How does the electro negativity difference between atoms determine the type of bond they will form

1 answer:

4 0

The absolute value of the difference in electronegativity (ΔEN) of two bonded atoms provides a rough measure of the polarity to be expected in the bond and, thus, the bond type. When the difference is very small or zero, the bond is covalent and nonpolar. When it is large, the bond is polar covalent or ionic.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that contains 10.89% magnesium 31.77% chloride and 57.34% oxygen

Blizzard [7]

Answer: $Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}$

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Mg = 10.89 g

Mass of Cl = 31.77 g

Mass of O = 57.34 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Mg= $\frac {\text{ given mass of Mg}}{\text{ molar mass of Mg}}= \frac {10.89g}{24g/mole}=0.45moles$

Moles of Cl = $\frac {\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac {31.77g}{35.5g/mole}=0.89moles$

Moles of O = $\frac {\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}=\frac {57.34g}{16g/mole}=3.58moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Mg = $\frac {0.45}{0.45}=1$

For Cl = $\frac {0.89}{0.45}=2$

For O= $\frac {3.58}{0.45}=8$

The ratio of Mg :Cl : O= 1 : 2 : 8

Hence the empirical formula is $Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}$

Silicon has a relatively large latent heat of vaporization of 12800 J/g. This indicates that silicon has:

beks73 [17]

I believe it means that it takes a lot of heat in joules to make silicon vaporize so it stays solid until a great deal of heat has been added. By comparison, water has a latent heat of about 2260 joules per gram so vaporizes much more readily than silicon.

When magnesium chloride is formed what question will the student need to ask prior to writing the formula?

ivann1987 [24]

Prior to writing the chemical formula of magnesium chloride, a question which any student will need to ask is: A. What are the oxidation numbers of each atom?

A chemical formula can be defined as a scientific notation that is used to show (represent) the type and total number of atoms that constitute a particular chemical molecule or compound, by using the oxidation number, chemical symbols and subscripts.

Hence, a student would need to know the oxidation numbers of each atom when magnesium chloride is formed after a chemical reaction.

In Chemistry, an oxidation number represents the number of electrons <u>gained</u> or <u>lost</u> by an atom of a chemical element during a chemical reaction.

In conclusion, when magnesium chloride is formed, a question which the student will need to ask prior to writing the chemical formula is "what are the oxidation numbers of each atom?"
