Answer:
Oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur
Explanation:
Bond angle of a molecule is related to the electronegativity of the central atom. The more electronegative the central atom is, the greater the bond angle.
As electronegativity of the central atom increases, the magnitude of bond pair- bond pair repulsion increases leading to increase in bond angle.
Hence, oxygen, being more electronegative than sulphur asserts a greater bond pair- bond pair repulsion leading to a greater bond angle in water.
Answer:
NaCl has a smaller lattice energy compared to CaO
Explanation:
We have remember that lattice energy increases as the size of the ions in the ionic solid decreases. According to Oxford dictionary; lattice energy is "a measure of the energy contained in the crystal lattice of a compound, equal to the energy that would be released if the component ions were brought together from infinity."
We know that the larger the magnitude of charge on a cation the smaller in size the cation is and the size of anions increase from left to right in the periodic table. Hence Ca^2+<Na^+ and O^2- < Cl^-. Therefore the lattice energy of CaO is greater than that of NaCl.
Hydrogen is grouped with the alkali metals because they are grouped based on their properties and behavior, and like the other elements in Group 1 (1A), it only has one valence.
Answer:
has boiling point of 238 K
Explanation:
Boiling point depends on different intermolecular force such as molecular wight, dipole-dipole attraction force, hydrogen bonding, ionic attraction force.
Homonuclear diatomic molecules are covalent non-polar molecules and thereby free from dipole-dipole attraction force, hydrogen bonding and ionic interaction forces.
Hence, boiling point of homonuclear diatomic molecules depends solely on molecular weight.
We know, higher the molecular weight of a molecule, higher will be its boiling point. This phenomenon can be realized in terms of increasing london dispersion force with increase in molecular weight.
