explain why a s bond formed by overlap of an s orbital with an sp3 orbital of carbon is stronger than a sbond formed by overlap

of an s orbital with a p orbital of carbon

sp^{3} orbital have less electron density than p orbital. Therefore on overlap of s orbital with sp^{3} less repulsion take place than overlapping of sp3 orbital.

Electronegativity depends on s character.

In sp^{3}  there is hybridization between one s and 3 p orbital. Therefore,   sp^{3}have 25% of s character .

In p orbital , there is no s orbital present. Therefore s character is p orbital is 0% .

Higher the electronegativity means higher tendency to attract electron.

Thus, bond form by overlap of sp^{3} and s will be stronger than bond formed by overlap of s with p.

1. The H atom and the Be +3 ion each have one electron. Does the Bohr model predict their spectra accurately? Would you expect t
lesantik [10]

Answer:

yes the Bohr model predicts their spectra accurately

Explanation:

The Bohr model based on one electron system

The atom H  has a single atom and the ion Be+3 has a single atom as well and this proves that the Bohr model predicts their spectra accurately .

also apply the equation model to further explain

E = \frac{-(z^2) (2.18 * 10^{-18}j) }{n^2}

z = atomic number

for H the value of z = 1

for Be+3 the value of z = 4

when this values are substituted into the equation above

E =  \frac{-(1) (2.18 * 10^{-18}j) }{n^2} ,   E = \frac{-(4) (2.18 * 10^{-18}j) }{n^2}

this results show that the energy  level of Be+3 is higher than the energy level of H by a factor of 16 , and this shows that their line patterns are similar

Calculate the activation energy (ea in kj/mol for a reaction if the rate constant (k is 2.7 × 10-4 (m−1sec−1 at 600 k and 3.5 ×
djyliett [7]
Below are the choices:

a. −166 kJ/mol 
<span>b. 166 kJ/mol </span>
<span>c. 1.64 kJ/mol </span>
<span>d. 1.66 × 10^5 kJ/mol
</span>
To calculate the activation energy of a reaction, we use the Arrhenius equation.  You may want to look it up to see how and why it works.  In the problem you posted, there are two temperatures and two rate constants.  After some rearranging and substitution of the Arrhenius equation, we have Ea = R T1 T2/(T1-T2) ln(k1/k2) = 8.314 J/mol K (600 K)(650 K)/(600 K-650 K) ln(2.7×10^-4 M^−1sec^−1/3.5×10^−3 M−^1sec^−1) = 166145 J/mol = 166 kJ/mol => choice b
