quester [9]3 years ago

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there occurs sharing of electrons between the two combining atoms then the bond formed is known as a covalent bond. Whereas when there occurs transfer of electrons between the combining atoms then the bond formed is known as ionic bond.

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Both phosphorous and chlorine belongs to third period and both of them are non-metals.

Atomic number of P is 15 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 5. Atomic number of Cl is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

Therefore, in order to attain stability both P and Cl will combine with each other by sharing electrons and hence, they will form a covalent bond.

Thus, we can conclude that a phosphorus atom and a chlorine atom are likely to form a covalent bond because both elements are non-metals.

Which of the newman structures below represents this conformation of 2-methyl-3-pentanol, as viewed along the c2-c3 bond?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

(4) option is correct

Explanation:

Given that,

The conformation of 2-methyl-3-pentanol, as viewed along the C₂-C₃ bond.

We need to find the Newman structures

Using given structures

The structure of 2- methyl-3- pentanol is shown in figure.

Through C₂-C₃ carbon shown the structure of Newman projection in figure.

Here, carbon 2 is in front side and carbon 3 is in back side in the figure.

Hence, (4) option is correct.

What are the magnitude (size) and direction of the cumulative force acting on the car shown in the picture A. 30 N to the right
UNO [17]

Answer: The correct answer is option(A).

Explanation:

Total forces exerting on the car = F

F_r=50 N= Force on car exerting in right direction

F_l=20 N= Force on car exerting in left direction

F_u=2500 N= Force on car exerting in upward direction

F_d=2500 N= Force on car exerting in downward direction

F=F_r+F_l+F_u+F_d

(-F_u)=F_d (negative sign shows the direction)

Since, upward force are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction by which they will balance out each other.so, the net force car will be due to two forces F_r and F_l

F=F_r+F_l=50 N+(-20 N)=30 N(negative shows the direction)

The magnitude (size) and direction of the cumulative force acting on the car will 30 N towards right direction.Hence, correct answer is option(A).

An atom has 24 protons, 22 electrons, and 28 neutrons. What is the MASS # of the atom
sleet_krkn [62]

The mass of an atom is given by the sum of the number of PROTONS and the number of NEUTRONS since ELETRON'S mass is negligible.

The mass is 24+28 = 52.
