9. Explain why you can't write the formula of the ionic compound that forms between Fe and S?

Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to Fajan's rules, the degree of covalent character of a bond depends on the relative polarizing power of ions.

Generally, ions become more polarizing when they are small and highly charged. Large negative ions are more polarizable than small ones.

A very small positive charge concentrated on a small area such as in Fe^2+ makes the ion highly polarizing. Also, a large negative ion such as S^2- is highly polarizable.

As a result of these FeS has considerable covalent character hence we can not simply write the formula of the ionic compound that forms between Fe and S?

What do you think is the most important element and why? Include information
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

It is considered a special element due to its flexibility in giving up & taking in electrons, therefore making it good for organic & inorganic chemistry. Hydrogen has only one proton and one electron and is the only element which has no neutrons. it is considered as the simplest element in the universe and gives a valid reason for it to be the most abundant and common element in the universe.

Hoped this helped! If this doesn't fit your 80 word count, you could shorten it.

How is an oxidation half-reaction written using the reduction potential chart? How is the oxidation potential voltage determined
insens350 [35]
Oxidation  half  reaction  is  written   as    follows when  using  using  reduction potential  chart
example  when  using  copper  it is  written  as  follows
CU2+   +2e-  --> c(s)  +0.34v
 oxidasation  is the  loos  of  electron  hence copper oxidation  potential  is  as  follows
cu (s)  -->  CU2+   +2e    -0.34v

What is the pOH of a solution of HNO3 that has [OH-] = 9.50 10-9 M?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The pOH of HNO₃ solution that ha OH⁻ concentration 9.50 ×10⁻⁹M is 8.

Explanation:

Given data:

[OH⁻] = 9.50 ×10⁻⁹M

pOH = ?

Solution:

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

Now we will put the value of OH⁻ concentration.

pOH = -log[9.50 ×10⁻⁹M]

pOH = 8

Thus the pOH of HNO₃ solution that ha OH⁻ concentration 9.50 ×10⁻⁹M is 8.
