How would you describe the strength of the bonds that result from resonance in SO3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sladkaya [172]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

All bonds are equivalent in length and strength within the molecule.

Gaseous SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule that exhibit a D3h symmetry group.

Sulfur has sp2 hybridization and it has 6 outer electrons which make the bonds with the oxygen.

Its constituent sulfur atom has an oxidation state of +6 and a formal charge of 0.

The Lewis structure is made up of one S=O double bond and two S–O dative bonds that doesn't not engage the d-orbitals. ( Thus, SO3 molecule has three double bonded oxygen to the central sulfur atom). This explains the strength.

It gaseous form had a zero electrical dipole moment  because of the 120° angle between the S-O bonds.

A baby weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces at birth and 7 pounds, I ounce at discharge. What percent of weight did the baby lose
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

2.6%

Explanation:

As, 1 ounce (oz) =  0.0625 pounds (lb)

Therefore, weight of baby at discharge = 7 lb,1 oz = 7+0.0625 lb = 7.0625 lb

Since, 1 oz =  0.0625 lb

⇒ 4 oz = 4×0.0625 = 0.25 lb

Therefore, weight of baby at birth = 7 lb,4 oz = 7+0.25 lb = 7.25 lb

The <u>amount of weight lost</u> is equal to the difference of weight of the baby at birth and discharge.

Therefore, <u>weight lost</u> = 7.25 lb - 7.0625 lb = <u>0.1875 lb</u>

Now, the <u>percentage of weight lost</u> by the baby is given by the amount of weight lost divided by the weight of the baby at birth.

Therefore, <u>the percentage of weight los</u>t = weight lost ÷ weight at birth = 0.1875 lb ÷ 7.25 lb × 100 = <u>2.6% </u>

What part of a wind turbine provides motion to convert into electricity?
sineoko [7]
This is somewhat of a misleading question, because all of these elements are necessary to convert motion into electricity at some point, but the generator is the last in line.

Label each statement with its corresponding type of scientific knowledge.

Label each statement with its corresponding type of scientific knowledge.


law

theory

fact

hypothesis


The melting point of ice is 0°C: thus is a fact based on repetitive experiments


Repeated observations have consistently

shown that oppositely charged objects

attract each other: this is law


When the elements carbon and nitrogen

are mixed at 1500°C, they will react

with each other.

this is a hypothesis

Atoms are made of protons, neutrons,

and electrons. Although we can’t directly

see these particles, this structure

explains many experimental observations
