Answer:

b. ICl experiences dipole-dipole interactions

Explanation:

The molecule with the stronger intermolecular forces will have the higher boiling point.

In Br₂, the Br-Br bond has a dipole moment of zero, because the two atoms are identical.

In ICl, the I-Cl bond, has two different atoms. One must be more electronegative than the other, so there will be a non-zero bond dipole.

ICl will have the higher boiling point.

a is wrong. Br₂ is nonpolar, so it has no dipole-dipole interactions.

c is wrong. Br₂ cannot form hydrogen bonds, because there is no hydrogen.

d is wrong. ICl has dipole-dipole interactions.

Answer: 6.75 moles

Explanation:

This is a simple stoichiometry proboe. that I would set up like this:

(13.5 moles CuCI2) (1 mol I2 / 2 moles CuCi2)

That means you all you have to do for this problem is divide by 2 and cancel out the unit moles CuCI2, which leaves you with 6.75 moles I2.

Hope this helps :)

How do the valence electrons of an element determine how they will combine with other elements to produce a compound? Please hel

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence electrons are electrons found on the valence (outermost) shell of an atom.

When an atoms form compounds, there is an exchange of valence electrons between the atoms of one element and the atoms of another element.

Let us consider a typical example, sodium has one valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. This means that chlorine needs one electron to complete its octet while sodium needs to release one electron in order to attain the octet structure.

So, sodium gives out its one electron and becomes a stable sodium ion and chlorine accepts that electron and becomes a stable chloride ion. This is how the compound sodium chloride is formed.

How are salinity, temperature and circulation related?

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Salinity, along with temperature, determines the density of seawater, and hence its vertical flow patterns in thermohaline circulation. 2. Salinity records the physical processes affecting a water mass when it was last at the surface. Hope this helps!
