What causes atoms to react with each other?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because it is energetically favorable for atoms to be in that configuration.

Explanation:

Since not all elements have enough electrons to fill their outermost shells, atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms. Atoms react with one another to form chemical bonds because they want to ATTAIN STABILITY.

Diazomethane has the following composition by mass: 28.57% C, 4.80% H, and 66.64% N. The molar mass of diazomethane is 42.04 g/m
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

CH2N2

Explanation:

To find the molecular formula, we must first find the empirical formula as follows:

28.57% C - 28.57g of Carbon

4.80% H - 4.80g of Hydrogen

66.64% N - 66.64g of Nitrogen

Next, we convert this mass values to mole by dividing by their respective atomic mass.

C = 28.57/12 = 2.38mol

H = 4.80/1 = 4.80mol

N = 66.64/14 = 4.76mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest mole value (2.38mol)

C = 2.38mol ÷ 2.38 = 1

H = 4.80mol ÷ 2.38 = 2.01

N = 4.76mol ÷ 2.38 = 2

The empirical ratio of C, H and N is therefore 1:2:2. Hence, the empirical formula is CH2N2

To calculate the molecular formula;

(CH2N2)n = 42.04 g/mol

{12 + 1(2) + 14(2)}n = 42.04

{12 + 2 + 28}n = 42.04

{42}n = 42.04

n = 42.04/42

n = 1.00009

Since n = 1, molecular formula is CH2N2
