Answer:
The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as trigonal planar.
Explanation:
The Lewis Structure for BF3 is like this:
_ _
| F | | F |
\ /
B
|
| F |
---
It forms three angles of 120° each. The bonds are in the same planar that's why it is trigonal planar and they are exactly the same.
Boron and Fluorine have 3 covalent bonds, produced by electronic promotion that enables the 2py and 2pz orbitals, leaving an electron to pair in the 2px. So boron will have 3 possible electrons to pair in 2s1, 2px and 2py, remember that electronic configuration for B is 1s2, 2s2, 2p1
By hybridization between the orbitals 2s2 and 2p1, the electrons of F, can joined to make the covalent bond. The new B configuration is 1s2, 2s1, 2px1, 2py1 (these last three, hybrid orbitals)
Answer:
Explanation:
The standard system of measurement is what is popularly referred to as SI unit (or international system of units). For example, the SI unit for length is basically in meters (m), which is convertible to millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm) or even kilometer (km).
If there is no standard system of measurement,
1) Scientists will not be able to compare data as every scientist will use a unit that suits him/herself which might make data incomparable as some units might be difficult to convert to other units or there conversion methods might even be debatable.
2) There might be a general lack of understanding of the research work done by a scientist/scientists in the scientific community. This is because the standard system of measurement affords scientists to communicate properly with the same or convertible units and based on 1. above, if scientists use any unit that isn't agreed upon, different/unknown/debatable units might make understanding of research works incomprehensible.
Over 344.76 K the forward reaction will be spontaneous
<u><em>calculation</em></u>
ΔG = ΔH° -TΔs
if ΔG =0
therefore 0 =ΔH°-TΔs
ΔH° = TΔs
divide both side by Δs
T = ΔH°/Δs
convert 34.2 kj into j
that is 1 kj = 1000 j
34.2 kj =? j
<em>by cross multiplication</em>
=[34.2 kj x 1000j / 1 kj] = 34200 j
T is therefore = 34200 j÷99.2 j/k =344.76 k
if T is greater than 344.76 k the forward reaction will be spontaneous
Thats a chemical reaction. I think
