Noble gas compounds like KrF, XeCl, and XeBr are used in excimer lasers. Draw an approximate molecular orbital diagram appropria

te for these molecules (they will be quite similar). Give the ground-state electron configuration of KrF and predict whether the cationic analog (KrF) is likely to have a stronger bond.

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

The MO diagrams of KrBr, XeCl, and XeBr are shown below.

They are similar, except for the numbering of the valence shell orbitals.

Also, I have drawn the s and p orbitals at the same energy levels for both atoms in the compounds. That is obviously not the case.

However, the MO diagrams are approximately correct.

The ground state electron configuration of KrF is

(1\sigma_{g})^{2}\, (1\sigma_{u}^{*})^{2} \, (2\sigma_{g})^{2} \, (2\sigma_{u}^{*})^{2} \, (3\sigma_{g})^{2} \,  (1\pi_{u})^{4} \, (1\pi_{g}^{*})^{4} \, (3\sigma_{g}^{*})^{1}

KrF⁺ will have one less electron than KrF.

You remove the antibonding electron from the highest energy orbital, so the bond order increases.

The KrF bond will be stronger.

Answer:

I don't know if this is right but try it. The amount of water vapor in the air is called absolute humidity. The amount of water vapor in the air as compared with the amount of water that the air could hold is called relative humidity. This amount of space in air that can hold water changes depending on the temperature and pressure.

The lowest possible concentration of free hydrogen ions is represented by a ph value of
spayn [35]
PH is the logarithmic measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution. In an aqueous system, the lowest possible concentration of H+ ions (least acidic) is 1x 10^-14. The -log(1x10^-14) = pH of 14

What is the volume of a sample if the density is 2.35 g/mL and the mass is 33.67 g?
lawyer [7]
  • Density=2.35g/mL
  • Mass=33.67g

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=\dfrac{Mass}{Density}

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=\dfrac{33.67}{2.35}

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=14.32mL
