Yes, because it comes from a one thing and spreads throughout the entire space. Similar to dripping foot coloring into a glass of water, or spraying air freshener.
To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:
I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).
Answer:
2.7 × 10⁻⁴ bar
Explanation:
Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.
SbCl₅(g) ⇄ SbCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)
The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) is 3.5 × 10⁻⁴. We can use these data and the partial pressures at equilibrium of SbCl₅ and SbCl₃, to find the partial pressure at equilibrium of Cl₂.
Kp = pSbCl₃ × pCl₂ / pSbCl₅
pCl₂ = Kp × pSbCl₅ / pSbCl₃
pCl₂ = 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ × 0.17 / 0.22
pCl₂ = 2.7 × 10⁻⁴ bar
Answer:
1. Participating in calcium homeostatis storage of calcium.
2. High capacity calcium (Ca) regulation and protection against herbivory
The definition in Volume is a the amount of space a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container, especially when great. For example "The sewer could not cope with the volume of rainwater" . You can say it in different ways, such as capacity, size, magnitude, mass, bulk, extent and more. I hope this helps :-).
