Calculate %ic of the interatomic bonds for the intermetallic compound al6mn. on the basis of this result, what type of interatom

pashok25 [27]

Answer : % ionic character is 0.20%

Bonding between the two metals will be purely metallic.

Explanation: For the calculation of % ionic character, we use the formula

$\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(X_A-X_B)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)$

where $X_A$ & $X_B$ are the Pauling's electronegativities.

The table attached has the values of electronegativities, by taking the values of Al and Mn from there,

$X_{Al}=1.61$

$X_{Mn}=1.55$

Putting the values in the electronegativity formula, we get

$\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(1.61-1.55)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)$

= 0.20%

Now, there are 3 types of inter atomic bonding

1) Ionic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms

2) Covalent Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond involving the sharing of electron pairs between 2 atoms.

3) Metallic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is an electrostatic force between the positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons.

In $Al_6Mn$ compound, the % ionic character is minimal that is $\sim$ 0.20% and there are two metal ions present, therefore this compound will have metallic bonding.

Chemistry Lab Question: Filtration

tatyana61 [14]

For the first question, salt is soluble while sand is insoluble or not dissolvable in water. The salt should have vanished or melted, but the sand stayed noticeable or visible, making a dark brown solution probably with some sand particles caught on the walls of the container when the boiling water was put in to the mixture of salt and sand. The solubility of a chemical can be disturbed by temperature, and in the case of salt in water, the hot temperature of the boiling water enhanced the salt's capability to melt in it.

For the second question, the melted or dissolved salt should have easily made its way through the filter paper and into the second container, while the undissolved and muddy sand particles is caught on the filter paper. The size of the pores of the filter paper didn’t change. On the contrary, the size of the salt became smaller because it has been dissolved which is also the reason why it was able to go through the filter paper, while the size of the sand may have doubled or even tripled which made it harder to pass through.

Why do oxygen and hydrogen can be kept underwater

Scrat [10]

The reason we cannot breath liquid water is because the oxygen used to make the water is bound to two hydrogen atoms and we cannot breath the resulting liquid

About 3% of the water on Earth is freshwater. Only about 40% of that freshwater is available for human use. Why is so much fresh

OverLord2011 [107]

Because the freshwater is polluted.
