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.

A compound with molecular formula C6H15N exhibits a singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H), a triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H), a singlet at 1.15 ppm
Triss [41]

Answer:

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3

Explanation:

The 1HNMR is the acronym for Proton nuclear magnetic resonance and it is used in chemistry or Chemical laboratory for the analysis and identification of compounds.

In order to be able to answer the question accurately you have to have the tables containing all the values for chemical shift. The Chemical shift is measured in ppm and it occur due to Resonance frequency variation.

From the table, a singlet at 1.15 ppm (9H) is - C(CH3)3.

A singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H) shows the presence of a secondary amine group, that is -R2NH group.

A triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H) shows that we have;

CH3- CH2-

A quartet at 2.6 ppm (2H) shows that we have;

-CH2 - CH3.

Therefore, joining all together we have;

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3.

Kindly check attached file for the picture of the structure.

Draw a Lewis structure for C2H3Cl . Include all hydrogen atoms and show all unshared electron pairs. None of the atoms bears a f
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since C2H3Cl is an organic compound we need a central C-C parent chain to which the three hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom provides the electrons to get all the octets except for H as given on the statement.

In such a way, on the attached picture you can find the required Lewis dot structure without formal charges and with all the unshared electron pairs, considering there is a double bond binding the central carbon atoms in order to compete their octets.

Best regards!

Consider the reaction 3X + 2Y 5C + 4D
xeze [42]

Answer:

This problem is providing a chemical equation between two hypothetical elements, X and Y and asks for the molesof X that are needed to 

produce 21.00 moles of D in excess Y. After the following work, the answer turns out to be 15.75 mol X:Mole ratios:In chemistry, one the most crucial branches is stoichiometry, which allows us to perform calculations with grams, moles and particles (atoms, molecules and ions). It is based on the concept of mole ratios, whereby the moles of a specific substance can be converted to moles of another one, say product to reactant, reactant to reactant, reactant to product and product to product.

Calculations:In such a way, since 21.00 moles of D are given, we need the mole ratio of D to X in order to get the answer, which according to the reaction is 3:4 based on their coefficients in the reaction. Hence, we calculate the required as follows:
