Determine the bond type formed between Hg and F

Chemistry
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

Multivalent Ionic

Explanation:

The type of bond formed between the atoms of two elements can easily be deduced from the magnitude of electronegativity difference between the two bonding atoms.

A summary of electronegativity differences and corresponding types of bonds are shown below as adapted from chemlibretexts, where Δχ is the difference in electronegativity ;

ionic if Δχ ≥ 2.0

polar if 2.0 > Δχ > 0.5

nonpolar if 0.5 > Δχ

To determine the type of bond between Hg and F. Hg has an electronegativity of 2 while F has an electronegativity of 4. the difference in electronegativity (Δχ) is 4 - 2 = 2

This corresponds to a multivalent ionic bond because mercurous ion is the  

Hg2^2+  ion and this leads to the formation of Hg2X2 (mercury I fluoride).

How to find the formula for sodium phosphate?
ludmilkaskok [199]
PO4 anion has a 3- charge.A sodium cation , has a 1+ charge.Now , you have to think how many Na ions you need to fully neutralize the PO4 's 3- charge. Answer 3. That's because a molecule must have a neutral charge (a 0 charge). 3+(-3)=0.So , sodium phosphate has the formula Na3PO4.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Grey precipitate implies the presence of silver ions

Yellow precipitate implies the presence of lead II ions

Explanation:

Qualitative analysis provides us a quick method of identifying ions present in a sample by chemical reactions involving simple reagents. Precipitates having a unique colour is formed. The identity of ions in the sample is deduced from the colour of precipitate obtained when particular reagents are added.

In the question, a precipitate containing silver ions upon standing turn into grey colour. Similarly, lead II ions give a yellow precipitate.
