Chlorine has an electronegativity value of 3.0. Given the electronegativity of N, O, and P (3.0, 3.5, and 2.1, respectively), which of the following molecules has nonpolar bonds?a. NCl3b. Cl2Oc. PCl3d. All of thesee. None of these

a. NCl3

Explanation:

All the elements stated are non metals. Generally the bond between non metals is a covalent bond. However depending on how the electrons are shared, this bond can either be polar or non polar.

A non polar covalent bond is formed when the electrons are shared equally between the atoms.

A way to determine if a bond is non polar or polar covalent is by comparing the electronegativity values.

If the electronegativity difference is less than 0.5, it is regarded as a non polar covalent bond.

Going back to the question;

Between N and Cl; the electronegativity difference is 3.0 - 3.0 = 0

Between Cl and O; the electronegativity difference is 3.5 - 3.0 = 0.5

Between Cl and P; the electronegativity difference is 3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4

From these we can tell that the correct option is option A.

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
