VB theory does not indicate that the diatomic molecule He₂ is a viable species.

Helium has atomic number 2, it has 2 protons and 2 electrons.

Electron configuration of helium atom: ₂He 1s².

Helim (He) is a noble gas.

Noble gases (group 18) are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

Noble gases have very stable electron configuration and does not need to gain electrons, only when they gain energy.

Valence bond (VB) theory explains chemical bonding.

Helium atom is stable and does not form molecule.

How does the size of a nanoparticle compare with the size of an atom?

RSB [31]

A nanoparticle is larger than an atom. A nanoparticle is usually made from a few hundred atoms. These particles range from 1 nanometers to 100 nanometers. On the other hand an atom ranges from 0.1 nanometers to 105 nanometers. Using the sizes above, one can clearly see and understand that an atom is smaller.

En un vaso de precipitado de un litro se coloca exactamente 500 mL de agua destilada a temperatura ambiente y se realizan dos ex

Serga [27]

Answer:

1) La masa del agua a temperatura ambiente es de 500 gramos, 2) La masa del agua cuando se congela es de 500 gramos, 3) La masa de agua que queda después de la evaporación es de 400 gramos, 4) Se ha evaporado 100 gramos de agua.

Explanation:

1) ¿Cuál es la masa de agua a temperatura ambiente?

Podemos determinar la masa inicial del agua ( $m_{o}$ ), medido en gramos, al conocer su densidad ( $\rho_{w}$ ), medida en gramos por mililitro, y volumen inicial ocupado en el vaso de precipitado ( $V_{o}$ ), medido en mililitros, a partir de la siguiente expresión:

$m_{o} =\rho_{w}\cdot V_{o}$

Si sabemos que $\rho_{w} = 1\,\frac{g}{mL}$ y $V_{o} = 500\,mL$ , entonces:

$m_{o} = \left(1\,\frac{g}{mL} \right)\cdot (500\,mL)$

$m_{o} = 500\,g$

La masa del agua a temperatura ambiente es de 500 gramos.

2) ¿Cuál es la masa de agua cuando se congela?

Puesto que el proceso de congelación no implica transferencia de masa, la masa de agua se conserva al transformarse en hielo. Por tanto, la masa resultante es de 500 gramos.

3) ¿Cuál es la masa de agua que queda después de la evaporación?

Durante la evaporación una parte del agua es transferida al aire, entonces podemos calcular la masa final ( $m_{f}$ ), medido en gramos, de la sustancia al multiplicar el volumen final ( $V_{f}$ ), medido en mililitros, por la densidad del agua ( $\rho_{w}$ ), medida en gramos por mililitro,. Es decir,

$m_{f} =\rho_{w}\cdot V_{f}$

Si sabemos que $\rho_{w} = 1\,\frac{g}{mL}$ y $V_{f} = 400\,mL$ , entonces:

$m_{f} = \left(1\,\frac{g}{mL} \right)\cdot (400\,mL)$

$m_{f} = 400\,g$

La masa de agua que queda después de la evaporación es de 400 gramos.

4) ¿Qué masa de agua se evaporó?

Determinamos que la masa evaporada de agua ( $m_{v}$ ), medida en gramos, es igual a la diferencia entre las masas inicial y final, ambas medidas en gramos:

$m_{v} =m_{o}-m_{f}$

Si $m_{o} = 500\,g$ y $m_{f} = 400\,g$ , entonces tenemos que:

$m_{v} = 500\,g -400\,g$

$m_{v} = 100\,g$

Se ha evaporado 100 gramos de agua.

Identify the ways that art and science are similar

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Arts and science are similar in that they are expressions of what it is to be human in this world.

Explanation:

Both are driven by curiosity, discovery, the aspiration for knowledge of the world or oneself, and perhaps, as the conceptual artist Goshka Macuga said on her recent visit to Cern, a desire for world domination.

Why is it necessary to find the percent yield of a reaction? A. to determine the efficiency of the reaction B. to determine the

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A. to determine the efficiency of the reaction

Explanation:

Percentage is the ratio of the actual yield to theoretical yield as a percentage. It is calculated by dividing the actual yield by theoretical yield then multiplying by 100%.
Calculation of percentage yield is important as it helps in the determination of efficiency of a reaction. For example in most industries for the purpose of making the most product with the least waste.
Additionally, calculating the percentage yield helps in determining other products that may be formed during the reactions.

Define reaction rate

suter [353]

Answer:

The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. Reaction rates can vary dramatically.
