What is included in counting the electron domain around the central atom vsepr theory

Chemistry
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Lone pairs and bonding pairs  

Explanation:

The electron domain around the central atom includes

  • All lone pairs on the central atom
  • All bonding pairs between the central atom and the atoms directly attached to it

Double and triple bonds count as single domains.

Thus, the nitrite ion has three electron domains:

  1. A lone pair
  2. An N-O single bond
  3. An N-O double bond

Most ionic compouds are crystalline solids at room temperature. True False
Zina [86]

<u>Answer:</u>

For 1: The correct answer is True.

For 2: The correct answer is True.

For 3: The correct answer is False.

For 4: The correct answer is False.

For 5: The correct answer is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionic compounds are formed when there is complete transfer of electrons from one element to another element to form a compound. The element which looses electrons is known as electropositive element and tend to form cation and the element which gains electrons is known as electronegative element and tend to form anion.

These compounds are generally crystalline solids at room temperature.

These compounds are electrically neutral species. Total negative charge is always equal to the total positive charge.

As, there is electrostatic attraction between the charged species, therefore they form stronger bonds and to break these bonds, more and more amount of energy is require. Hence, these compounds have high melting as well as boiling points.

When these compounds are melted, the ions get separated and the solution contains free ions which tend to conduct electricity very easily. Hence, ionic compounds do conduct electricity when they are melted.

Therefore, from the above information:

For 1: The correct answer is True.

For 2: The correct answer is True.

For 3: The correct answer is False.

For 4: The correct answer is False.

For 5: The correct answer is True.

Hydrogen gas, H2, reacts explosively with gaseous chlorine, Cl2, to form hydrogen chloride, HCl(g). What is the enthalpy change
Degger [83]

Answer:

-184.6 KJ/mole

Explanation:

H2(g) + Cl2(g) ------------> 2HCl(aq)    

Δ H0 rxn = Δ H0f products - Δ H0f reactants

= 2×-92.3 - (0 + 0)

= -184.6KJ/mole

H2(g) + Cl2(g) ------------> 2HCl(aq)       Δ H0rxn   = -184.6KJ/mole

Describe what a polar covalent bond is and name a common compound that has a polar covalent bond holding it together
ch4aika [34]
Polar covalent are type of covalent bond ( sharing of electrons)  in which the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average closer to one atom's nucleus. An example of a compound that has a polar covalent bond is water (H2O). The electrons are unequally shared, with the oxygen atom spending more time with electrons than the hydrogen atoms. Since electrons spend more time with the oxygen atom, it carries a partial negative charge.
