• Explain why each of the following pairs is not likely to form an ionic bond.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A)Chlorine and Bromine:

They are both non metal hence they form a covalent bond due to covalent bonding.

B)Potassium and Helium:

Helium ion has a small cationic radius and distorted by the potassium ion due to polarization.

C)Sodium and Lithium:

Both are metals hence they form a metallic bond since they share electrons to the electron cloud.

Why is the answer C for this problem?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{(C) X}$_{3}$P$_{2}}

Explanation:

Step 1. Identify the Group that contains X

We look at the consecutive ionization energies and hunt for a big jump between them

\begin{array}{crc}n & IE_{n} & IE_{n} - IE_{n-1}\\1 & 730 & \\2 & 1450 & 720\\3 & 7700 & 6250\\4 & 10500 & 2800\\\end{array}

We see a big jump between n = 2 and n = 3. This indicates that X has two valence electrons.

We can easily remove two electrons, but the third electron requires much more energy. That electron must be in the stable, filled, inner core.

So, X is in Group 2 and P is in Group 15.

Step 2. Identify the Compound

X can lose two valence electrons to reach a stable octet, and P can do the same by gaining three electrons.

We must have 3 X atoms for every 2 P atoms.

The formula of the compound is \boxed{\text{X}$_{3}$P$_{2}}$}.

What is the rate of acceleration of a 2,000-kilogram truck if a force of 4,200n is used to make it start moving forward?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:      a = 2.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

Acceleration : ?

Mass = 2000 kg

Force = 4200 N

Formula

Newton's second law of motion    F = ma

                                                        a = F / m

Substitution

                                     a = 4200 N / 2000 kg

                                      a = 2.1 m/s²

what is the average atomic mass of 125 atoms of uranium if there are 10 atomd of U-234, 75 atoms of U-235, and 40 atoms of U-238
zimovet [89]

Answer is: the average atomic mass of 125 atoms of uranium is 235.88.

ω(U-234) = 10 ÷ 125.

ω(U-234) = 0.080.

ω(U-235) = 75 ÷ 125.

ω(U-235) = 0.60.

ω(U-238) = 40 ÷ 125.

ω(U-238) = 0.320.

Average atomic mass of atoms of uranium =

Ar(U-234) · ω(U-234) + Ar(U-235) · ω(U-235) + Ar(U-238) · ω(U-238).

Average atomic mass of atoms of uranium =

234 · 0.08 + 235 · 0.6 + 238 · 0.32.

Average atomic mass of atoms of uranium = 18.72 + 141 + 76.16.

Average atomic mass of atoms of uranium = 235.88.

Why does water have the highest intermolecular forces
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Water has polar O-H bonds. The negative O atoms attract the positive H atoms in nearby molecules, leading to the unusually strong type of dipole-dipole force called a hydrogen bond.

Ganezh [65]

Answer: The shape of an orbital describes a surface that encompasses about 90% of the probability of finding an electron around a nucleus.

Explanation:

An orbital is described as a region in Space around which there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Orbitals possess various shapes. The shape of an orbital describes the region around the nucleus within which an electron in a given energy level may be found with a greater probability.
