Four atoms are arbitrarily labeled d, e, f, and g. their electronegativities are as follows: d = 3.8, e = 3.3, f = 2.8, and g = 1.3. if the atoms of these elements form the molecules de, dg, eg, and df, how would you arrange these molecules in order of increasing covalent bond character? place the symbols de, dg, eg, and df in the proper sequence, with the most covalent bond on the right.

(Less Covalent Bond)    DG    EG    DF    DE    (Most Covalent Bond)

Explanation:

1. List the electronegativities of the atoms:

D = 3.8

E = 3.3

F = 2.8

G = 1.3

2. Find the difference of electronegativities of the compounds formed:

DE = 3.8-3.3 = 0.5

DG = 3.8 - 1.3 = 2.5

EG = 3.3 - 1.3 = 2.0

DF = 3.8 - 2.8 = 1.0

3. Covalent bonds are formed with the smallest differrence of electronegativity between its atoms, so the order will be:

(Less Covalent Bond)    DG    EG    DF    DE    (Most Covalent Bond)

The strength covalent bond in acceding order of  DG < EG < DF < DE

The electronegativities if the given atoms,

D = 3.8

E = 3.3

F = 2.8

G = 1.3

As we know the covalent bond is stronger when the difference in electronegativities between atom is higher.

The difference in electronegativities of molecules,

DE = 3.8-3.3 = 0.5

DG = 3.8 - 1.3 = 2.5

EG = 3.3 - 1.3 = 2.0

DF = 3.8 - 2.8 = 1.0

Hence, we can conclude that the covalent bond of  DG < EG < DF < DE.

the mantle

explanation:

earth is divided into three layers: the crust or the outermost layer on which we live; the underlying, middle layer - the mantle - and the core (the innermost layer of earth).

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
