Answer:

chemical bonds

Explanation:

The atoms in chemical compounds are held together by attractive electrostatic interactions known as chemical bonds. Ionic compounds contain positively and negatively charged ions in a ratio that results in an overall charge of zero. The ions are held together in a regular spatial arrangement by electrostatic forces.

How can a hydrogen atom, which has only one electron, have so many spectral lines?

kow [346]

Answer:

The hydrogen atom has just one electron, but many spectral lines. However it contains many shells and the movement of that electron from one shell to another causes the release of energy and also an emission of photons.

A spectral line are dark or bright lines formed within a specific frequency range which differ from other frequencies.Because of the difference of energy for the various shells, it produces different wavelengths and this is the reason for the many spectral line for hydrogen.

Use the bond energies to answer the question.

Schach [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello!

This is a topic I just learned this year so I might not help the best as of explaining. But I will try my best.

To solve this problem, we must first figure the balanced equation.

H₂+O₂=H₂O₂

Now, we have to find the bond energy of the reactants and products. This is how.

Let's find the reactant first.

For the compound H₂, the Lewis dot structure says that it only consists of one singular bond. So the bond energy of H₂ would be 432.

For the compound O₂, the Lewis dot structure that is the best out of the resonance structures form a double bond. Let's use the bond energy 495 for this since there are double bonds and we need the corresponding double bond energy to make the bond energy accurate.

Let's add this amount together. 927

Now, we have to find the bond energy of the products.

H₂O₂ sounds complicated but it's fairly easy. When you write the Lewis dot structure for this specific compound, you will get something along the lines of this:

H-O-O-H (disregarding lone pairs)

In this compound, there are two bonds of H-O and one bond that is a O-O. This might take you a long time to see this, but just think of what atom is touching the atom next door. This might help distinguish the bonds there are between the compound.

Let's take the bond energy of H-O (467) and multiply this by two since we have two. Add that number to the bond energy of O-O (146). We should have the numbers 1080.

Since the problem is asking for the difference in total energy between the reactants and products, let's subtract the total bond energy of the products-reactants.

1080-927=153

Therefore, your final answer of the total bond energy is 153.

For each of the bonds listed, tell which atom is more negatively charged a. C--H b. C--N c. C--S d. C--O

blondinia [14]

Explanation:

The atom is considered to be more electronegative , when it has the tendency to get a slight negative i.e. , delta negative charge on it , and the other atom gets a delta positive charge .

In the periodic table ,

As we go left to right in the periodic table , the electronegativity increases ,

and

As we go top to bottom , the electronegativity decreases .

Hence , from the option given in the question ,

a. C--H , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , Carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen .

b. C--N , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , nitrogen is more electronegative than Carbon .

c. C--S , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , sulfur is more electronegative than Carbon .

d. C--O , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , oxygen is more electronegative than Carbon .
