Answer: A: high ionization energies; high electron affinitlies.
Explanation: Covalent bonds are basically about sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve that stable structure. They are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). Covalent bonding usually occurs between two non-metals.
For effective and proper bonding, the two atoms involved in the covalent bonding exercise should be small and hungry for electrons. This is to enable the nuclei of both atoms to effectively attract and hold the shared electron(s) in place; hence, the need for high ionization energies & high electron affinities for a more effective covalent bonding.
Answer:
22 electrons are in the compound CO2. And the correct answer is Phosphorus tribromide.
Explanation:
Answer:
The question is incomplete and confusing.
- In the complete ionic equation you write all the ions that are formed. Those are: Pb²⁺, NO₃⁻, K⁺, and I⁻. They all are present in the complete ionic equation.
- In the net ionic equation, the spectator ions do not appear. They are: NO₃⁻ and K⁺. They would not be present in the net ionic equation, but they do in the complete ionic equation.
See below the details.
Explanation:
Which compound will not form ions?
<u />
<u>1. Write the balanced molecular equation:</u>
- Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KI(aq) → PbI₂(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)
<u />
<u>2. Write the ionizations for the ionic aqueous compounds:</u>
<u />
- Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → Pb⁺²(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)
- 2KI(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq)
- 2KNO₃(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)
<u />
<u>3. Write the complete ionic equation:</u>
Pb⁺²(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) → PbI₂(s) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)
Hence, since PbI₂(s) does not ionize, but stays in solid form, it will not form ions.
All, Pb⁺², NO₃⁻, K⁺, and I⁻ will be present in the total ionic equation.
It is in the net ionic equation that the spectator ions are removed. Those, are NO₃⁻ and K⁺, because they are on both sides of the complete ionic equation.
