Answer:

  • <u><em>polar covalent bond.</em></u>

Explanation:

Polar covalent bonds are formed when the electrons are not shared equally.

The unequal sharing of electrons happens when the electronegativities of the atoms that form the bonds are different.

The electronegativity of<em> hydrogen </em>atoms is found to be 2.20 and that of <em>oxygen</em> is 3.44.

So, the electronegativity difference found in a H - O bond is 3.44 - 2.20 = 1.24.

That means that oxygen atoms pull the electrons more strongly than hydrogen atoms, which results in that the electrons spend more time closer to the hydrogen atoms than to the oxygen atoms.

As the temperature of a gas increases the pressure it exerts on its container also increases
Alina [70]
If the temperature is increased, the average speed and kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase. If the volume is held constant, the increased speed of the gas molecules results in more frequent and more forceful collisions with the walls of the container, therefore increasing the pressure

Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is composed of c, h, and n. A 2.625-mg sample of nicotine was combusted, producing 7.1210 mg o
Vikki [24]

The mass sample of nicotine combusted = 2.625 mg  (given)

Mass of CO_2 produced = 7.1210 mg  (given)

Mass of H_2O produced = 2.042 mg  (given)

Molar mass of CO_2 = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of H_2O = 18 g/mol

Percentage of Carbon = \frac{12 g}{44 g/mol}\times \frac{7.120 mg of CO_2}{2.625 mg sample}\times 100 = 74.04%

Percentage of hydrogen = \frac{2 g}{18 g/mol}\times \frac{2.04 mg of H_2O}{2.625 mg sample}\times 100 = 8.62%

Now, for percentage of nitrogen = 100 - (74.04+8.62) = 17.34%

Calculating the moles of each element:

Number of moles = \frac{given mass}{Molar mass}

  • For C

\frac{74.04 g}{12 g/mol} = 6.17 mol

  • For H

\frac{8.62 g}{1 g/mol} = 8.62 mol

  • For N

\frac{17.34 g}{14 g/mol} = 1.24 mol

Dividing with the smallest mole value to calculate the molar ratio of each element:

C_{\frac{6.17}{1.24}} = C_{4.9} = C_5

H_{\frac{8.62}{1.24}} = H_{6.9} = H_7

N_{\frac{1.24}{1.24}} = N_1

Hence, the empirical formula for nicotine is C_5H_7N.

How are the elements arranged in the modern periodic table?
VladimirAG [237]
In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged by atomic number.<span> They are placed with the lowest atomic number first, and elements with increasing atomic numbers run to the right. They are also arranged in vertical columns known as groups, with these groupings based on shared properties.</span>

Which of the following statements about the Diels-Alder reaction are TRUE?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

A.It is a reaction involving pi-electrons.

D.It is *not* a reaction favored by entropy considerations.

Explanation:

The Diels-Alder reaction is a [4+2]- cycloadition that involoves pi-electrons (4 from the diene and 2 from the dienophile).

The reaction is favored by the formation of new sigma bond, since they are more stable than pi-bonds. This reaction is not favored by entropy because there are 2 reactants and one product and the order increases.

The reaction happens in one step.
