Answer:

Angle between the carbon-sulfur bond and the carbon-nitrogen bond in the thiocyanate ion $SCN^-$ is 180°.

Explanation:

The hybridization of carbon atom is sp hybridized. The shape of the sp hybridized carbon is linear which means that angle between sulfur carbon a bond and carbon nitrogen bond is 180 °.

Where as $sp^3$ hybridized carbon has tetrahedral shape with an angle of 109.5°.

Where as $sp^2$ hybridized carbon has trigonal planar with an angle of 120°.

2. State one difference between gas and vapour. Which of the following substance in the gaseous state should be called a vapour?

Neporo4naja [7]

Difference between Gas and Vapour:

Gas:
A thermodynamic state in which a substance exists only in one phase i.e. Gas phase. In above given examples N₂, He and CO₂ exists as gases at room temperature. These gases cannot form a solid or liquid phase along with gas phase as these states requires very low temperatures.

Vapours:
It is a thermodyanamic state in which a substance exists in more than one phase. In given options Sulfur can exist in vapor state. This is because sulfur exists in a cyclic or chain form due to catenation (self linkage property). Therefore, a lower members of S allotrops can form a vapours.

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+

eimsori [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

Option a: $Ag^+$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

Option b: $Pb$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Pb^{2+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

$Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V$

Option c: $H_2$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $H^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

$H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V$

Option d: $Ag$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Ag^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

$Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V$

Option e: $Mg^{2+}$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.

What happens when an electron absorbs energy

Eduardwww [97]

When an electron absorbs energy, it will move up from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, called the "excited state" of the negatively-charged subatomic particle. However, the absorbed energy is released within a small interval of time and the electron moves down to its "ground state."

Which atom would form a cation? F Na N P

sineoko [7]

Answer:

I believe Na

Explanation:

Copper, because it is the only metal out of all of them.

Therefore copper is the only element that can loose electrons to have a positive charge, it is the most likely to become a cation.
