B ............ is the answer,
Answer:
the difference in electronegativity is so large (2.04) that the bonding electrons spend almost all their time on the nitrogen atom.
Explanation:
Because calcium loses 2 electrons to become Ca2+, and nitrogen gains 3 electrons to become N3−, you need two calcium atoms and three nitrogen atoms in order to form a neutral compound.
Answer: Handwashing. It is estimated that washing hands with soap and water could reduce diarrheal disease-associated deaths by up to 50% 1. Researchers in London estimate that if everyone routinely washed their hands, a million deaths a year could be prevented 2.
Explanation:
Answer:
The answer is
<h2>219.5 mL</h2>
Explanation:
The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula
From the question
mass = 4500 g
density = 20.5 g/cm³
We have
We have the final answer as
<h3>219.51 mL</h3>
Hope this helps you
Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.
Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.
Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond.
