bazaltina [42]3 years ago
3 0

This problem is asking for an explanation of what happens when an ionic bond is formed. Although the choices are not given in the question, one can find them on the attached file and realize the answer is C "a less electronegative atom donates an electron to a more electronegative atom" according to:

<h3>Types of bonds:</h3><h3 />

In chemistry, the forces that hold atoms together are known as chemical bonds and act like connections for atoms to form compounds. There exist ionic and covalent bonds, so the formers occur when electrons are thoroughly donated from the least electronegative atom to the most electronegative one.

On the flip side, covalent bonds occur when the electrons are shared between the two or more of the atoms forming the compound. In such a way, one can discard choices A and B because they are more related to covalent bonds.

Therefore, one can select C "a less electronegative atom donates an electron to a more electronegative atom" as the correct answer, because not all the elements are able to donate more than one single electron, and the less its valency, the more ionic the compound turns out to be.

The maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide that will dissolve in a 0.220 M nickel(II) nitrate solution is...?
sweet [91]

Answer : The maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide is 5.84\times 10^{-12}M

Explanation :

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

                       Ni(CN)_2\rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}+2CN^-

Initial conc.                        0.220       0

At eqm.                             (0.220+s)   2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Ni^{2+}][CN^-]^2

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

3.0\times 10^{-23}=(0.220+s)\times (2s)^2

s=5.84\times 10^{-12}M

Therefore, the maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide is 5.84\times 10^{-12}M

How many molecules of H2O are there in 1.0 g of H2O?
NISA [10]
Molar mass H₂O = 18.0 g/mol

number of moles :

1.0 / 18.0 => 0.055 moles

1 mole -------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
0.055 moles --------  ? molecules

molecules = 0.055 x ( 6.02 x 10²³) / 1

molecules = 3.311x10²² / 1

= 3.311 x 10²² molecules

hope this helps!
