Q:

Which bond has the greatest ionic character?

A) H-F B) H-Cl
C) H-N D) H-O
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) H-F

Explanation:

Ionic character depends on the electronegativity difference between the bonding elements. The greatest the elctronegativity diffference the greatest the ionic character.

Here in the given options, H-F has has the greatest ionic character. The electronegativity of Hydrogen is 2.1 and that of Fluorine is 4. Now the electronegativity difference is 4 - 2.1 = 1.9.

Q:

When combining with nonmetallic atoms, metallic atoms generally will

A) Lose electrons and forms cations B) Gain electrons and forms anions
C) Lose electrons and forms anions D) Gain electrons and forms cations
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Lose electrons and forms cations

Explanation:

When combining with nonmetallic atoms, metallic atoms generally will Lose electrons and forms cations.

 

As the ionization energy of te metals are very low, so they can easily lose electrons and form positively charged ion called cations.

Q:

What is the primary component of natural gas?

A) Nitrogen B) Ethane
C) Propane D) Methane
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Methane

Explanation:

Natural gas is primarily composed of methane, but also contains ethane, propane, and heavier hydrocarbons.

 

Natural gas is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic gas. Because it is odorless, mercaptan is added to the natural gas, in very small amounts to give the gas a distinctive smell of rotten eggs. This strong smell can alert you of a potential gas leak.

 

It also contains small amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and trace amounts of water.
