Explanation:

MWQ means the minimum weighable quantity.

Mathematically,         MWQ = \frac{Sensitivity}{1 - \text{fraction of accuracy}}

or,        MWQ = \frac{sensitivity}{\text{fractional error}}

It is given that sensitivity is 4.5 mg and maximum permitted error is 3.6%.

Therefore, fraction error = \frac{3.6}{100} = 0.036

Hence, we will calculate MWQ as follows.

                  MWQ = \frac{sensitivity}{\text{fractional error}}

                            = \frac{4.5 mg}{0.036}

                            = 125 mg

Thus, we can conclude that the MWQ of the given balance is 125 mg.

Julli [10]
For [Ni(en)³]²⁺ which is purple, the crystal field splitting energy is greater than the complex ion, [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ which is green in color.
When a Lewis base id attached to the metal ion by covalent bond, then the complex ion is formed and when these complex ions are present with other ions of opposite charge or neutral charge, they will make complex compounds.

An element with an electronegativity of 0.9 bonds with an element with an electronegativity of 3.1.. Which phase best describes
eduard
Electronegativity is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself. When a chlorine atom covalently bonds to another chlorine atom, the shared electron pair is shared equally. The electron density that comprises the covalent bond is located halfway between the two atoms.

But what happens when the two atoms involved in a bond aren’t the same? The two positively charged nuclei have different attractive forces; they “pull” on the electron pair to different degrees. The end result is that the electron pair is shifted toward one atom.

ATTRACTING ELECTRONS: ELECTRONEGATIVITIES

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The following figure shows the electronegativity values of the various elements below each element symbol on the periodic table. With a few exceptions, the electronegativities increase, from left to right, in a period, and decrease, from top to bottom, in a family.

Electronegativities give information about what will happen to the bonding pair of electrons when two atoms bond. A bond in which the electron pair is equally shared is called a nonpolar covalent bond. You have a nonpolar covalent bond anytime the two atoms involved in the bond are the same or anytime the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved in the bond is very small.



Now consider hydrogen chloride (HCl). Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.

A bond in which the electron pair is shifted toward one atom is called a polar covalent bond. The atom that more strongly attracts the bonding electron pair is slightly more negative, while the other atom is slightly more positive. The larger the difference in the electronegativities, the more negative and positive the atoms become.

Now look at a case in which the two atoms have extremely different electronegativities — sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium chloride is ionically bonded. An electron has transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium has an electronegativity of 1.0, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0.

That’s an electronegativity difference of 2.0 (3.0 – 1.0), making the bond between the two atoms very, very polar. In fact, the electronegativity difference provides another way of predicting the kind of bond that will form between two elements, as indicated in the following table.
