Determine the bond type formed between Hg and F

Chemistry
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]3 years ago
6 0

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 many moles of H20 are required to react completely with 7.30 moles of NO2?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

2.43 moles of water are require.

Explanation:

Number of moles of water required = ?

Number of moles of NO₂ available = 7.30 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3NO₂ + H₂O     →     NO + 2HNO₃

now we will compare the moles of NO₂ with H₂O.

                         NO₂           :            H₂O

                           3              :              1

                        7.30            :           1/3×7.30 = 2.43 mol
