When an atom or molecule loses an electron it is oxidized and the reaction is called oxidation, when an atom or molecule gains an electron it is reduced and this is known as reduction. Both oxidation and reduction are known as Redox reaction

c) A substance has a high melting point and conducts electricity. What type of structure does it have
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Metallic structure

Explanation:

They have a high melting point due to the strong forces of attraction between the positive ions (cations) and the delocalised electrons. Moreover, they conduct electricity due to the sea of delocalised electrons.

<em>[Extra: It could be an ionic compound since they also have a high melting point, however they only conduct electricity in liquid or aqeouus state.]</em>

Determine the LIMITING reactant in the following balanced equation:
padilas [110]

Answer:

KBr is limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of  KBr =4g

Mass of Cl₂ = 6 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2KBr + Cl₂      →    2KCl + Br₂

Number of moles of KBr:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4 g/ 119 gmol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Number of moles of Cl₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6 g/ 70 gmol

Number of moles = 0.09 mol

Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

              KBr            :            KCl

                2              :              2

            0.03            :            0.03

             KBr            :              Br₂

                2             :               1

             0.03           :          1/2×0.03= 0.015

               Cl₂             :            KCl

                 1              :              2

            0.09            :           2/1×0.09 = 0.18

               Cl₂             :              Br₂

                1              :               1

             0.09           :            0.09

Less number of moles of product are formed by the KBr thus it will act as limiting reactant while Cl₂  is present in excess.

Define bond energy using the H¬Cl bond as an example. When this bond breaks, is energy absorbed or released? Is the accompanying
Rainbow [258]

In HCl-HCl, the hydrogen-chlorine link is a polar covalent bond. It is produced when two atoms share an electron pair.

When atoms with various electronegativities share electrons in a covalent link, the result is a polar covalent bond. Think about the molecule of hydrogen chloride (HCl). In order to generate an inert gas electron configuration, each atom of HCl needs an additional electron. Despite having a stronger electronegativity than hydrogen, the chlorine atom cannot remove an electron from hydrogen due to its inability to attract electrons. As a result, a polar covalent bond in hydrogen chloride has an unbalanced distribution of bonding electrons.
