In a nonpolar covalent bond,

Answer:

#11: In a nonpolar covalent bond, electrons are shared equally between two atoms.

#12: Only the diatomic nitrogen molecule \rm N_2 contains a triple covalent bond among the four molecules.

Explanation:

<h3>#11</h3>

Consider: what is a covalent bond?

Two atoms share a pair of electrons (called a bonding pair as opposed to a lone pair) between them.

Nonpolar covalent bonds exist only between atoms with similar electronegativity values. The two bonding atoms attract the bonding pair with similar strength, such that the bonding pair is shared mostly equally between the two atoms.

In case the two atoms differ in their electronegativity, the bonding pair will be closer to the more electronegative atom. That will make a polar covalent bond.

<h3>#12</h3>

Atoms share electrons with each other to achieve an octet of eight valence electrons (two for hydrogen.) Atoms form a covalent bond for every two valence electrons that they need.

Consider: how many electrons do atoms in each molecule need to gain before achieving an octet?

Fluorine is in group 17 of the new IUPAC periodic table. Each fluorine atom needs 18 - 17 = 1 valence electron to achieve an octet. There are two fluorine atoms in an \rm F_2 molecule. These two atoms will need two electrons in total to achieve an octet. They will thus need to form 2/2 = 1 covalent bond.

Similarly:

  • Nitrogen is in group 15.
  • Each Nitrogen atom is 18 - 15 = 3 electrons away from an octet.
  • There are two nitrogen atoms in each \rm N_2 molecule.
  • The two nitrogen atoms need six more electrons in total and will form 6/2 =3 covalent bonds.
  • Oxygen is in group 16.
  • Each oxygen atom is 18 - 16 = 2 electrons away from an octet.
  • There are two oxygen atoms in each \rm O_2 molecule.
  • The two oxygen atoms need four more electrons in total and will form 4/2 =2 covalent bonds.
  • Hydrogen is a special case in the "octet" rule.
  • Each hydrogen atom needs one valence electron to attain the electron configuration of the next noble gas element, He.
  • There are two hydrogen atoms in each \rm H_2 molecule.
  • The two hydrogen atoms need two more electrons in total and will form 2/2 =1 covalent bonds.

Answer:

11.  Electrons are shared equally by two atoms.

12. Diatomic nitrogen

Explanation:

An example of  the  the first  bond is the diatomic hydrogen.

There are 5  electrons in the nitrogen atom's outer shell. The 2 nitrogen atoms will each share 3 electrons to form 3 covalent bonds.

How many atoms of Iodine are in a 12.75g sample of CaI2?
Inessa [10]

Answer is: 5.22·10²² atoms of Iodine.

m(CaI₂) = 12.75 g; mass of calcium iodide.

M(CaI₂) = 293.9 g/mol; molar mass of calcium iodide.

n(CaI₂) = m(CaI₂) ÷ M(CaI₂).

n(CaI₂) = 12.75 g ÷ 293.9 g/mol.

n(CaI₂) = 0.043 mol; amount of calcium iodide.

In one molecule of calcium iodide, there are two iodine atoms

n(I) = 2 · n(CaI₂).

n(I) = 0.086 mol; amount of iodine atoms.

Na = 6.022·10²³ 1/mol; Avogadro number.

N(I) = n(I) · Na.

N(I) = 0.086 mol · 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.

N(I) = 5.22·10²²; number of iodine atoms.

If 1.2 moles of ideal gas occupy a volume of 18.2 L at a pressure of 1.8 ATM what is the temperature of gas in degrees Celsius.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: A 59.5 degree celcius

The equation that we will use to solve this problem is :

PV = nRT where:

P is the pressure of gas = 1.8 atm

V is the volume of gas = 18.2 liters

n is the number of moles of gas = 1.2 moles

R is the gas constant =  0.0821

T is the temperature required (calculated in kelvin)

Using these values to substitute in the equation, we find that:

(1.8)(18.2) = (1.2)(0.0821)(T)

T = 332.5 degree kelvin

The last step is to convert the degree kelvin into degree celcius:

T = 332.5 - 273 = 59.5 degree celcius

Sedaia [141]

Answer: On losing 6 moles of water, cobalt chloride forms unstable violet-coloured ions, before generating its stable blue-coloured anhydrous form.

Explanation:

The hydrated cobalt chloride loses its 6 water of crystallization, then dissociates into ions: cobalt ions and chlorine ions that appear violet, and quickly combined to form the stable anhydrous Cobalt chloride with blue colour.
