Can one atom in this type of reaction win the "tug of war"? What might happen if it did?

2 answers:

I'm assuming that when you mean "tug of war," you're referring to the pulling of electrons from both atoms in a chemical reaction.

Essentially, yes. If one atom is more strong (the real term is "more electronegative") than the other, it will be able to successfully pull the electron pair entirely from the other atom.

When this happens, one atom will become positive, and the other negative. Because of these opposite charges, the two atoms will attract towards each other, thus forming what is known as an "ionic bond."

Answer: YES

Explanation:

POLAR BONDS will form.

A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electrical dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative.

Given six molecules, identify the molecules with polar bonds and the molecules that are polar.CCl4, CH3Cl, H20, CO2, O2

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Non-polar compounds: $CCl_4$ , $O_2$ , $CO_2$

Polar compounds: $CH_3Cl$ , $H_2O$

Explanation:

For this question, we must start with the Lewis structure for each molecule and then we can do their respective analysis:

-) $CCl_4$

In this case, we have 4 equal atoms attached to the central atom. Therefore, we have the same magnitude of electronegativity. Chlorine atoms have different and opposite directions. Therefore due to the orientation the dipole moments cancel and the net dipole moment will be zero and the molecule will be non-polar.

-) $O_2$

In this case, we have a linear structure in which the magnitude of the dipole moment is the same, but the direction is the opposite. Therefore the dipole moments are canceled and the molecule will be non-polar.

-) $CO_2$

In this case, we also have a linear structure in which the magnitude of the dipole moment is the same, but the direction is the opposite. Therefore the dipole moments are canceled and the molecule will be non-polar.

-) $CH_3Cl$

For this molecule, we have a different atom. The hydrogen atom, therefore the magnitude of one of the atoms attached to the central atom is different and the magnitude of the net dipole moment will be different from zero and the molecule will be polar.

-) $H_2O$

For this molecule, due to the structure of the molecule, the dipole moments of oxygens will not have a totally opposite configuration. Therefore, the net dipole moment will be different from zero and the molecule will be polar.

Using the mass of the proton 1.0073 amu and assuming its diameter is 1.0×10−15m, calculate the density of a proton in g/cm3.

icang [17]

Answer : $3.2 X 10^{15} g/cm^{3}$

Explanation : To convert amu i.e. atomic mass unit in grams we have the conversion factor as 1 amu = $1.66054 X 10^{-24} g$

we know the mass of the proton is 1.0073 amu

So converting it into grams we have to multiply;

1.0073 amu X $1.66054 X 10^{-24} g/amu$ = $1.673 X 10^{-24} g$

Now, Volume = 1/6πd³ as diameter is given as $1.0 X 10^{-15} m$ converting it to cm will require to multiply with 100

∴ Volume = 1/6π $(1.0 X 10^{-15}mX 100 cm / 1 m)^{3}$

Hence, volume = $5.236 X 10^{-40} cm^{3}$

Therefore, Density = mass / volume

∴ Density = $1.673 X 10^{-24} g / 5.236 X 10^{-40} cm^{3}$

Therefore, Density will be $3.2 X 10^{15} g/cm^{3}$ .

Why are the concentrations of [H3O+] and [OH−] equal in pure water?

kotegsom [21]

Answer : The correct option is, (A) $[H_3O^+]=[OH^-]$ because one of each is produced every time an $[H^+]$ transfers from one water molecule to another.

Explanation :

As we know that, when the two water molecule combine to produced hydronium ion and hydroxide ion.

The balanced reaction will be:

$HOH+HOH\rightarrow H_3O^++OH^-$

Acid : It is a substance that donates hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

Base : It is a substance that accepts hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

From this we conclude that, the hydrogen ion are transferred from one water molecule to the another water molecule to form hydronium ion and hydroxide ion. In this reaction, one water molecule will act as a base and another water molecule will act as an acid.

Hence, the correct option is, (A)

What vitamin a compounds bind with opsin to form rhodopsin??

irina [24]

The organic compound retinal binds with opsin and forms rhodopsin. Retinal is part of the molecule that is responsible for its color. This part is called chromophore. On the other hand, opsins are the proteins in photoreceptor cells. Retinal bounds with these opsins and forms rhodopsin: the basis of the human vision. Rhodopsin is also a protein.It is the pigment in the retinas of humans and animals.
