He used that name because if you lit hydrogen on fire it would catch. therefore, it was dangerous to be around. think of it as a kind of warning. :) hope that helps.

The gas formed in the experiment could catch fire easily. So, he named the gas inflammable air.

How did the change of stress (adding or removing reactants or products) cause a shift in the equilibrium system of your solution
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

One way is to add or remove a product or a reactant in a chemical reaction at equilibrium. When additional reactant is added, the equilibrium shifts to reduce this stress: it makes more product. When additional product is added, the equilibrium shifts to reactants to reduce the stress. :)

Consider the molecule BF3. (a) What is the electron config- uration of an isolated B atom? (b) What is the electron con- figurat
anzhelika [568]

For the given molecule, we are asked to give-

  1. The electron configuration of an isolated B atom
  2. The electron configuration of an isolated F atom
  3. Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride
  4. valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom.
  • The electron configuration of an isolated B atom:

as atomic number of B is 5

electronic configuration will be [He] 2s² 2p¹

  • The electron configuration of an isolated F atom:

as atomic number of F is 9

electronic configuration will be  [He] 2s² 2p5

  • Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride will be sp2.

as the one s and two of p orbital from the valance shell will hybridised to make 3 hybrid orbital of B resulting in 3 B-F bonds.

  • valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom will be 1
