A Mercury(II) chloride dissolves in water to give poorly conducting solutions, indicating that the compound is largely nonionize

d in solution—it dissolves as HgCl2 molecules. Describe the bonding of the HgCl2 molecule, using valence bond theory. b Phosphorus trichloride, PCl3, is a colorless liquid with a highly irritating vapor. Describe the bonding in the PCl3 molecule, using valence bond theory. Use hybrid orbitals.

Answer:

Using valence bond theory, HgCl2 is sp hybridized while PCl3 is sp3 hybridized.

Explanation:

sp hybridized molecules are largely covalent and cannot conduct electricity hence the nonconducting nature of HgCl2. PCl3 contains a lone pair and three unpaired electrons in sp3 hybridized orbitals.

Which of the following families on the periodic table is likely to take on 2 electrons?. . . family 2. family 12. family 16. fam
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: Family 16 is most likely to accept 2 electrons.

Explanation:

Family 16 has the electronic configuration ns^{2} np^{4}. As to attain stability the p orbital will readily accept 2 electrons.

Therefore, family 16 is most likely to accept 2 electrons. Family 16 is also known as chalcogens.

Whereas, family 2 has the electronic configuration (n-1)s^{2} ns^{2}. As the s orbital is completely filled  so there is no need to accept 2 electrons.

Family 12, and family 18 has the electronic configuration [Ar] nd^{10} ns^{2} and [He]ns^{2} np^{6} respectively.

Both family 12 and 18 has completely filled orbitals so it will not accept any electrons.

After 7.9 grams of sodium are dropped into a bathtub full of water how many grams of hydrogen gas are released
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

<em>The grams of hydrogen gas that are released is 0.343 gram</em>

Explanation:

<em>Given that:</em>

<em>2 Na + 2h₂0 ⇒ 2Na0H +N₂</em>

<em>Molecules of Na = 7.9/2.3 = 0.343 mol Na</em>

<em>Now,</em>

<em>2 molecules  of Na produces one mole h₂</em>

<em>0.343 mol of Na produce  0.343/2 = 0.1717 mol h₂</em>

<em>h2 = molecules * mw (molecular weight)  =0.1717 * 2 =0.343 grams</em>

<em>Therefore the grams of hydrogen gas released is = 0.343 grams</em>
