<h3>1.<u> Answer;</u></h3>

False

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Bases have some of the following properties;

  • They have a bitter taste
  • They have a slimy, or soapy feel on fingers
  • Most bases react with acids and precipitate salts.
  • Strong bases may react violently with acids.
  • Bases turn red litmus paper blue

<h3>2. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

An acid

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • When acids are dissolved in water, the concentration of the acid decreases and it becomes dilute.
  • It dissociates in water to give H+ ions or hydrogen ions.
  • All acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions, therefore when added to water it increases the concentration of H+ ions in water, as water is a neutral substance whose concentration of H+ ions is equal to OH-.

For each of the following sublevels, give the n and l values and the number of orbitals: (a) 6g; (b) 4s; (c) 3d.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

(a) 6g. Shell 6, n = 6. Subshell g, l = 4. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 9

(b) 4s. Shell 4, n = 4. Subshell s, l = 0. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 1

(c) 3d. Shell 3, n = 3. Subshell d, l = 2. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 5

Explanation:

The rules for electron quantum numbers are:

1. Shell number, 1 ≤ n, n = 1, 2, 3...

2. Subshell number, 0 ≤ l ≤ n − 1, orbital s - 0, p - 1, d - 2, f - 3

3. Orbital energy shift, -l ≤ ml ≤ l

4. Spin, either -1/2 or +1/2

So,

(a) 6g. Shell 6, n = 6. Subshell g, l = 4. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 2l+1 = 9

(b) 4s. Shell 4, n = 4. Subshell s, l = 0. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 2l+1 = 1

(c) 3d. Shell 3, n = 3. Subshell d, l = 2. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 2l+1 = 5

What does a student need to know about double bonds and triple bonds when predicting molecular geometry of molecules?
zhuklara [117]

This problem is asking for an explanation of what we need to know about double and triple bonds to successfully predict molecular geometries in molecules. At the end, one comes to the conclusion that double and triple bonds contribute to the degree in which an atom is bonded and they also determine the lone pairs, which, at the same time,  define the molecular geometry.

<h3>Molecular geometry:</h3>

In chemistry, molecules are not necessarily flat arrangements of atoms, yet they have specific bond angles, orientations and shapes, which define the molecular geometry. In such a way, we can use the VSEPR theory in order to know the molecular geometry of a molecule; however, we first need its Lewis structure or at least the number and type of bonds to do so.

Consider water and carbon dioxide; the former has two hydrogen to oxygen bonds (O-H) and 2 lone pairs because O has six valence electrons but just 2 are bonded to complete the octet, so 4 unpaired electrons lead to two lone pairs. On the other hand, the latter has two double bonds (C=O) and 0 lone pairs because carbon has four valence electrons and they are all bonded to complete the octet.

In such a way, one can see how the double bond affected the bonding in CO2 in contrast to the H2O; situation that also applies to triple bonds, because CO2 has a linear molecular geometry whereas water has a bent one (see attached picture)

Hence, one comes to the conclusion that double and triple bonds contribute to the degree in which an atom is bonded and they also determine the lone pairs, which, at the same time, define the molecular geometry.

Calculate these masses.
Alex
A) mass / volume = density
m/6.00cm3 = 13.5939g/cm3
m = 13.5939g/cm3 • 6.00cm3
m = 81.6g

B) mass / volume = density
m/25.0cm3 = 0.702g/cm3
m = 0.702cm3 • 25.0g/cm3
m = 17.6g

1mL = 1cm3
