3 0

Answer:

a) Mo the electron configuration: 42Mo: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4

Mo3+ - is Paramagnetic

b) Au - [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1

For Au+ is not paramagnetic

c) Mn - [Ar] 3d5 4s2

Mn2+ is paramagnetic

d)Hf -[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d² 6s²

Hf2+ is not paramagnetic

Explanation:

An atom becomes positively charged when it looses an electron.

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

The first-order rate constant for the decomposition of N2O5:
kifflom [539]

Answer:

0.0055 mol of N2O5 will remay after 7 min.

Explanation:

The reaction follows a first-order.

Let the concentration of N2O5 after 7 min be y

Rate = Ky = change in concentration of N2O5/time

K is rate constant = 6.82×10^-3 s^-1

Initial concentration of N2O5 = number of moles/volume = 2.1×10^-2/1.8 = 0.0117 M

Change in concentration = 0.0117 - y

Time = 7 min = 7×60 = 420 s

6.82×10^-3y = 0.0117 - y/420

0.0117 - y = 420×6.82×10^-3y

0.0117 - y = 2.8644y

0.0117 = 2.8644y + y

0.0117 = 3.8644y

y = 0.0117/3.8644 = 0.00303 M

Number of moles of N2O5 left = y × volume = 0.00303 × 1.8 = 0.0055 mol (to 2 significant digits)

What is the radius of a hydrogen atom whose electron is bound by 0.544 ev? express your answer with the appropriate units?
insens350 [35]
First, we need to calculate the principal quantum number n for this electron, using the equation:
E = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
where E is the energy that is used to bound the electron (here, E = - 0.544 eV).
- 0.544 eV = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
n x n = (- 13.60 eV) / (- 0.544 eV)
n x n = 25
n = 5

The orbital radius that is equal to the radius of a hydrogen atom is calculated using the equation:
r = 0.053 nm x n x n
r = 0.053 nm x 5 x 5
r = 0.053 nm x 25
r = 1.325 nm

What is meant by localised orbitals? Explain.
Anni [7]
Localized molecular orbitals are molecular orbitals which are concentrated in a limited spatial region of a molecule, for example a specific bond or a lone lake on a specific atom.
