During a science investigation, a sample of matter breaks down into two kinds of atoms. Was the original sample an element or a

compound? Explain.

Hydrogen bonding is most often seen _____. see concept 2.3 (page 38) view available hint(s) hydrogen bonding is most often seen

Evgesh-ka [11]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

When hydrogen is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between molecules. It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom.
Highly electronegative atoms attract shared electrons more strongly than hydrogen does, resulting in a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atom. The slightly positive hydrogen atom is then attracted to another electronegative atom, forming a hydrogen bond.

(a)-Use Lewis symbol store present there action that occurs between Ca and F atoms. (b)-What is the chemical formula of the most

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

(b) $CaF_2$

(c) Calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond.

(d) Calcium atom loses electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Fluorine is the element of group 17 and second period. The electronic configuration of the element fluorine is - 2, 7 or $1s^22s^22p^5$

There is 1 valence electron of fluorine.

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom is complete.

Thus, calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond. This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete and they become stable.

Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is $CaF_2$ .

<u>(a) The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.</u>

<u>(b) $CaF_2$ </u>

<u>(c) Calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond.</u>

<u>(d) Calcium atom loses electrons.</u>

zzz [600]

Answer:

$6.022x10^{23}atoms \ Al$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the described concept regarding the Avogadro's number, we can easily notice that 27.0 g of aluminium foil has 6.022x10²³ atoms as shown below based on the mass-mole-particles relationship:

$27.0gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27.0gAl} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms \ Al}{1molAl} \\\\=6.022x10^{23}atoms \ Al$

Notice this is backed up by the fact that aluminium molar mass if 27.0 g/mol.

Best regards.
