To determine whether a compound is polar or nonpolar you have to take into account:
1) formation of dipoles due to the difference in electronegativities of the atoms
2) shape of the molecule to conclude whether there is a net dipole momentum.
You already, likely, know that the electronegativities of H and O are significatively different, being O more electronegative thatn H. So, you can conclude easilty that the electrons are atracted more by O than by H, thus creating two dipoles H→O
Regarding the shape, it may appear that the molecule is symmetrical, which would lead to the cancellation of the two dipoles. But that is not the true. The H2O2 is not symmetrical.
The lewis structure just show this shape
** **
H - O - O - H
** **
which is what may induce to think that the molecule is symmetrical, leading to the misconception that it is nonpolar.
But in a three dimensional arrangement you could see that the hydrogens are placed in non symmetrical positions, which leads to the formation of a net dipole momentum, and thus to a polar molecule.
The fact that H2O2 is a polar compound is the reason why it can be mixed with water and the H2O2 that you buy in the pharmacy is normally a solution in water.
So, the hydrogen peroxide is polar because the hydrogens are not placed symmetrically in the molecule, which result in a net dipole momentum.
Answer:
The electronic configuration that are incorrectly written is 1s²2s³2p⁶, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴.
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the elements corresponds to how all the electrons of an element are arranged in energy levels and sub-levels.
There are 7 energy levels —from 1 to 7— whose sublevels are described as s, p, d and f.
All electronic configurations begin with the term "1s" —corresponding to the sublevel s of level 1— so 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴ are incorrectly written. In addition, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷ is written incorrectly because is impossible to jump from the sublevel "s" to the sublevel "d" —which is found from level 3 and up— without passing through the sublevel "p".
In the case of 1s²2s³2p⁶, the wrong thing is that the sublevel "s" can only hold two electrons, not three.
The other options are correctly written.
Answer:the term 'atom' in chemistry represents the basic unit of matter that normally exists in a free state and contains all chemical properties. It is an infinite particle that clearly identifies a chemical element. It consists of a positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
An ion or charge is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons. An ion that has a negative charge, when it gains one or more electrons, is called an anion or negative charge, and an ion that has a positive charge when it loses one or more electrons, is called a cation or positive charge.
Explanation:
5 Na molecules and 5 Cl molecules
fourth period
The third period is similar to the second, except the 3s and 3p sublevels are being filled. Because the 3d sublevel does not fill until after the 4s sublevel, the fourth period contains 18 elements, due to the 10 additional electrons that can be accommodated by the 3d orbitals.
