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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]2 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>

Express the following numbers as decimals: (a) 1.52 x 10^-2, (b) 7.78 x 10^-8, (c) 1 x 10^-6, (d) 1.6001 x 10^3.
Alchen [17]

Answer :

(a) 0.0152

(b) 0.0000000778

(c) 0.000001

(d) 1600.1

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example :

5000 is written as 5.0\times 10^3

889.9 is written as 8.899\times 10^{-2}

In this examples, 5000 and 889.9 are written in the standard notation and 5.0\times 10^3  and 8.899\times 10^{-2}  are written in the scientific notation.

(a) 1.52\times 10^{-2}

The standard notation is, 0.0152

(b) 7.78\times 10^{-8}

The standard notation is, 0.0000000778

(c) 1\times 10^{-6}

The standard notation is, 0.000001

(d) 1.6001\times 10^{3}

The standard notation is, 1600.1

What is the pH of a<br> 2.5 x 10-5 M solution<br> of HCI?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 4.60.

Explanation:

The pH gives us an idea of the acidity or basicity of a solution. More precisely, it indicates the concentration of H30 + ions present in said solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14: from 0 to 7 corresponds to acid solutions, 7 neutral solutions and between 7 and 14 basic solutions. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H30 +)

pH= -log (2,5 x 10-5)

<em>pH=4.60</em>

I AM GIVING BRAINLIEST PLEASEE HELPPPP I NEED HELPPPPPP PLEAEEEEEE
True [87]

Answer:

0.479 M or mol/L

Explanation:

So Molarity is moles/litres of solution...often written as M=mol/L

So here we are given grams of BaCl2 which we have to convert to moles. To convert to moles of BaCl2 we have to divide 63.2 g BaCl2 by molar mass of BaCl2 which is 208.23 g/mol so you get 63.2/208.23 = 0.3035 moles of BaCl2

Second step is converting the 634mL to litres by simply dividing by 1000 because we know 1 litre has 1000ml so 634/1000 = 0.634L

Now we just plug these guys in our molarity formula M=mol/L

M= 0.3035/0.634 = 0.479 M or mol/L
