Why must contact lenses be removed before you enter a chemistry laboratory?

Chemistry

RUDIKE [14]3 years ago

The vapors of some chemicals used in the chemistry laboratory, especially isocyanates, can react and bond the contact lens to the eye.

(FYI - the family of isocyanates include Superglue..I wouldn't want to have been the person who discovered this unfortunate reaction!)

Forming a covalent bond

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons. Covalent bonding occurs in most non-metal elements, and in compounds formed between non-metals.

These shared electrons are found in the outer shells of the atoms. Usually each atom contributes one electron to the shared pair of electrons.

The slideshow shows how a covalent bond forms between a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom, making hydrogen chloride.

Structures of a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom.

1. A hydrogen atom with one electron and a chlorine atom with 17 electrons


Molecules

Most covalently bonded substances consist of small molecules. A molecule is a group of two or more atoms joined together by covalent bonds. Molecules of the same element or compound always contain the same number of atoms of each element.

The atoms in a molecule are always joined together by a covalent bond. Substances that are made up of ions do not form molecules.

Sizes of atoms and simple molecules

A small molecule contains only a few atoms, so atoms and small molecules have a similar range of sizes. They are very small, typically around 0.1 nm or 1 × 10-10 m across.

The atomic number of fluorine is 9. How many electrons does an ion of fluorine have if it is represented by the symbol shown bel
Irina-Kira [14]
  • See charge on ion is -1 .

Hence it has taken 1 electron

Now first look at EC of Fluorine(F)

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^5

  • Now one electron added .hence no of electrons is 10now

Look at the EC

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^6

Or

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow [He]

Option C is correct.
