On the basis of electronegativity, which of these pairs of elements is most likely to form polyatomic ions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]3 years ago
7 0
Correct Answer: <span>O and P

Reason: 
The nature of bond depends on the electronegativity difference of constituent atoms. If difference in electronegativity of constituent atoms is more, it will result in ionic bonding. Alternatively, if difference in electronegativity of constituent atoms is less, it will prefer covalent bonding. Further,  covalently bonded </span><span>elements are most likely to form polyatomic ions.

In present case, electronegativity difference of O and P is minimum. Hence, they </span><span>are most likely to form polyatomic ions.</span>

What information do Quantum models show?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

quantum mechanical model: A model of the atom that derives from the Schrödinger wave equation and deals with probabilities. wave function: Give only the probability of finding an electron at a given point around the nucleus. The quantum mechanical model of the atom also uses complex shapes of orbitals (sometimes called electron clouds), volumes of space in which there is likely to be an electron. So, this model is based on probability rather than certainty.

1a) consider the mixed aldol condensation reaction of 1-methylcyclopentane-1-carbaldehyde (shown below) and 3,3-dimethyl-2-butan
zubka84 [21]
Aldehydes and ketones having α-hydrogen atoms, undergoes aldol condensation, in present of base (NaOH). 

The initial product formed during this reaction is β-hydroxy alcohol, which then undergoes dehydration to form α,β-unsaturated aldehyde or ketone.

In present case, 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone  has 2α-hyrogen atom, while methylcyclopentane-1-carbaldehyde has 1α-hydrogen atom. So the major product formed during cross aldol condensation reaction of these reactants is:
 5-hydroxy-4,4-dimethly-1-(2-methylcyclopentyl)pent-1-en-3-one. 

The complete reaction product formed is shown below.

A stock solution of 1.00 M Fe2(SO4)3 is available. How many milliliters are
Andrews [41]

Answer:

375 mL

Explanation:

M1*V1 = M2*V2

M1 = 1.00 M

V1 = ?

M2 = 0.750 M

V2 = 0.500 L

1.00 M * V1 = 0.750 M * 0.500 L

V1 = 0.750*0.500/1.00 = 0.375 L = 375 mL
