In the molecule ClF3, chlorine makes three covalent bonds. Therefore, three of its seven valence electrons need to be unpaired.

The orbitals with the same energy are known as degenerate orbitals. For example, the p subshell has three degenerate orbital, namely, px, py, and pz. How many degenerate orbitals are needed to contain seven electrons with three of them unpaired

Answer:

Explanation:

Chlorine has electronic configuration of 2 , 8 , 7

In n = 3 there are 7 electrons out of which 2 are in s , and 5 are in p . But out of 5 electrons in p , one electron jumps into d orbital . so the electronic configuration  becomes as follows

3s^23p_x^23p_y^23p_z^1  = 7

3s^23p_x^23p_y^13p_z^13d_{xy}^1

These orbitals like sp³d hybridise to form 7 degenerate orbitals out of which 2 orbitals contain electrons in pairs and rest three are singly occupied by electrons.( unpaired electrons )

A rigid container of gas has a pressure of 1.72 atm and temperature of 21 oC. If the temperature increases to 85 oC, what is the
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

the new pressure is 2.09 atm

Explanation:

you have to use gay lussac's law so the formula is

p1/t1 = p2/t2

and convert C to Kelvin k=C+273.15

1.72atm/294.15 = p2/358.15

solve for p2 by multiplying 358.15 on both sides

p2=2.09 atm

How many molecules is 0.360 mole of water?
Nikitich [7]

Answer: 2.17 x 10^23 molecules

Explanation:

1mole of H2O contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

Therefore 0.360mole of H2O will contain = 0.36 x 6.02x10^23 = 2.17 x 10^23 molecules

The speed of sound depends on these two things:
IrinaVladis [17]

The speed of sound depends on these two things: The type of medium and the temperature of the medium; option a.

<h3>What is the speed of sound?</h3>

The speed of sound is the distance covered in meters over a given period of time.

Speed = distance/time

The speed of sound depends on the following:

  • temperature - the speed of sound increases with temperature
  • medium - the speed of sound increases with increase in density of the medium.

In conclusion, the speed of sound increases with temperature.
