Solid
Astatine should have a melting point of about 300°C and a boiling point of about 340°C. This means that it will be solid at room temperature.

Answer:

Solid

Explanation:

Astatine should have a melting point of about 300°C and a boiling point of about 340°C. This means that it will be solid at room temperature as room temperature is 20°C

An element with an electronegativity of 0.9 bonds with an element with an electronegativity of 3.1.. Which phase best describes

eduard

Electronegativity is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself. When a chlorine atom covalently bonds to another chlorine atom, the shared electron pair is shared equally. The electron density that comprises the covalent bond is located halfway between the two atoms.

But what happens when the two atoms involved in a bond aren’t the same? The two positively charged nuclei have different attractive forces; they “pull” on the electron pair to different degrees. The end result is that the electron pair is shifted toward one atom.

ATTRACTING ELECTRONS: ELECTRONEGATIVITIES

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The following figure shows the electronegativity values of the various elements below each element symbol on the periodic table. With a few exceptions, the electronegativities increase, from left to right, in a period, and decrease, from top to bottom, in a family.

Electronegativities give information about what will happen to the bonding pair of electrons when two atoms bond. A bond in which the electron pair is equally shared is called a nonpolar covalent bond. You have a nonpolar covalent bond anytime the two atoms involved in the bond are the same or anytime the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved in the bond is very small.

Now consider hydrogen chloride (HCl). Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.

A bond in which the electron pair is shifted toward one atom is called a polar covalent bond. The atom that more strongly attracts the bonding electron pair is slightly more negative, while the other atom is slightly more positive. The larger the difference in the electronegativities, the more negative and positive the atoms become.

Now look at a case in which the two atoms have extremely different electronegativities — sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium chloride is ionically bonded. An electron has transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium has an electronegativity of 1.0, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0.

That’s an electronegativity difference of 2.0 (3.0 – 1.0), making the bond between the two atoms very, very polar. In fact, the electronegativity difference provides another way of predicting the kind of bond that will form between two elements, as indicated in the following table.

Determine whether you can swim in 1.00 x 10^27 molecules of water.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

We can not swim in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules of water

Explanation:

The given number of molecules of water = 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules

The Avogadro's number, $N_A$ , gives the number of molecules in one mole of a substance

$N_A$ ≈ 6.0221409 × 10²³ molecules/mol

Therefore

Therefore, we have;

The number of moles of water present in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules, n = (The number of molecules of water) ÷ $N_A$

∴ n = (1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules)/(6.0221409 × 10²³ molecules/mol) = 1,660.53902857 moles

The mass of one mole of water = The molar mass of water = 18.01528 g/mol

The mass, 'm', of water in 1,660.53902857 moles of water is given as follows;

Mass = (The number of moles of the substance) × (The molar mass of the substance)

∴ The mass of the water in the given quantity of water, m = 1,660.53902857 moles × 18.01528 g/mol ≈ 29.9150756 kg.

The density pf water, ρ = 997 kg/m³

Volume = Mass/Density

∴ The volume of the water present in the given quantity of water, v = 29.9150756 kg/(997 kg/m³) ≈ 30.0050909 liters

The volume of the water present in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules of water ≈ 30.0 liters

The average volume of a human body = 62 liters

Therefore, we can not swim in the given quantity of 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules = 30.0 liters water

I am in desperate need of help will give 40 points to whoever helps me!!!!! I have a quiz tomorrow but I have no idea how to do

serious [3.7K]

All of the questions here are pertaining to the colligative properties of a solution and the preparation of solutions. Maybe, it would be best if you understand the equations to be used in order to answer these questions.
Freezing point depression or Boiling point elevation:

ΔT = -K (m) (i)

ΔT is the change in the freezing point or the boiling point not the freezing point/boiling point. Therefore, it should be added to the original value of the property of the solvent.

K is a constant called the molal freezing point depression constant and for the boiling point is the boiling point elevation constant. It is a property of the solvent.

m is the concentration of the solute in the solvent in terms of molality or kg solute/kg solvent.

i is the vant hoff factor which will represent the number of ions which the solute dissociates when in solution.

Provide an example of a Food Chain.

VikaD [51]

Answer: Diamond is the name ^-^

A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected. eg: A hawk might also eat a mouse, a squirrel, a frog or some other animal.

Hope this helps ^_^
