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.

The atomic nucleus contains?
ycow [4]
The nucleus, that dense central core of the atom, contains both protons and neutrons. Electrons are outside the nucleus in energy levels. Protons have a positive charge,neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. A neutral atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons.

Calculate the rate of dissolution (dM/dt) of relatively hydrophobic drug particles with a surface area of 2.5×103 cm2 and satura
Crank

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{1.22 mg/s}}

Explanation:

We can use the Noyes-Whitney equation to calculate the rate of dissolution.

\dfrac{\text{d}M}{\text{d}t} = \dfrac{DA(C_{s} - C)}{d}

Data:

D = 1.75 × 10⁻⁷ cm²s⁻¹

A = 2.5 × 10³ cm²

Cₛ = 0.35 mg/mL

C = 2.1 × 10⁻⁴ mg/mL

d = 1.25 µm

Calculations:

Cₛ - C = (0.35 - 2.1 × 10⁻⁴) mg·cm⁻³ = 0.350 mg·cm⁻³

d = 1.25 µm = 1.25 × 10⁻⁶ m = 1.25 × 10⁻⁴ cm

\dfrac{\text{d}M}{\text{d}t} = \dfrac{(1.75 \times 10^{-7} \text{cm}^{2}\text{s}^{-1})(2.5 \times 10^{3} \text{ cm}^{2})(0.350\text{ mg$\cdot$cm$^{-3}$})}{1.25 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}} = \textbf{1.22 mg/s}\\\\\text{The rate of dissolution is $\large \boxed{\textbf{1.22 mg/s}}$}
