Why don't metals form covalent compounds?

Chemistry

Firdavs [7]3 years ago

Metals don't form covalent bonds because of the low ionization energes of the metal atoms. It is easier for them to release electrons rather than sharing it. But this is not always the case, there are some metals that can form covalent bonds.

You are provided with a compound fertilizer, 40-15-10.Calculate the quantity of fertilizer to add to a one hectare field supply
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a. 300 kg of Fertilizer

b. 225 kg of fertilizer

c.400 Kg of fertilizer

d.600 Kg of fertilizer

Explanation:

The percentage composition ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium bag of the given fertilizer is 40:15:10.

The percentages can be expressed as fractions as follows:

For nitrogen; 40/100 = 0.4

For phosphorus; 15/100 = 0.15

For potassium; 10/100 = 0.1

To find the quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply the given amount of nutrients, the amount to be provided is divided by the percentage or fractional compostion of each nutrient.

Quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply;

a. Nitrogen at 120 kg/ha = 120/0.4 = 300 Kg of fertilizer

b.. Nitrogen at 90 Kg/ha = 90/0.4 = 225 Kg of fertilizer

c. Phosphorus at  60 kg/ha = 60/0.15 = 400 Kg of fertilizer

d. Potassium at 60 kg/ha = 60/0.1 = 600 Kg of fertilizer

Answer:

11.9 g of nitrogen monoxide

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 6.75 g of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NH₃ = 6.75 g

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + (3×1)

= 14 + 3

= 17 g/mol

Mole of NH₃ =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of NH₃ = 6.75 / 17

Mole of NH₃ = 0.397 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of NO produced by the reaction of 0.397 mole of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ —> 4NO + 6H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of NH₃ reacted to produce 4 moles of NO.

Therefore, 0.397 mole of NH₃ will also react to produce 0.397 mole of NO.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 0.397 mole of NO. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NO = 0.397 mole

Molar mass of NO = 14 + 16 = 30 g/mol

Mass of NO =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of NO = 0.397 × 30

Mass of NO = 11.9 g

Thus, the mass of NO produced is 11.9 g

Iodine 131, cesium 137, and strontium 90 are all considered isotopes. What are isotopes?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.

Explanation:

If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.

Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.
