Does Na2 gas posses metallic character? Explain your answer..​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ratling [72]1 year ago
4 0

Explanation:

<h3>It contains Na2 molecules and the atoms in this molecule are held together by a purely covalent bond because the electronegativity of the two atoms is identical.</h3><h3 /><h3>Metallic bonding would not kick in until you make clusters of quite a few atoms. Such clusters would likely not be very stable because thermodynamically the larger the clump of material the more stable it gets. So they tend to coalesce until you have chunk of metal.</h3><h3 /><h3>Metallic bonding is in a sense a form of covalent bonding, but it is very collective (delocalized over a great many atoms) and electron deficient (there are more states than electrons to fill them up with, leading to conductive properties. This means that “a metallic bond” is a bit of an oxymoron like a forest with only one tree.</h3>

How many grams of chromium metal are plated out when a constant current of 8.00 a is passed through an aqueous solution containi
Oliga [24]
We can solve this without a concrete formula through dimensional analysis. This works by manipulating the units such that you end up with the unit of the final answer. Manipulate them by cancelling units that appear both in the numerator and denominator side. As a result, we must be left with the units of g. The current in A or amperes is equivalent to amount of Coulombs per second. Since this involves Coulombs, we will use the Faraday's constant which is 96,500 C/mol electron. The reaction is:

Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ --> Cr(s)

This means that for every 3 moles of electron transferred, 1 mole of Chromium metal is plated. The molar mass of Cr: 52 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of Chromium metal = (8 C/s)(60 s/1 min)(160 min)(1 mol e⁻/96,500 C)(1 mol Cr/3 mol e)(52 g/mol)
<em>Mass of Chromium metal = 13.79 g</em>

What is the index of hydrogen deficiency of a compound with a molecular formula of c6h15n?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

IHD = 0

Explanation:

Given that

C₆H₁₅N

Number of carbon atoms(n) = 6

Number of hydrogen atoms(x') = 15

Number of nitrogen atoms = 1

There is nitrogen atoms then x = x' -1

The index of hydrogen deficiency given as

IHD=\dfrac{2n+2-x}{2}

So

IHD=\dfrac{2n+2-x}{2}

IHD=\dfrac{2\time 6+2-(15-1)}{2}

IHD = 0

The index of hydrogen deficiency is zero.

What is the mass of 22.4 L of H2 at STP?
Vanyuwa [196]

A. 1.01 is the right answer

Since

The formula is Pv= nRT

P=1 atm

V= 22.4 L

N= x

r= 0.0821

t = 273 k (bc it’s standard temperature)

So (1)(22.4)=(x)(0.0821)(273)

X= 1.001
