electrons having a charge of positive.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, it is widely known that ions are classified as positive cations and negative anions, since the former is produced when a metal loses electrons and the latter when a nonmetal gains electrons; in such a way, the correct choice is:

B) Cations lose electrons having a charge of positive.

Best regards!

Phosphate buffers are commonly used in biological research. If a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that
lozanna [386]

Answer:

A) [H3PO4] will increase, [KH2PO4] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution which resists changes to its pH when a small amount of acid or base is added to it.

Buffers consist of a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A–) or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Weak acids and bases do not completely dissociate in water, and instead exist in solution as an equilibrium of dissociated and undissociated species. When a small quantity of a strong acid is added to a buffer solution, the conjugate base, A-, reacts with the hydrogen ions from the added acid to form the weak acid and a salt thereby removing the extra hydrogen ions from the solution and keeping the pH of the solution fairly constant. On the other hand, if a small quantity of a strong base is added to the buffer solution, the weak acid dissociates further to release hydrogen ions which then react with the hydroxide ions of the added base to form water and the conjugate base.

For example, if a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that is 0.700 M H3PO4 and 0.700 M KH2PO4, the following reaction is obtained:

KH₂PO₄ + H+ ----> K+ + H₃PO₄

Therefore, [H₃PO₄] will increase, [KH₂PO₄] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.:
