What would happen if you left your dichloromethane/ethanol solvent mixtures uncovered?

1 answer:

3 0

Dichloromethane/ethanol solvent mixtures are substances composed of compounds that has a very high volatility. The higher the volatility of the substances, the faster it is for them to vaporized.

If we leave the solution or the mixture uncovered then, it is easier for the vapors produced to escape the system to the atmosphere.

Why is it difficult to accurately represent ammonia and methane on paper?

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is because the molecular structure.

Explanation:

The difficulty of ammonia and methane to be represented on paper is due to the molecular structure. These compounds have a three-dimensional projection with defined angles. Ammonia presents angles of 109.5º between the atom of Nitrogen and those of Oxygen. The ammonia presents 107.8º between the oxygen atoms.

In the methane molecule, there is 109.5º between the hydrogen molecules and the carbon atom. This results in the need for a 3D representation of the molecule.

SeF6 1. Lewis Structure 2. Perspective drawing 3. Number of atoms bonded to central atom 4. Number of non-bonding electron pairs

Anarel [89]

The answer is- $SF_{6}$ is octahedral in electronic and molecular geometry with 6 Fluorine atoms bonded to central atom S.

Lewis structures are the diagrams in which the valence electrons of the atoms of a compound are arranged around the atoms showing the bonding between the atom and the lone pair of electrons existing in the molecule.

Determine the molecular geometry of $SF_{6}$ .

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory is commonly known as VSEPR theory and it helps to predict the geometry of molecules.
According to this theory, electrons are arranged around the central atom of the molecule in such a way that there is minimum electrostatic repulsion between these electrons.
Now, calculate the total number of valence electrons in $SF_{6}$ .

$Valence\ electrons\ in\ SF_{6}= Valence\ electrons\ in\ S +\ 6(Valence\ electrons\ in\ F)$

Valence electrons of S = 6

Valence electrons of F = 7

Thus, the valence electrons in $SF_{6}$ are-

$Valence\ number\ of\ electrons\ in\ SF_{6} = (6) + 6(7) = 48\ electrons.$

The Lewis structure of $SF_{6}$ is - (Image attached).
In the structure, the number of atoms bonded to central atom (S) = 6.
Number of non-bonding electron pairs on the central atom = 0 (as all the valence electrons are bonded to F).
Electronic geometry in case of 6 bond pairs is octahedral.
Molecular geometry us also octahedral with bond angles 90°.
Central atom is sp3d2 hybridised.
$SF_{6}$ is a non-polar molecule.

Which of the following statements explains why atoms are always neutral in charge

laila [671]

Answer:

D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.
