Why is activation energy required to start some reactions?

Chemistry

maxonik [38]3 years ago
4 0
The activation energy is the minimum required energy in order to start a reaction. It is the barrier to break to enable reactants to form products. It is not important only for some reactions but to all reactions. This energy should be supplied or reached first before we observe a reaction to happen.

PH3, explain why there is a partial positive on hydrogen and partial negative on phosphorus.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.

Identify the ion ratios needed to form neutral compounds from the ions below. The metal ion (cation) is listed first, and the no
Natasha2012 [34]
To figure out the ratios of these compounds, it is important to remember that the charge of these compounds must be <em>neutral</em>.

So in order to make them neutral, you must have specific ratios:

Na^{+}: Br^{-}  =1:1; This is true because they both have a charge of magnitude of 1.

Al^{3+}: Cl^{-}=1:3; We need 3 chlorine atoms because we need to balance out the charge from the 3+ charge of aluminum - therefore since chlorine has a 1- charge, we need 3 atoms.

Mg^{2+}: O^{2-}=1:1; The charges of the magnesium (2+) are balanced with the oxygen charge (2-).

Al^{3+}: O^{2-}=2:3; This is correct because if charges are like this, you must find the least common factor in order to know the ratio. The LCF is 6, therefore, for the atom with a 3+ charge, you need 2 of them, and for the atom with a 2- charge, you need 3 of them. This keeps the charge neutral.
