1. The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape. a. TRUE O. FALSE

The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape is a FALSE statement.

An s orbital is so symmetric, more specifically spherically symmetric that it looks the same from all directions.

  • The atomic orbitals in the atoms of elements differ in shape.

In essence, the electrons they describe have varying probability distributions around the nucleus. The spherical symmetry of s orbitals is evident in the fact that all orbitals of a given shell in the hydrogen atom have the same energy.

  • All s orbitals are spherically symmetrical. Put simply, an electron that occupies an s orbital can be found with the same probability at any orientation (at a distance) from the nucleus.

The s orbitals are therefore represented by a spherical boundary surface which is a surface which captures a high proportion of the electron density.

Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting
ad-work [718]

Answer:

            Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting <u>Electrons</u>.

Explanation:

                   The word Atom is derived from atomos meaning indivisible particle. An atom is a very small sized particle and its size is approximately 100 picometers.

                    Atoms are composed of a Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the nucleus is surrounded by orbiting electrons. Also, the nucleus is positively charged due to +ve protons and the electrons revolving around nucleus are -vely charged making overall atom neutral in nature.

                   Atoms react with another atoms due to the presence of valence electrons present in the valence shell of an atom. The valence electrons would make a covalent bond by mutually sharing the electrons or it may form an ionic bond by gaining and loosing valence electron.

Three common gaseous compounds of nitrogen and oxygen of different elementary composition are known: (A) laughing gas containing
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Please find how these data prove the law of multiple proportions below

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions was proposed by an English chemist called John Dalton. The law states that when two elements combine and to form more than one compound. The weights/masses of the second element in the two compounds, which combines with a fixed ratio of the first element, is in a simple whole number ratio.

In this question, Nitrogen is said to combine with oxygen to give three different compounds as follows:

A) laughing gas containing 63.65% nitrogen i.e. 0.6365g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be (1-0.6365) = 0.3635g

B) colorless gas containing 46.68% nitrogen i.e. 0.4668g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.5332g

C) brown toxic gas containing 30.45% nitrogen i.e. 0.3045g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.6955g

The ratios of oxygen in the three compounds is therefore:

0.3635: 0.5332: 0.6955

Divide this ratio by the smallest number (0.3635)

0.3635/0.3635 = 1

0.5332/0.3635 = 1.467

0.6955/0.3635 = 1.913

Multiply this ratio by 2, we have:

2: 2.9 : 3.8

Hence, the simple whole number ratio is 2:3:4.

This proves the law of multiple proportions that oxygen is in simple whole number ratio in the three different compounds.
