What causes atoms to share electrons equally with atoms, but unequally share with others?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Atoms only share electrons in covalent bonds. covalent bonds are only formed between nonmetals. there are two different types of covalent bonds; polar and nonpolar. in a polar covalent bonds electrons are shared unequally because one atom has a stronger force of attraction than the other (EX. H2O). In a nonpolar covalent bond, the electrons are shared equally because they're electronegativity is also equal (EX. Cl2).

Overall, the atoms electronegativity determines the way it shares electrons

Find the force of gravity of 1000 kg car.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The force of gravity acting on the car is <u>9800 N vertically downward.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car given is 1000 kg.

We know that the force of gravity is the force applied by the center of Earth on any body. The force of gravity is also called the weight of the body and always act towards the center of the Earth.

From Newton's second law, we know that the force acting on a body is equal to its mass and acceleration.

Here, the acceleration acting on the car is due to gravity and thus has a constant value of 9.8 m/s² on the surface of Earth.

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the car is given using the Newton's second law as:

Force of gravity = Mass of car \times Acceleration due to gravity.

Force of gravity = (1000 kg) \times (9.8 m/s²)

Force of gravity = 9800 N          [1 kg.m/s² = 1 N]

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the car is 9800 N vertically downward.

23. Using the periodic table, what is the oxidation number of:
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a. +2

b. +3

c. -1

Explanation:

The typical oxidation states can be determined from the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons an atom has.

a. Calcium belongs to group 2A, meaning it has 2 valence electrons and, therefore, would have an oxidation state of +2 in compounds.

b. Aluminum is in group 3A, meaning it has 3 valence electrons and would have an oxidation state of +3 in compounds when the 3 electrons are lost.

c. Fluorine would become fluorine if it gained 1 additional electron to achieve an octet, so its oxidation state would be -1.

Wskaż substancję, która ma największą zawartość procentową węgla w cząsteczce:
MrRa [10]

Answer: C2H4

Explanation:

The percentage composition of ethanol ( C2H5OH ) consist of 52.2% Carbon, Hydrogen of 13.0 and 34.8% of Oxygen.

The percentage composition of ethane gas (C2H6) consist of 80.0% carbon and 20.0% hydrogen.

The composition of Ethylene Glycols i.e C2H4(OH)2 is Carbon of 39.7%, 9.7% hydrogen and 51.6% oxygen.

The percent composition of c2h4 is 86% carbon, and 14% hydrogen.

From the information given, the substance with the highest percentage of carbon is C2H4

What purpose does ammonia lauryl sulfate serve as a surfactor
Alborosie

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonium lauryl sulfate has the structural formula CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OSO₂O⁻ NH₄⁺.

The long nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and the ionic sulfate end group make it a surfactant.  

The ionic end tends to dissolve in water, but the nonpolar chain does not. This makes the compound an excellent <em>foaming agent,</em> so it is used in many shampoos and toothpastes.

The molecules form <em>micelles</em> in water, small spherical shapes with the polar heads outside, facing the water, and the nonpolar tails are inside.

They reduce the surface tension or the water so that, when you brush your teeth or shampoo your hair, the air bubbles are stable and do not break.

WILL GIVE BRANLIEST TO FIRST ANSWER!!! I know the correct answer is either a or d. Can anyone explain which one it is and why? C
oee [108]

Answer: The IUPAC name of CH_3C\equiv CCH_2CH_2Cl is 5-chloro-2-pentyne

Explanation:

1. First select the longest possible carbon chain.  For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.

2. The longest possible carbon chain should contain all the bonds and functional groups.

3. The numbering is done in such a way that the carbon containing the functional group or substituent gets the lowest number. Triple bond is given priority over substituent halogen.

4. The naming of alkane is done by adding the suffix -ane, alkene by adding the suffix -ene, alkyne.

Thus the IUPAC name of CH_3C\equiv CCH_2CH_2Cl is 5-chloro-2-pentyne
