Why is the brcl molecule polar? the shared electrons are closer to cl due to the greater electronegativity of chlorine. bromine

has a large positive nucleus. three-dimensional geometry is asymmetrical. chlorine gains an electron whereas bromine loses one?

The shared electrons are closer to Cl due to the greater electronegativity of chlorine.
Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: the shared electrons are closer to cl due to the greater electronegativity of chlorine.


Justification:


1) In a covalent bond (the bond between two non-metal elements) the electrons are shared.


2) When the two elements have different electronegativities the electrons are not evely shared: the element with the greatest electronegativity will pull the electrons with higher strength.


3) As consequence the electrons will be closer to the most electronegative atom creating a dipole moment, which is what causes the molecule to be polar.


4) You can learn the trend of electronegativity in the periodic table: in a group the electronegativity decreases downward. With this you do not need a table with the values of the electronegativities and can predict that the electronegativity of Cl is greater than the electronegativity of Br.


5) From above statements you can conclude that, due to its greater electronegativity, chorine will pull the electrons with greater strength, causing the molecule to be polar.

λmax for the π → π* transition in ethylene is 170 nm. Is the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene greater than or less than t
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

Explanation:

The λmax is the wavelength of maximum absorption. We could use it to calculate the HOMO-LUMO energy difference as follows:

For ethylene

E= hc/λ= 6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/170×10^-9= 1.17×10^-18J

For cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

E= hc/λ=6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/230×10^-9=8.6×10^-19J

Therefore, the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene

Give three examples, from the lab, where potential energy was converted to kinetic energy.
GREYUIT [131]

Give 3 Examples of where potential energy was converted to knlinetic energy:

Curtain

A ball before moving

An apple from the tree then falling down

When the Curtains are still, we call the that potential energy. If you move the curtains around, that is kinetic energy

The ball is still, that is potential energy. Then the ball is moving, the is kinetic energy

There is a apple ganging from a tree, that is potential energy. That apple is fall, this is kinetic energy

Hope this helps

Don't type or write in the answer, I'm not sure what from the lab means. These are a few potential into kinetic energy I could have think of!

In the lab there is a vile of mercury and it has a mass of 43.0 grams. If the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL, what is the volum
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 3.16 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}

From the question

mass = 43 g

density = 13.6 g/mL

The volume is

volume =  \frac{43}{13.6}  \\   = 3.161764

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.16 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

The electronegativity is 2.1 for h and 1.9 for pb. based on these electronegativities pbh4 would be expected to
Sedbober [7]
PbH4 will be formed as a result of a polar covalent bond between the H and the Pb.

Since H is more electronegative than the Pb, it is, thus, expected that the H would be able to pull the electron charge towards itself. This will result in the H being negative.

Based on this:
PbH4 would be expected to <span>have polar covalent bonds with a partial negative charges on the H atoms. </span>
