Answer:
See detailed answer with explanation below.
Explanation:
Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.
Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.
Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.
In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.
The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.
The percentage composition of each element has been given
therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is
B N H
mass 40.28 g 52.20 g 7.53 g
number of moles
40.28 g / 11 g/mol 52.20 g / 14 g/mol 7.53 g / 1 g/mol
= 3.662 mol = 3.729 mol = 7.53 mol
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662
3.662 / 3.662 3.729 / 3.662 7.53 / 3.662
= 1.000 = 1.018 = 2.056
the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is
B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2
therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂
that can be written as BNH₂
Answer:
OH−(aq), and H+(aq)
Explanation:
Redox reactions may occur in acidic or basic environments. Usually, if a reaction occurs in an acidic environment, hydrogen ions are shown as being part of the reaction system. For instance, in the reduction of the permanganate ion;
MnO4^-(aq) + 8H^+(aq) +5e-------> Mn^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)
The appearance of hydrogen ion in the reaction equation implies that the process takes place under acidic reaction conditions.
For reactions that take place under basic conditions, the hydroxide ion is part of the reaction equation.
Hence hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion are included in redox reaction half equations depending on the conditions of the reaction whether acidic or basic.
Answer:
induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.
Explanation:
Hexane is non-polar in nature. This is due to :
The bond in the molecule is C-H, which is non-polar in nature because the carbon and the hydrogen having very similar electronegativity values.
Hexane is also symmetric.
The intermolecular force acting in the molecule of the hexane are induced the dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.
Answer:
462g
Explanation:
First, let us calculate the molar mass of Cu(CN)2. This is illustrated below:
Molar Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 63.5 + 2(12+14) = 63.5 + 2(26) = 63.5 + 52 = 115.5g/mol
Number of mole of Cu(CN)2 given from the question = 4moles
Mass = number of mole x molar Mass
Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 4 x 115.5
Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 462g
