Explain, in terms of element classification, why KBr is an ionic compound

enot [183]

LBr is ionic compound because k for potassium is metal which means it’s on the left side of the periodic table and Br which is bromine is a non metal which means is on the right side of the periodic table.

In Conclusion when a non metal and metal come together the are called ionic compound

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

[Given] 500. g C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose)

[Solve] moles C₂H₅OH (Ethanol)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 mol C₂H₅OH

[PT] Molar mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ - 6(12.01) + 12(1.01) + 6(16.00) = 180.18 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 500 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{180.18 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6})(\frac{2 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH}{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6})$
[DA} Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 5.55001 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

5.55001 mol C₂H₅OH ≈ 5.55 mol C₂H₅OH

The actet rule indicates that

Nimfa-mama [501]

an atom will gain or lose electrons to obtain 8 electrons in it's outer shell. In other words, elements want to reach an electron configuration of the nearest noble gas.

Determine if each statement is True or False. [ Select ] Central atoms with four electron groups will be sp3 hybridized. [ Selec

meriva

Answer:

Central atoms with four electron groups will be sp3 hybridized. True

Hybrid orbitals are delocalized over the entire molecule. False

The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that are blended together. True

Atoms with a single pi bond and an octet are sp2 hybridized. True

Sometimes oxygen atoms will be sp3d hybridized in organic molecules. False

All resonance structures must be considered when assigning hybridization. False

Explanation:

When a central atom has four electron groups attached to it, then it must be sp3 hybridized. This is the case in ammonia, water, hydrogen sulphide, methane etc.

Hybridization is a valence bond concept while delocalization is a molecular orbital theory concept. Hybridized orbitals are localized on central atoms in a molecule while delocalized orbitals spread across the entire molecule.

According to valence bond theory, the number of atomic orbitals that combined to give hybrid orbitals must be equal to the number of hybrid orbitals formed.

When an atom has a single pi bond and on octet of electrons, then it must be sp2 hybridized. Remember that in ethene for instance, carbon has one pi bond and an octet of electrons.

Oxygen has an empty n=3 level hence it can not have d-orbitals involved in hybridization.

The electron domain geometry of the molecule is considered when assigning hybridization and not the resonance structures. All the resonance structures must have the central atom in the same hybridization state.
