The arrow shows that the bond between the chlorine atom and the fluorine atom is nonpolar. The electrons in the bond are pulled more strongly by the fluorine atom, and the chlorine atom is slightly positive.

Explanation:

The bond between Chlorine and fluorine is nonpolar bonding because both of them are sharing an equal number of electrons in the bond. H2, F2, and CL2 are common examples of this.

Chlorine and fluorine are electronegative molecules but Fluorine is above chlorine in the periodic table. Since fluorine is above Chlorine, fluorine has slightly highest electronegative nature compare to fluorine. This is the reason why Fluorine molecules are attracting electrons more than chlorine atoms. This making chlorine atoms slightly positive in Cl and F bonding.

Answer:

The arrow shows that the bond between the chlorine atom and the fluorine atom is polar. The electrons in the bond are pulled more strongly by the fluorine atom, and the chlorine atom is slightly positive.

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl.

The covalent bond between two atoms can be polar or nonpolar. This depends on the type of atoms that make it up: if the atoms are equal, the bond will be nonpolar (since no atom attracts electrons more strongly). But, if the atoms are different, the bond will be polarized towards the most electronegative atom, because it will be the atom that attracts the electron pair with more force. Then it will be polar.

So in this case, being two non-metallic elements, it is a covalent bond, and, following the definition previously presented, it is a polar bond, indicated by the arrow shown in the image.

The arrow also indicates that the atoms shared between both elements are more strongly attracted by F, due to the fact that it has a higher electronegativity. And since the electrons are negatively charged, fluorine will have a slightly negative charge, while chlorine will have a slightly positive charge.

So, finally, the arrow shows that the bond between the chlorine atom and the fluorine atom is polar. The electrons in the bond are pulled more strongly by the fluorine atom, and the chlorine atom is slightly positive.

draw the lewis structure for CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3 2-.Rank these in order of increasing attraction to water molecules. Expl

Answer:

The structures are attached in file.

Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.

Explanation:

In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding. Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.

In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:

$CO_{3}^{2-} > HCO_{3} ^{2-} > H_{2} CO_{3}$

This is due to the fact that the $CO_{3}^{2-}$ will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, $HCO_{3} ^{2-}$ . Carbonic acid, $H_{2} CO_{3}$ will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.

A biology student wants to conduct a study of how the amount of food affects weight gain for mice. He sets up four cages with a

drek231 [11]

The independent variable would be the variable in the research that is being manipulated by the researcher. In this case, it would be amount of food as it is what is being manipulated and changed in the research design. The dependent variable would be the variable that is being studied so, for this case, it would be the weight gain of the mice. The constants are the factors that might affect the dependent variable but is held constant or the same by the researcher throughout the experiment. These are the size of cage, amount of water, amount of sunlight, temperature and the exercise wheel.

A particular first-order reaction has a rate constant of 1.35 × 102 s-1 at 25.0°c. what is the magnitude of k at 75.0°c if ea =

IgorC [24]

According to this formula:
K= A*(e^(-Ea/RT) when we have K =1.35X10^2 & T= 25+273= 298K &R=0.0821
Ea= 85.6 KJ/mol So by subsitution we can get A:
1.35x10^2 = A*(e^(-85.6/0.0821*298))
1.35x10^2 = A * 0.03
A= 4333
by substitution with the new value of T(75+273) = 348K & A to get the new K
∴K= 4333*(e^(-85.6/0.0821*348)
= 2.16 x10^2
