Answer: C.

ability of an atom to attract an electron from another atom toward itself.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the chemical property that describes the ability of an atom to attract electron to itself. It is responsible for bond formation between atoms.

Answer:

c. Ability of an atom to attract an electron from another atom towards itself

Explanation:

Electronegativity is one of the important characteristics of elements which is a measure of the ability of the element to attract the shared pair of electrons in a bond towards itself. In simple words, suppose two elements A and B are bonded to each other by sharing their electrons. If the shared electrons in the bond are lying more near to the A then element A is said to be more electronegative than that of B and the ability with which the element A is attracting the electrons towards itself is called Electronegativity.

Which diatomic molecule is formed when the two atoms share six electrons
Leviafan [203]

The diatomic molecule that is formed when two atoms share six electrons is N2.

The atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic configuration is 2,5. This implies that, nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outermost shell. To attain the octet structure, it needs 3 electrons more. To form a diatomic molecule, two nitrogen atoms come together and each donate three electrons, which are equally shared between the two, thus, each ends up having 8 electrons in its outermost shell.

Write a half-reaction for the oxidation of the manganese in MnCO3(s) to MnO2(s) in neutral groundwater where the carbonate-conta
Leokris [45]

Answer:MnCO3+2H2O----->MnO2+ HCO3-+2e-+3H+

Explanation:The equation to be balanced is

MnCO3 ------> MnO2+HCO3-

The oxidation number of Mn changes from +2 in MnCO3 to +4 in MnO2

Therefore two electrons must be added to the right as shown below:

MnCO3 -------> MnO2+ HCO3-+ 2e-Now,there is one negative charge HCO3- and 1 negative charge on the two electrons making a total of -3 charges on the right. There is zero charge on the left.

To balance the equation,add3H+on the right,to cancel out the charges.

MnCO3 --------> MnO2+HCO3-+2e-+3H+

Adding H2O to balance Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms:

MnCO3+2H2O ------->MnO2+HCO3-+2e-+3H+

PLEASE HELP!!! The image represents the reaction between a certain number of molecules of N2 and H2.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

  • <u><em>The leftover reactant is the nitrogen gas, N₂.</em></u>

Explanation:

As per your description:

<u>1. Square on the left: N₂(g)</u>

  • 3 units of two joint circles: this represents 3 molecules of nitrogen gas, N₂(g).

<u>2. Square on the right: H₂(g)</u>

  • 3 units of two joint circles: this represents 3 molecules of hydrogen gas, H₂(g).

<u>3. Reaction</u>

If the maximum possible amount of NH₃ is formed during the reaction, you assume that the reaction goes to completion.

The chemical equation that represents the reaction is:

  • N₂(g) +  H₂(g) → NH₃(g)

Which must be balanced:

  • N₂(g) +  3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g)

That means that 1 molecule (or 1 mol) of N₂(g) reacts with 3 molecules (or 3 moles ) of  H₂(g) to produce 2 molecules (or 2 moles) of NH₃(g).

Since, the squares show that there are 3 molecules of each reactant, the 3 molecules of hydrogen gas will be able to react with 1 molecule of nitrogen gas. When that happens, all the hydrogen gas is consumend and yet two molecules of nitrogen gas will remain unreacted. Hence, the nitrogen gas is the leftover reactant.

One crystalline form of silica (SiO2) has a cubic unit cell, and from X-ray diffraction data it is known that the cell edge leng
Sav [38]

Answer:

8 Silicon atom are present in unit cell.

16 oxygen atoms are present unit cell.

Explanation:

Number of atoms in unit cell = Z =?

Density of silica = tex]2.32 g/cm^3[/tex]

Edge length of cubic unit cell = a  = 0.700 nm = 0.700\times 10^{-7} cm

1 nm=10^{-7} cm

Molar mass of Silica  = 28.09 g/mol+16.00\times 2=60.09 g/mol

Formula used :  

\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}

where,

\rho = density

Z = number of atom in unit cell

M = atomic mass

(N_{A}) = Avogadro's number  

a = edge length of unit cell

On substituting all the given values , we will get the value of 'a'.

2.32 g/cm3=\frac{Z\times 60.09 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}\times (0.700\times 10^{-7}cm)^{3}}

Z = 8

1 silicon is 2 oxygen atoms. then 8 silicon atoms will be 16 oxygen atoms.
