Chemistry

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.

Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O

A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag

                    1   Cu  1

                    2   Ag  2

                     2   N  1

                     3  O   3

The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation

B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2

                     1  C  1

                     4  Cl  4

                     2  O  2

The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.

C)  2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2

                        2  K   2

                        1   H   4

                        1   S    1

                        4  O   4

The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2

              4  Al  2

              6  O  6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

1. A chemical bond between metals and nonmetals; valence electrons are transferred ____.
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

1. Ionic bonding

2. Covalent bonding

3. Metallic bonding

Explanation:

Ionic bonding also referred to as electrovalent bonding is a kind of chemical bonding that involves the transfer of electrons between the valence shells of two elements with a large electronegativity difference usually a metal and a nonmetal.

For example an ionic bonding scenario might play out between a group one metal and a group seven halogen. While group one metals have one electron hindering their stability, group seven halogens need that one electron that could make them achieve this stability. It is this that causes them to come together in a way where the electron is transferred completely from the valence shell of the group 1 atom and accepted into the valence shell of the group 7 halogen.

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of comparable electronegativities. The electro negativity difference is not large enough to permit the total movement of the electrons and hence the electrons are then controlled by the nuclei of the two atoms

Between two metals, what we have is called the metallic bonding

When sugar crystals dissolve in water the level of water does not rise appreciably why?
Vlad [161]
Water molecules have space in between them. They are not packed tightly in liquid form. So the dissolved sugar molecules fill the intermolecular space in between the water molecules. This is why you cannot really see a rise in water level.
