A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.

Write the formula for potassium oxide. why do you not need prefixes in the name ​
Molodets [167]

Potassium oxide: K₂O.

There's no need for prefixes since K₂O is an ionic compound.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Find the two elements on a periodic table:

  • Potassium- K- on the left end of period four.
  • Oxygen- O- near the right end of periodic two.

Elements on the bottom-left corner of the periodic table are metals. Those on the top-right corner are nonmetals.

  • Potassium is a metal,
  • Oxygen is a nonmetal.

A metal and a nonmetal combine to form an ionic compound. Potassium oxide is likely to be an ionic compound. It contains two types of ions:

  • Potassium ions: Potassium is group 1 of the periodic table. It is an alkaline metal. Like other alkaline metals such as sodium Na, potassium K tends to lose one electron and form ions of charge +1 in compounds. The ion would be K⁺.
  • Oxide ions from oxygen: Oxygen is the second most electronegative element on the periodic table. It tends to gain two electrons and form the oxide ion \text{O}^{2-} when it combines with metals.

The two types of ions carry opposite charges. They shall pair up at a certain ratio such that they balance the charge on each other. The charge on each \text{O}^{2-} ion is twice that on a \text{K}^{+} ion. Each \text{K}^{+} would pair up with two \text{O}^{2-}. Hence the subscript in the formula: \text{K}_{\bf 2}\text{O}.

There are two classes of compounds:

  • Covalent compounds, which need prefixes, and
  • Ionic compounds, which need no prefix.

Prefixes are needed only in covalent compounds. For instance in the covalent compound carbon dioxide \text{CO}_2, the prefix di- indicates that there are two oxygen atoms in the formula \text{CO}_2. However, there's no need for prefix in ionic compounds such as \text{K}_2\text{O}.

Gaseous methane reacts with gaseous oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. If 2.59 g of water is produc
max2010maxim [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The percent yield of the water is 31.98 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For methane:</u>

Given mass of methane = 6.58 g

Molar mass of methane = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of methane}=\frac{6.58g}{16g/mol}=0.411mol

  • <u>For oxygen gas:</u>

Given mass of oxygen gas = 14.4 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{14.4g}{32g/mol}=0.45mol

The chemical equation for the combustion of methane is:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 1 mole of methane

So, 0.45 moles of oxygen gas will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.45=0.225mol of methane

As, given amount of methane is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

2 moles of oxygen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 0.45 moles of oxygen gas will produce = \frac{2}{2}\times 0.45=0.45 moles of water

  • Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 0.45 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.45mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(0.45mol\times 18g/mol)=8.1g

  • To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Experimental yield of water = 2.59 g

Theoretical yield of water = 8.1 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{2.59g}{8.1g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=31.98\%

Hence, the percent yield of the water is 31.98 %

PLZ HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

1. It flies because of four forces. These same four forces help an airplane fly. The four forces are lift, thrust, drag, and weight. As a Frisbee flies through the air, lift holds it up

2. lift

In order for an aircraft to rise into the air, a force must be created that equals or exceeds the force of gravity. This force is called lift. In heavier-than-air craft, lift is created by the flow of air over an airfoil. The shape of an airfoil causes air to flow faster on top than on bottom.

3. Gravity and drag (air resistance, which is friction caused by air rubbing against the plane) try to pull the plane down and slow its speed. A plane must be built so that lift and thrust are stronger than the pull of gravity and drag by just the right amount.

4. If lift becomes greater than weight, then the plane will accelerate upward. If the weight is greater than the lift, then the plane will accelerate downward. When the thrust becomes greater than the drag, the plane will accelerate forward.

5.The 4 Forces of Flight. In level flight, lift equals weight and thrust equals drag when the plane flies at constant velocity. Maintaining a steady flight requires a balance, often described as an equilibrium of all the forces acting upon an airplane.

Thank you and please rate me as brainliest as it will help me to level up
