Answer:
B. Lower than 100 °C because hydrogen sulfide has dipole-dipole interactions instead of hydrogen bonding.
Explanation:
Intermolecular bonds exists between seperate molecules or units. Their relative strength determines many physical properties of substances like state of matter, solubility of water, boiling point, volatility, viscosity etc. Examples are Van der waals forces, hydrogen bonds and crystal lattice forces.
In hydrogen sulfide, the intermolecular bond is a dipole-dipole attraction which is a type of van der waals attraction. It occurs as an attraction between polar molecules. These molecules line such that the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another.
In water, the intermolecular bond is hydrogen bonds in which an electrostatic attraction exists between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of a neighbouring molecule.
Based on their relative strength:
Van der Waals forces < Hydrogen bonding forces < crystal lattice
This makes water boil at a higher temperature than hydrogen sulfide.
<span>The alkali metals and hydrogen are reactive because they have only one electron to give in order to complete their valence shell. It is easier to give that one electron so when given the opportunity they will. This means they will react with anything polar or willing to take an electron.</span>
Answer:
a. There are only 5 electrons in 2p. 2p should be filled with 6 electrons prior to 3s and 3p
b. There are 8 electrons in 2p. 2p should be filled only with 6 electrons (not 8)
Explanation:
The typical electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
a. There are only 5 electrons in 2p
=> should be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2
b. There are 8 electrons in 2p
=> should be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1
Atoms 'like' to have 8 valence electrones. sodium has one electron 'in excess' and chlorine 'lacks' in one. so they just exchange :) both are happy. then the ionic bond is formed because chlorine is now charged negative (additional electron) and sodium is charged positive (gave up one electrone) - the opposite charges cause electrostatic pull. many atoms, many bonds and thats how salt is built.
