water and ammonia are polar. The hydrogen atoms in each have a slight positive charge. What does that tell you about the oxygen

atom in water and the nitrogen atom in ammonia?

Answer:

More electronegative

Explanation:

The oxygen and nitrogen in ammonia shows that they are more electronegative than the hydrogen  atoms.

  • Electronegativity shows the affinity of an atom for valence electrons.
  • Electronegativity is the measure of the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

The oxygen atom in water and the nitrogen atom in ammonia are more electronegative.

They attract the electrons more and they then become negatively charged.

The hydrogen will then become positively charged in the shared covalency.

Draw the lewis structure of ch3nc; fill in any nonbonding electrons. Calculate the formal charge on each atom other than hydroge
jenyasd209 [6]

A visual representation of covalent bonding which represents the valence shell electrons in the molecule is said to be a Lewis structure. The lines represents the shared electron pairs and dots represents the electrons that are not involved in the bonding i.e lone pairs.

Number of valence electrons in each atom:

For Carbon, C = 4

For Hydrogen, H = 1

For Nitrogen, N = 5

The Lewis structure of CH_3NC is shown in the attached image.

The formula of calculating formula charge = FC = VE - NE- \frac{BE}{2}   -(1)

where, F.C is formal charge, V.E is number of valence electrons, N.E is number of non-bonding electrons and B.E is number of bonding electrons.

Now, calculating the formal charge:

For C on left side:

FC = 4 - 0- \frac{8}{2} = 0

For N:

FC = 5 - 0- \frac{8}{2} = +1

For C on right side:

FC = 4 - 2- \frac{6}{2} = -1

The formula charge of each atom other than hydrogen is shown in the attached image.

What type of elements generally bond covalently, and how do they satisfy the octet rule?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Covalent, or, elements on the right side of the ladder (on the periodic table). Covalent compounds satisfy the octet rule by sharing electrons.

Heat is being removed from a substance, but its temperature does not change. What is
ololo11 [35]
So its temperature will not rise, since kinetic energy of molecules remains the same. The quantity of heat absorbed or released when a substance changes its physical phase at constant temperature (e g. From solid to liquid at melting point or from liquid to gas at boiling point) is termed as its latent heat.

Explain how the immune system responds to pathegons
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The immune system responds to antigens by producing cells that directly attack the pathogen, or by producing special proteins called antibodies. Antibodies attach to an antigen and attract cells that will engulf and destroy the pathogen. The main cells of the immune system are lymphocytes known as B cells and T cells.
