Hey there!:
density = 3.51 g/cm³
Volume = 0.0270 cm³
Therefore:
D = m / V
3.51 = m / 0.0270
m = 3.51 * 0.0270
m = 0.09477 g
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.
<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.
Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>
Answer:
The correct option is;
4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm
Explanation:
The parameters given are;
Phosphorus:
Atomic radius = 109 pm
Covalent radius = 106 pm
Ionic radius = 212 pm
Electronegativity of phosphorus = 2.19
Selenium:
Atomic radius = 122 pm
Covalent radius = 116 pm
Ionic radius = 198 pm
Electronegativity of selenium= 2.55
The percentage ionic character of the chemical bond between phosphorus and selenium is given by the relation;
Using Pauling's alternative electronegativity difference method, we have;
![\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (\bigtriangleup E.N.)^{1.4} \right ] \%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%25%20%5C%2C%20Ionic%20%5C%20Character%20%3D%20%5Cleft%20%5B18%5Ctimes%20%28%5Cbigtriangleup%20E.N.%29%5E%7B1.4%7D%20%20%5Cright%20%5D%20%5C%25)
Where:
Δ E.N. = Change in electronegativity = 2.55 - 2.19 = 0.36
Therefore;
![\% \, Ionic \ Character = \left [18\times (0.36)^{1.4} \right ] \% = 4.3 \%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%25%20%5C%2C%20Ionic%20%5C%20Character%20%3D%20%5Cleft%20%5B18%5Ctimes%20%280.36%29%5E%7B1.4%7D%20%20%5Cright%20%5D%20%5C%25%20%3D%204.3%20%5C%25)
Hence the percentage ionic character = 4.3% ≈ 4%
the percentage covalent character = (100 - 4.3)% = 95.7% ≈ 96%
The bond length for the covalent bond is found adding the covalent radii of both atoms as follows;
The bond length for the covalent bond = 106 pm + 116 pm = 222 pm.
The correct option is therefore, 4 percent ionic, 96 percent covalent, 222 pm.
Explanation:
The rest of the energy is passed on as food to the next level of the food chain. The figure at the left shows energy flow in a simple food chain. Notice that at each level of the food chain, about 90% of the energy is lost in the form of heat.
