Ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge (cation) and that which accepts electrons gains a negative charge (anion). Now, electronegativity is a parameter that measures the tendency of an atom to accept electrons. In the context of ionic bonding, two elements which show a significant difference in their electronegativity values form ionic bonds.
In the given examples, the difference in electronegativity is greatest between K and Br i.e. 0.8 and 2.8 respectively with a difference of 2.0. This also makes sense since K and Br are on the extreme ends of the periodic table. Hence, potassium with a valence electron configuration of 4s1 will lose its s electron to Br (4s24p6) and form an ionic molecule K⁺Br⁻
Ans E) potassium and bromine
Difference between molecular weight and molar mass
Hint : Molar mass of molecules is also called molecular weight . Its unit is gram per mole. We can calculate molar mass of molecule with the help of following rules; ... Molar mass of nitric acid (HNO3) =atomic mass of hydrogen + atomic mass of nitrogen +3× atomic mass of oxygen .
Answer:
Average atomic mass = 6.96 amu.
Explanation:
Abundance of Li-6 = 4%
Abundance of Li-7 = 96%
Atomic mass of Li-6 = 6 amu
Atomic mass of Li-7 = 7 amu
Average atomic mass = ?
Solution:
Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100
Average atomic mass = (4×6)+(96×7) /100
Average atomic mass = 24 + 672 / 100
Average atomic mass = 696 / 100
Average atomic mass = 6.96 amu.
Mesosphere is what is in between
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different masses. The relative atomic mass (am) is a weighted average that takes into account the abundance of each isotope. We can calculate the relative atomic mass using the following expression.
where,
- abi: percent abundance of each isotope
For Gallium,
[1]
where "x" and "y" are the unknown abundances.
We also know that the sum of both abundances must be 100%.
x + y = 100
y = 100 - x [2]
If we replace [2] in [1], we get
Then, in [2]
y = 100 - x = 100 - 20.5 = 79.5
In conclusion, Ga-69 has an abundance of 20.5% and Ga-71 has an abundance of 79.5%.
