Based on molecular orbital theory, there is/are ________ unpaired electron(s) in the of+ ion.

Chemistry

Ede4ka [16]3 years ago

Atomic number of O= 8

Atomic number of F = 9

Electron configurations:

⁸O = 1s² 2s² 2p⁴

⁹F = 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

Total electrons: 8+ 9 = 17

For OF the molecular electron configuration would be:

OF = (1σ)²(1σ*)²(2σ)²(2σ*)²(2pσ)²(2pπ)⁴(2pπ*)³

OF⁺ suggests a loss of one electron from the 2pπ* orbital leaving the configuration as:

OF⁺ = (1σ)²(1σ*)²(2σ)²(2σ*)²(2pσ)²(2pπ)⁴(2pπ*)²

Thus, based on MO theory there are two unpaired electrons in OF⁺ ion

1. Double replacement (DR)

2. Decomposition (D)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

1. Al2(SO4)3 + Ca3(PO4)2 -> 2AIPO4 + 3CaSO4

Double replacement (DR) : there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

General form :

AB + CD -> AD + CB

2.  2NaCIO3 → 2NaCl + 3O2

Decomposition (D) : Reactant breakdown into simpler ones(reverse of combination)

General form :

AB ---> A + B

Law of Conservation of Mass in terms of atoms
VARVARA [1.3K]

No atoms are lost or made during the chemical reaction so the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants. In an atom, protons and neutrons contribute to the mass and since the number of them doesn’t change, the mass doesn’t either.
