Answer:

OBr₂

Explanation:

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

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.

A party balloon contains 5.50 x 10 ^22 atoms of helium gas. What is the mass, in grams of the

eduard

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 0.365 \ g\ He}}$

Explanation:

1. Convert Atoms to Moles

We must use Avogadro's Number: 6.022*10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of helium. We can create a ratio.

$\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ He}{1 \ mol \ He}$

Multiply by the given number of helium atoms.

$5.50 *10^{22} \ atoms \ He *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ He}{1 \ mol \ He}$

Flip the fraction so the atoms of helium cancel.

$5.50 *10^{22} \ atoms \ He *\frac {1 \ mol \ He}{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ He}$

$5.50 *10^{22} *\frac {1 \ mol \ He}{6.022*10^{23} }$

$\frac {5.50 *10^{22} \ mol \ He}{6.022*10^{23} }= 0.09133178346 \ mol \ He$

2. Convert Moles to Grams

We must use the molar mass, which is found on the Periodic Table.

Helium (He): 4.00 g/mol

Use this as a ratio.

$\frac { 4.00 \ g \ He }{ 1 \ mol \ He}$

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated. The moles will then cancel.

$0.09133178346 \ mol \ He *\frac { 4.00 \ g \ He }{ 1 \ mol \ He}$

$0.09133178346*\frac { 4.00 \ g \ He }{ 1 }$

$0.3653271338 \ g\ He$

3. Round

The original measurement has 3 significant figures (5, 5, and 0). Our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, it is thousandth place. The 3 in the ten thousandth place tells us to leave the 5.

$0.365 \ g\ He$

The mass is 0.365 grams of helium so choice A is correct.

1) Consider this row in the periodic table. What changes can you predict based on what information is provided by the boxes for

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

B) As you move across the row, the number of electrons increases and reactivity also increases.

Explanation:

The periodic table is arranged in a way that if you go across a period, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an element increases. In terms of reactivity, the most reactive elements are the ones which have a high electronegativity. The electronegativity of the elements increases as you travel to the right and upwards on the periodic table.

How many moles are in 100g of carbon dioxide?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, let's find the molar mass of CO₂. This is 12 + 2(16) = 44 g/mole.

Now we can write 100g * (1 mole / 44g) = 2.27 mol, or A. Hope this helps!
