In modern atomic theory, bohr's orbits are replaced by atomic orbitals. what is an atomic orbital?

Chemistry

Darya [45]2 years ago

Bohr's theory states that the motion of the electron (particle) around the nucleus is very much similar to motion of the planets around the sun in the solar system. Both in the mathematical and physical sense.

The Bohr's Atomic theory only explains the motion of the electrons in discrete atomic orbitals that are predicted by the Bohr's equation.

It strictly implies that the electron only exists in these discreet orbitals and fails to explain anything about the nature of the electron in between the discrete orbitals.

The modern atomic theory does not share this limitation as it does not impose the electron to only occupy the discrete orbitals and neither does it impose particle nature upon the electron.

In the modern theory does not focus on describing the motion of the electron around the orbital but rather the probability of finding an electron around the nucleus. The modern atomic orbitals or electron clouds are the regions in which the probability of finding the electron is the highest when the wave function collapses.  The Schrödinger's wave equation explains the evolution of the wave function in time. Hence enabling us to predict the future possible locations of the electron but never the exact location as that is impossible due to the Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle.

Please help<br> Explain why a molecule that has polar bonds can be a polar molecule.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, obviously a molecule with polar bonds can be polar in itself. It's like saying I am an atheltic person who can just reach the basketball rim with my head and also I can dunk.

But if the question is how can a molecule that in non-polar have polar bonds, well, its because the polar bonds' dipole cancels each other out. It's like a tight rope. If a person pulls in one direction, it intuitively, the rope would go in that direction. However, if a person pulls in the other direction with the same amount of force, the rope stays still. This is the same case. Although molecules can have different electronegativities, the pull of electrons in one direction is cancelled out by a pull in the opposite direction, making the net dipole 0.

This is common for main VSERP shaped molecules like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.

A 0.2 M carboxylic acid (RCOOH) has a Ka = 1.66x10-6. What is the pH of this solution? Enter to 2 decimal places.
maria [59]

Answer:

3.24

Explanation:

The dissociation equation for the carboxylic acid can be represented as follows:

RCOOH —-> RCOO- + H+

We can use an ICE table to get the value of the concentration of the hydrogen ion. ICE stands for initial, change and equilibrium.

RCOOH RCOO- H+

Initial 0.2 0.0. 0.0

Change -x +x. +x

Equilibrium 0.2-x. x. x

We can now find the value of x as follows:

Ka = [RCOO-][H+]/[RCOOH]

(1.66* 10^-6) = (x * x)/(0.2-x)

(1.66 * 10^-6) (0.2-x) = x^2

x^2 = (3.32* 10^-7) - (1.66*10^-6)x

x^2 + (1.66 * 10^-6)x - (3.32* 10^-7) = 0

Solving the quadratic equation to get x:

x = 0.0005753650094369094 or - 0.0005753650094369094

As concentration cannot be negative, we discard the negative answer

Hence [H+] = 0.0005753650094369094

By definition, pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(0.0005753650094369094)

pH = 3.24
