Answer:
Electronegativity increases across the period on a periodic table.
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electron to itself.
All elements on the periodic table combines in order to have a complete octet i.e they all want to be like the noble gases, group 0 elements.
This is what drives most atom to combine chemically. By so doing, they either lose or gain electrons.
Cl belongs to the 7th group on the periodic table. It is the second element in this halogen group. Most halogens are notable for their high electronegativity. They have 7 electrons in their outermost shell and would require just an electron to complete their octet.
This makes them highly reactive and combine readily with other elements.
The halogens have a strong attraction for valence electrons. The higher the electronegativity value, the stronger the attraction an atom has for valence electrons.
Most metals like Al and Na are electropositive and readily donates or lose electrons so as to have a complete octet.
Answer:
Diphosphorus pentoxide
Carbon dichloride
BCl3
N2H4
Explanation:
These are all covalent compounds. To name covalent compounds, you add prefixes to the beginning of their names depending on what the subscript is of each element. The prefixes are:
1: Mono
2: Di
3: Tri
4: Tetra
5: Penta
6: Hexa
7: Hepta
8: Octa
9: Nona
10: Deca
For example, since the first one is Phopsphorus with a 2 next to it, you add the prefix Di to it.
If the first element in the compound only has one, meaning no number next to it, you do not say mono. This is why we just say "Carbon" for the second one instead of "Monocarbon."
Finally, you always have to end the second element in the compound with "ide." So, "chlorine" becomes "chloride," "oxygen" becomes "oxide," and so on.
Answer:
tetrahedral
Explanation:
it sounds like a tetrahedral shape, which is when there are four bonds and no lone pairs around the central atom in the molecule.
The energy produced by burning : -32.92 kJ
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Delta H reaction (ΔH) is the amount of heat change between the system and its environment
(ΔH) can be positive (endothermic = requires heat) or negative (exothermic = releasing heat)
The enthalpy and heat(energy) can be formulated :
The enthalpy of combustion of naphthalene (MW = 128.17 g/mol) is -5139.6 kJ/mol.
The energy released for 0.8210 g of naphthalene :
