Ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge (cation) and that which accepts electrons gains a negative charge (anion). Now, electronegativity is a parameter that measures the tendency of an atom to accept electrons. In the context of ionic bonding, two elements which show a significant difference in their electronegativity values form ionic bonds.
In the given examples, the difference in electronegativity is greatest between K and Br i.e. 0.8 and 2.8 respectively with a difference of 2.0. This also makes sense since K and Br are on the extreme ends of the periodic table. Hence, potassium with a valence electron configuration of 4s1 will lose its s electron to Br (4s24p6) and form an ionic molecule K⁺Br⁻
Ans E) potassium and bromine
<u>Answer:</u> The spacing between the crystal planes is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the spacing between the crystal planes, we use the equation given by Bragg, which is:
where,
n = order of diffraction = 2
= wavelength of the light = 
(Conversion factor: 
)
d = spacing between the crystal planes = ?
= angle of diffraction = 22.20°
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the spacing between the crystal planes is
The answer is A. the solar ultraviolet ray breaks the molecule apart
Answer:
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift – the idea that Earth's continents move. Despite publishing a large body of compelling fossil and rock evidence for his theory between 1912 and 1929, it was rejected by most other scientists.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
2.067 L ≅ 2.07 L.
Explanation:
- The balanced equation for the mentioned reaction is:
<em>CS₂(g) + 3O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g),</em>
It is clear that 1.0 mole of CS₂ react with 3.0 mole of O₂ to produce 1.0 mole of CO₂ and 2.0 moles of SO₂.
- At STP, 3.6 L of H₂ reacts with (?? L) of oxygen gas:
It is known that at STP: every 1.0 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L.
<u><em>using cross multiplication:</em></u>
1.0 mol of O₂ represents → 22.4 L.
??? mol of O₂ represents → 3.1 L.
∴ 3.1 L of O₂ represents = (1.0 mol)(3.1 L)/(22.4 L) = 0.1384 mol.
- To find the no. of moles of SO₂ produced from 3.1 liters (0.1384 mol) of hydrogen:
<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>
3.0 mol of O₂ produce → 2.0 mol of SO₂, from stichiometry.
0.1384 mol of O₂ produce → ??? mol of SO₂.
∴ The no. of moles of SO₂ = (2.0 mol)(0.1384 mol)/(3.0 mol) = 0.09227 mol.
- Again, using cross multiplication:
1.0 mol of SO₂ represents → 22.4 L, at STP.
0.09227 mol of SO₂ represents → ??? L.
∴ The no. of liters of SO₂ will be produced = (0.09227 mol)(22.4 L)/(1.0 mol) = 2.067 L ≅ 2.07 L.
