Why does it make sense that stars and planets form before atoms?

Rank the members of each set of compounds according to the ionic character of their bonds. Most ionic bonds?a) PCl3 PBr3 PF3 Mos

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Explanation:

More is the electronegativity difference between the combining atoms more polar is the compound. Hence, more ionic it will be in nature.

(a) Electronegativity value of P = 2.19

Electronegativity value of Cl = 3.16

Electronegativity value of Br = 2.96

Electronegativity value of F = 3.98

Electronegativity difference of a P-Cl bond = 3.16 - 2.19 = 0.97

Electronegativity difference of a P-Br bond = 2.96 - 2.19 = 0.77

Electronegativity difference of a P-F bond = 3.98 - 2.19 = 1.79

Since, a P-F bond has the highest electronegativity difference. Therefore, $PF_{3}$ is the most ionic compound and $PBr_{3}$ is the least ionic compound.

(b) Electronegativity value of B = 2.04

Electronegativity value of N = 3.04

Electronegativity value of C = 2.55

Electronegativity value of F = 3.98

Electronegativity difference of a B-F bond = 3.98 - 2.04 = 1.94

Electronegativity difference of a N-F bond = 3.04 - 3.98 = 0.94

Electronegativity difference of a C-F bond = 3.98 - 2.55 = 1.43

Since, a B-F bond has the highest electronegativity difference. Therefore, $BF_{3}$ is the most ionic compound and $NF_{3}$ is the least ionic compound.

(c) Electronegativity value of Se = 2.55

Electronegativity value of Te = 2.1

Electronegativity value of Br = 2.96

Electronegativity value of F = 3.98

Electronegativity difference of a Se-F bond = 3.98 - 2.55 = 1.43

Electronegativity difference of a Te-F bond = 3.98 - 2.1 = 1.88

Electronegativity difference of a Br-F bond = 3.98 - 2.19 = 1.02

Since, a Te-F bond has the highest electronegativity difference. Therefore, $TeF_{4}$ is the most ionic compound and $BrF_{3}$ is the least ionic compound.

What is the hybridization of the central atom in each of the following? 1. Beryllium chloride 2. Nitrogen dioxide 3. Carbon tetr

Lina20 [59]

Answer :

(1) The hybridization of central atom beryllium in $BeCl_2$ is, $sp$

(2) The hybridization of central atom nitrogen in $NO_2$ is, $sp^2$

(3) The hybridization of central atom carbon in $CCl_4$ is, $sp^3$

(4) The hybridization of central atom xenon in $XeF_4$ is, $sp^3d^2$

Explanation :

Formula used :

$\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

Now we have to determine the hybridization of the following molecules.

(1) The given molecule is, $BeCl_2$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [2+2]=2$

The number of electron pair are 2 that means the hybridization will be $sp$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.

(2) The given molecule is, $NO_2$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4]=2$

If the sum of the number of sigma bonds, lone pair of electrons and odd electrons present is equal to three then the hybridization will be, $sp^2$ .

In nitrogen dioxide, there are two sigma bonds and one lone electron pair. So, the hybridization will be, $sp^2$ .

(3) The given molecule is, $CCl_4$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4+4]=4$

The number of electron pair are 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

(4) The given molecule is, $XeF_4$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [8+4]=6$

Bond pair electrons = 4

Lone pair electrons = 6 - 4 = 2

The number of electrons are 6 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3d^2$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be octahedral.

But as there are four atoms around the central xenon atom, the fifth and sixth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be square planar.

How many total moles of reactants and how many total moles of products are in the reaction 2NO, (g) +

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

moles reactant = 2, moles of products = 3

Explanation:

The reactants are on the left side of the equation. Although, energy (heat) is a reactant it will not factor into the calculation for moles. The coefficient is the number of moles for each substances. So for the reactant side NO would have 2 moles because the coefficient is 2. Using the same logic, NO on the product side will have 2 moles and O2 will be 1 mole. O2 has one mole because it is implied that you know anything multipled by one is the same number. So 1 mole of O2 is written as O2 and not 1 O2.

Hope this helps,
