Answer:
The number of electrons in the outermost shell of a particular atom determines its reactivity, or tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons.
Explanation:
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Ionic Bond
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.
If, Electronegativity difference is,
Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent Bonding
Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent Bonding
Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic Bonding
For Mg and Cl,
E.N of Chlorine = 3.16
E.N of Magnesium = 1.31
________
E.N Difference 1.85 (Ionic Bond)
<h3>Conclusion:</h3>
MgCl₂ being ionic in nature when dissolved in water dissociates into Magnesium and Chloride ions respectively.
Answer:
In the reaction, Fe2+ is oxidized and MnO4- is reduced (option c.)
Explanation:
MnO₄⁻ + 5Fe²⁺ + 8H⁺ ---> Mn²⁺ + 5Fe³⁺ + 4H2O
Look all, the oxidation number.
Increase the oxidation number means, oxidation.
Decrease the oxidation number means, reduction.
Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ is increasing, the ox. number. Fe is oxidizing.
In MnO₄⁻, the Mn acts with +7, so in Mn²⁺ has decrease the ox. number.
Mn has reducted.
The intermolecular bonding for HF is van der Waals, whereas for HCL, the intermolecular bonding is hydrogen. Since the van der Waals bond is stronger than hydrogen, HF will have a higher boiling temperature. Since the covalent bond is stronger than van der Waals, HF will have a higher boiling temperature.
