How would I fill out this chart?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

[Top row] - Chemical bonds

[2nd Row L-R] - Force, Ionic, Covalent

[3rd Row L-R] - Atoms, Lost or Gained, Shared

[4th Row L-R] - More stable, Metal and Nonmetal, Nonmetal and Nonmetal

Explanation:

<u>Chemical bonds</u> are a<u> </u><u>force</u> that hold together <u>atoms</u> in a substance to make compounds <u>more stable.</u>

<u>Chemical bonds</u> include two kinds: <u>Ionic</u> and <u>Covalent.</u>

<u>Ionic</u> in which electrons are <u>lost or gained</u> where attraction is between a <u>Metal and Nonmetal.</u>

<u>Covalent</u> in which electrons are shared where attraction is between a <u>nonmetal and nonmetal</u>.

I have been able to fill the concept map using the correct terms or phrases. The concept map talks about chemical bonds. There are two types of chemical bonds; which ionic bond and covalent bond.

Can you force the atoms into new configurations by pushing atoms around
marta [7]
<span>No, this is not possible. The reason for this impossibility is that the electrons are not attracted to one another, and thus, would repel. If you were to push the atoms into each other, the electrons would then prevent this from happening. Essentially atoms will bounce off of one another due to the repel of charges.</span>

PH3, explain why there is a partial positive on hydrogen and partial negative on phosphorus.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.
