Answer:

OBr₂

Explanation:

<em>The ionic character depends on the difference of electronegativity between the elements. The higher ΔEN, the greater the ionic character.</em>

SBr₂

ΔEN = |EN(S)-EN(Br)| = |2.5-2.8| = 0.3

OBr₂

ΔEN = |EN(O)-EN(Br)| = |3.5-2.8| = 0.7

SeCl₂

ΔEN = |EN(Se)-EN(Cl)| = |2.4-3.0| = 0.6

TeI₂

ΔEN = |EN(Te)-EN(I)| = |2.1-2.5| = 0.4

SCl₂

ΔEN = |EN(S)-EN(Cl)| = |2.5-3.0| = 0.5

OBr₂ is the molecule with the most ionic character.

Please help me, Thank you!

babymother [125]

Answer:

amount of charge

Explanation:

Oxygen and sulfur are both in Group 16, which means they have a -2 charge. They have two more electrons than protons, making the charge of the ion negative.

Hope that helps.

A gas mixture contains HBr, NO2, and C2H6 at STP.If a tiny hole is made in the container, which gas will effuse fastest?Which ga

MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Molar mass of HBr = 81 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide gas = 46 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane = 30 g/mol

Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

So, the gas with least molar mass will effuse out fastest from the container and that is ethane gas.

The formula for average kinetic energy is:

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}kT$

where,

k = Boltzmann’s constant = $1.38\times 10^{-23}J/K$

T = temperature = 273.15 K ( at STP)

As we can see from the formula that kinetic energy depends upon only temperature of the gas molecule.

So, from this we can say that all the gas molecules have the same average kinetic energy at this temperature.
