Answer:

If a covalent bond is polar the electronegativity difference between the elements of the compound is between 0.4 and 1.7

Explanation:

The electronegativity measures the power of an atom to attract electrons; if the electronegativity difference between the elements of the compound is big (more than 1.7) the compound will be ionic, that means, an atom or a group of atoms will give electrons and another atom of group of atoms will receive them; if the electronegativity difference is small (less than 0.4), the electrons will be shared by the atoms in a equitative way, i. e. the electrons will spend similar amount of time in the orbitals of each atom; but if the electronegativity difference is between 0.4 and 1.7  a covalent polar bond will be formed, that means valence electrons will spend more time in the orbitals of the most electronegative element.

N a polar covalent bond<span>, the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average, closer to the Oxygen nucleus than the Hydrogen nucleus. This is because of the geometry of the molecule and the great electronegativity difference between the Hydrogen atom and the Oxygen atom.</span>

Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?
Lana71 [14]

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).

The reaction H+ + HCO3â€"" &lt;--&gt; H2CO3 is a part of the respiration process. It takes place at _____ . A. the lungs and tis
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The tissue cells

Explanation:

I think you mean this

H^{+}+HCO^{3} ^{-}  H_{2}CO_{3}

It all starts from Carbondioxide. This Carbondioxide is dissolved in the blood and taken by red blood cell and converted into carbonic acid. It then dissociates to form a bicarbonate ion HCO^{3} ^{-} and a hydrogen ion H^{+}

This <--> means that the whole process is reversible. It is a buffer system to maintain the pH in the blood and duodenum. And also to support proper metabolic function.

when a calcium atom loses its valence electrona the ion formed has an electron configuration that is the same as an atom of. (1)
andrew-mc [135]
(2) argon. This is because Ca originally has 20 total electrons with a configuration of 2,8,8,2. When it looses its valence electrons it remains with 18 electrons total (2,8,8 config). Argon has 18 electrons total too (2,8,8 config).

If it takes three "breaths" to blow up a balloon to 1.2 l, and each breath supplies the balloon with 0.060 moles of exhaled air,
vesna_86 [32]
<span>It takes 3 breaths to get to 1.2 l. One breath is then (1.2 l) / 3 breaths = .4l/breath. To get to 3.0 l we need the difference from 1.2 l. 3.0-1.2 = 1.8 l. Divide the difference by liters/breath (.4) to get how many needed breaths. (1.8 l)/(.4 l/breath) = 4.5 breaths to get the balloon to 3.0 l. In total there were 3 breaths+ 4.5 breaths = 7.5breaths to get to 3.0 l. To find the total moles multiply 7.5breaths by .060 moles/breath 7.5 breaths*.060moles/breath = .45moles</span>
