Answer:

The *intramolecular* bonding between the Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms are called Covalent Bonds.

Covalent bonds are strong electrostatic attractions between 2 positively charged nuclei and a shared pair of electrons.

The *intermolecular bonding* of water molecules is called hydrogen bonding as well as instantaneous - induced dipole interaction.

Instantaneous-induced dipoles is where 2 water molecules interact. The results in negative electron clouds repelling each other resulting in a region of positive charge - the molecules are said to have an induced positive charge.

This water molecule with an induced positive charge then attracts electrons from a neighbouring water molecules - resulting in an instantaneous negative dipole.

These dipoles are fleeting/temporary and are the weakest intermolecular bonds.

Hydrogen bonding is a result of the 2 line pair of electrons in Oxygen atom of the water moelcule. These electrons are attracted to extremely electronegative (electronegativity :ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons) elements such as Oxygen from a neighbouring water molecule resulting in what is known as hydrogen bonding,

Which of the following molecules is nonpolar?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1. BF3 This is a trigonal planar molecule; the electron density is drawn into a cloud that circles the Boron, this is made nonpolar by the geometrically equivalent structure of the surrounding electronegative Fluorines.

2. H2O The 2 lone pairs of e- of Oxygen makes the O partially negative, the H’s, partially positive. Polar.

3. NF3 Lone pair on Nitrogen overwhelmed by the 3 incredibly electronegative Fluorines. Polar

4. CH3Br The “Soft Ion” of Bromine is negative; it is electronegative. Polar.

5. SO2 the lone pairs of Oxygen, at approximately 119°-120° angles to one another will form a reasonance structure; there will be more lone pairs about the Oxygen than the Sulfur; the Sulfur will be partially positive compared to the oxygens. Polar.

How many grams (m) of glucose are in 165 ml of a 5.50% (m/v) glucose solution? express your answer numerically in grams?
Leya [2.2K]
     <span> mass of glucose = 0.055 *165 = 9.075 g

vol of methyl alc = 0.185 * 1.87 = 0.346 L = 346 ml

% NaCl ( m/v ) = mass NaCl * 100/ vol of soln

or Vol of Soln = mass NaCl / % NaCl (m/v)

= 32.1 * 100 / 6 = 535 ml the total vol of soln</span>

Assuming 1 mol of Fe3+ and 2 mol of SCN- were allowed to react and reach equilibrium. 0.5 mol of product was formed. The total v
zaharov [31]

Answer:

a. 0.5 mol

b. 1.5 mol

c. 0.67

Explanation:

Fe3+ + SCN- -----> [FeSCN]2+

a. The ratio of the product to Fe3+ is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of Fe3+ was used. Leaving 0.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

b. The ratio of the product to SCN= is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of SCN- was used. Leaving 1.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

c. KC =  0.5/(0.5*1.5) =  0.67

Which transition in the hydrogen atom produces emitted light with the longest wavelength?
monitta

Answer:

Red light has the longest wavelength

Explanation:

Red light is emitted when a high energy state  electron drops from  high energy level  3 to low energy level 2. Red light has the longest wavelength and lowest energy. It is a know fact that the shorter the drop within energy levels, the  lesser the energy.
