Hello
We know both the elements involved in bonding are non-metals and the primary type of bonds involved in non-metals are covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share one or more electrons; thus we know that whatever the number of electrons shared, it has to be equal for both. We can eliminate choices A and B.
Next, we understand that it is easier for one atom to be shared among the two, rather than the 7. First, because Hydrogen needs only 1 electron to be stable and would require energy to compensate the remaining 6. Second, electrons are attracted towards the nucleus so it is inefficient to try and share 7 electrons when 1 provides the same amount of stability to Fluorine.
Therefore, the answer is C.

A magnesium ion, Mg2+, with a charge of 3.2×10−19C and an oxide ion, O2−, with a charge of −3.2×10−19C, are separated by a dista

baherus [9]

Explanation:

Formula for work done is as follows.

W = $-k \frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{d}$

where, k = proportionality constant = $8.99 \times 10^{9} Jm/C^{2}$

$q_{1} = charge of Mg^{2+} = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} C$

$q_{2} = charge of O_{2-} = -3.2 \times 10^{-19} C$

d = separation distance = 0.45 nm = $0.45 \times 10^{-9} m$

Now, we will put the given values into the above formula and calculate work done as follows.

W = $-k \frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{d}$

= $\frac{-[8.99 \times 10^{9} Jm/C^{2} \times 3.2 \times 10^{-19} C \times -3.2 \times 10^{-19} C]}{0.25 \times 10^{-9} m}$

= $3.68 \times 10^{-18} J$

Thus, we can conclude that work required to increase the separation of the two ions to an infinite distance is $3.68 \times 10^{-18} J$ .

torisob [31]

Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to the right that is the forward reaction.

Explanation:

The chemical compound known as "Acetaminophen" is a chemical compound that is generally known to a layman as Paracetamol and it belongs to the drug class known as anagelsics which helps in the treatment of pain or say in the reduction of pain. Acetaminophen has the chemical Formula to be C8H9NO2, with the Molar mass of 151.163 g/mol and Boiling point of 420 °C.

The reaction between Acetaminophen and sodium methoxide gives methanol and acetaminophen sodium salt. Therefore, the acid base equilibrium reaction of these species is given as;

C8H9NO2 + CH3ONa <========> CH3OH + acetaminophen sodium salt.

The equilibrium shifts to the right that is the forward reaction.

Which quantity can vary among atoms of the same element?

Wewaii [24]

There is this thing called isotopes
it means that atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons.
if there is a change in the no. of neutrons, there will definitely be a change in the mass number.

so the answer is A) mass number

When a 375 mL sample of nitrogen is kept at constant temperature, it has a pressure of 1.2 atmospheres. What pressure does it ex

kolezko [41]

Answer:

It exerts a pressure of 3.6 atm

Explanation:

This is a gas law problem. We are looking at volume and pressure with temperature being kept constant, thus, the gas law to use is Boyle’s law. It states that at a given constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas.

Mathematically; P1V1 = P2V2

Let’s identify the parameters according to the question.

P1 = 1.2 atm

V1 = 375mL

P2 = ?

v2 = 125mL

We arrange the equation to make room for P2 and this can be written as:

P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = (1.2 * 375)/125

P2 = 3.6 atm
