Because the elements in group 7A are good at forming salts, the are called HALOGENS; the word 'halogen' mean SALT FORMERS. The halogens refers to the five non metallic elements that are found in group 7A, these are chlorine, bromine, iodine, fluorine and astatine. Each of these elements has seven electrons in their outermost shell and will readily react with metals to form ionic compounds. They all have oxidation number of -1.

Which choice(s) correctly rank(s) the bonds in terms of increasing polarity?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

(II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity.

Explanation:

Bond polarity is proportional to difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms.

Atoms    Electronegativity          Bond        Electronegativity difference

Cl                          3.0                       Cl-F                      1.0

Br                          2.8                       Br-Cl                     0.2

F                            4.0                       Cl-Cl                      0

H                            2.1                       H-C                       0.4

C                            2.5                       H-N                       0.9

N                             3.0                      H-O                       1.4

O                             3.5                      Br-F                       1.2

I                               2.7                      I-F                         1.3

Si                             1.9                      Cl-F                       1.0  

P                              2.2                      Si-Cl                      1.1

                                                          Si-P                        0.3

                                                          Si-C                        0.6

                                                           Si-F                        2.1

So, clearly, order of increasing polarity : O-H > N-H > C-H

So, (II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity

What is the mole fraction of NaCl in a mixture containing 7.21 moles NaCl, 9.37 moles KCL, and 3.42
GrogVix [38]

Answer : The mole fraction of NaCl in a mixture is, 0.360

Explanation : Given,

Moles of NaCl = 7.21 mole

Moles of KCl = 9.37 mole

Moles of LiCl = 3.42 mole

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of NaCl.

\text{Mole fraction of }NaCl=\frac{\text{Moles of }NaCl}{\text{Moles of }NaCl+\text{Moles of }KCl+\text{Moles of }LiCl}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\text{Mole fraction of }NaCl=\frac{7.21}{7.21+9.37+3.42}=0.360

Therefore, the mole fraction of NaCl in a mixture is, 0.360
