Explanation:

Quantum mechanics stipulates that for each energy level, the p sub shell contains 3 orbitals, px, py, and pz. These orbitals are oriented in alignment with x, y, and axis.

Answer: 1. C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B) $NH_3$

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: $NH_3$

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: $Mg_3N_2$ , $AlCl_3$ and $LiBr$

3. For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas $F_2$

How are acids and ionic compounds similar?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: Ionic compounds are held together by the virtue of their opposing charges. Na+Cl- for example. If we consider Hg+(2Cl-)2, a mercuric chloride, the solubility is much less. Ba++(SO)4 Barium Sulphate, is highly insoluble; all differ by the relative attractiveness by Differing opposing charge(s).

Acids are very similar, consider Formic Acid, HCOOH, the simplest of the Carboxylic Acids. It dissociates more than say Benzoic Acid, C6H5-COOH. But neither disassociate as fully as Nitric Acid HNO3.

So the relative disassociation of the H+ (proton), or H3O+, (Hydronium ion), from any of these in water vary for a number of reasons we need not consider now.

Here is a “Tricky One!” (And very nasty). Take HF liquid or gas. This is one of the strongest acids on Earth - AS A LIQUID compound OR GAS. It will dissociate essentially near completion! Eat the floor, and is very dangerous.

NOW - HF (aqueous). The HF is in water. Very like HCl? NO! Why you may ask...The Electrophilic nature of Fluorine, “bathed in water, with an H+ all its own”, doesn’t let it go as easily!

HF is HIGHLY ordered in water, you can almost imagine a sort of “Hydrated matrix”, little HFs in endless rows...

BUT BE WARNED - even the aqueous HF is so reactive it will dissolve bone!

(I was told it was extremely painful; and did not appear to heal for weeks!)

Explanation: so, both types of compounds have a similarity, held together by the strength of their opposing charges or the degree of dissociation, (using water for simplicity).

That should do it.

Hno3, a strong acid, is added to shift the ag2co3 equilibrium (equation 7.6) to the right. explain why the shift occurs.

Deffense [45]

Answer 1) When a strong acid like $HNO_{3}$ reacts with $Ag_{2} CO_{3}$ usually the equilibrium shifts to the right because

As per the Le chatelier's principle "if in any reaction, a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the any of the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change." So, in the given reaction when $HNO_{3}$ reacts with $Ag_{2} CO_{3}$ it generates carbon dioxide and water as a by product, if we are adding $HNO_{3}$ it will remove some of the $CO_{3}$ molecule from the reaction mixture, which then tends to shift the equilibrium towards right.

Answer 2) The same would be observed in this case, if we replace $HNO_{3}$ with HCl it will shift the equilibrium to the right as their will be generation of AgCl as the precipitate.

As per the definition of Le Chatelier's principle if we add reactants in the reaction the equilibrium will tend to move towards right, also if we replace the products or remove it then too it will shift the equilibrium towards right. So, in this reaction you are removing $Ag^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ions from the solution.

If the heating curve is reversed, what describes the boiling point?

GalinKa [24]

Boiling is the process of converting a substance from liquid state to gaseous state. If the heating curve is reversed, the process also is reversed from converting gaseous state to liquid state. In this case, the reverse of boiling is condensation. So the answer is point of condensation.
