Explain why elements with low electronegativities can conduct electricity

1 answer:

7 0

In contrast, elements with a low electronegativity (χ≤1.8) have electron affinities that have either positive or small negative values and small ionization potentials, so they are generally metals and good electrical conductors that tend to lose their valence electrons in chemical reactions (i.e., they are reductants)

. What is a carbonyl group? Draw the carbonyl groups that are characteristic of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters

Elan Coil [88]

Answer :

Carbonyl group : It is a functional group composed of a carbon atom that double bonded to oxygen atom. It is represented as $C=O$

Carboxylic group : It is the class of organic compound in which the carboxylic (-COOH) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as carboxylic.

The general formula of carboxylic is, $C_nH_{2n+1}COOH$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the carboxylic are named as alkanoic acids.

Aldehyde group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CHO) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as aldehyde.

The general representation of aldehyde is, $R-CHO$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the aldehyde are named as alkanals.

Ketone group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ketone.

The general representation of ketone is, $R-CO-R^'$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the ketone are named as alkanone.

Ester group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-COO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ester.

The general representation of ester is, $R-COO-R^'$ . According to the IUPAC naming, the ester are named as alkyl alkanoate.

Weak noncovalent interactions:__________ a. do not include ionic interactions b. always involve water. c. can have a large cumul

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

c. can have a large cumulative effect

Explanation:

Noncovalent interactions between molecules are weaker than covalent interactions. Noncovalent interactions between molecules are of various types which include van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions or ionic bonding.

van der Waals forces are weak interactions found in all molecules. They include dipole-dipole interactions - formed due to the differences in the electronegativity of atoms - and the London dispersion forces.

Hydrogen Bonds results when electrons are shared between hydrogen and a strongly electronegative atoms like fluorine, nitrogen, oxygen. The hydrogen acquires a partial positive charge while the electronegative atom acquires a partial negative. This results in attraction between hydrogen and neighboring electronegative molecules.

Ionic bonds result due to the attraction between groups with opposite electrical charges, for example in common salt between sodium and chloride ions.

Even though these noncovalent interactions are weak, cumulatively, they exert strong effect. For example, the high boiling point of water and the crystal structure of ice are due to hydrogen bonding.
