KF
HBr :]
This is to do with the intermolecular forces in the two compounds. There are no hydrogen bonds between the molecules of either compound, since Br and I are not electronegative enough to polarise the molecules sufficiently. But since HI molecules contain more electrons than HBr, there are increased van der Waals forces in HI. For the same reason HBr has a higher boiling point than HCl, but HF has a higher boiling point than HCl, HBr or HI because of hydrogen bonding.
Hydrogen bromide is covalent. Pure HBr has a melting point of -114.20C and a boiling point of -85.10C. The molecule has a dipole moment which is due to the poalr nature of the chemical bond. In water HBr is a strong acid, hydrobromic acid, and is pretty well completely dissocaiated.
HBr In a chemical equation you would write it as HBr(aq).
This does not make a buffer because HBr is a STRONG acid, and for a buffer you need a WEAK acid and the salt of the acid.
KF is an ionic bond. we know this because K is in the alkali group which has relatively low electronegativity and we know that F is the most electronegative element.
HBr can refer to hydrogen bromide, the covalent molecule and hydrobromic acid which is HBr dissolved i water.
single covalent bond
Yes, HBr is covalently bonded. If dissolved in water, it spontaneously ionizes.
It is polar covalent because these two elements are not the same.
HBr is inorganic as it does not contain carbon.
HBr :]
molecular
HBr is covalent as the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is less than 1.7
The Lewis dot structure for hydrogen bromide (HBr) consists of a single covalent bond between the hydrogen atom and the bromine atom. So, there is one single covalent bond in the Lewis dot structure of HBr.
HBr + NaOH ------> NaBr + H2O This is an acid-base reaction. The compounds will disassociate into ions in solution. The hydrogen from the HBr will go to the OH- and form water. The NaBr is a salt.
Polar covalent- due to the difference in electronegativity between H and Br.
