    Bond Electrons
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying types of chemical bonds and their characteristics, specifically regarding electron transfer and sharing. Participants confirm that bond Y involves electron transfer, bond X involves equal sharing, and bond Z causes partial charges in atoms. An anion is correctly identified as atom 4, and bond Y is noted to result in the highest melting point. The conversation highlights that the nature of the bonds can vary based on the elements involved, particularly in the context of fluorocarbons and their bonding behavior.

1. which letter shows a bond where electrons are being transferred?
2. which letter shoes a bond where electrons are equally shared?
3. which letter shows a bond that would cause each atom to become partially charged
4. which atom can be considered an anion?
5. which bond above would cause the compound to have the highest melting point?

answers: Y,X,Z,4,Y


are they correct??
thanks!

P.S. EN stands for electronegativity

anion i believe is negative charged atom correct, so then i am correct by saying that it is atom 4 in question #4
 
remember, anions occur when electrons are transfered...
 
so it would be 3 then?
 
well it depends what '3' is attached to. fluorocarbons are not ionicly bonded, but fluorine is commonly an anion. So both 3 and 4 could be anions, but it would depend what they are bonded with.
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
