When two hydrogen atoms bond with one oxygen Atom to form water what happens to the electrons

1 answer:

5 0

<span>Most bonds are made when a positive atom or molecule (one that is missing an electron in its outer shell) accepts an electron from a negative atom or molecule. Hydrogen is a positive ion because it only has one electron in its outer shell instead of a pair. Oxygen has paired electrons, but because it is highly electronegative one of the outer electrons is held closer to the nucleus, creating a partial negative charge. This partial negative charge attracts the electron in the outer shell of hydrogen and creates a bond. This type of bond accounts for the high surface tension in water.</span>

How many ants would 6 giant anteaters need to eat in one year to get the matter and energy they need? Write a simple formula to

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

180,000 ants

Explanation:

For this problem we can create the following simple formula to solve this problem...

f(x) = 6x

where the variable x represents the number of ants that a single Anteater needs to eat per day. After a quick online search we can see that a single Anteater eats roughly 30,000 ants per day. If we use this value and plug it into the simple formula we can get the total number of ants 6 anteaters need to eat to survive.

f(x) = 6 * 30,000

f(x) = 180,000

Which too factors determine whether a collision between two reactant molecules will result in a reaction? select all that apply.

stepan [7]

Answer:

The particles must be in the correct orientation upon impact.

The particles must collide with enough energy to meet the activation energy of the reaction.

Explanation:

This a problem related to chemical kinetics. The collision theory is one of the theories of reaction rates and it perfectly explains how the effectiveness of colliding molecules dictates the pace of a reaction.

For reactions to occur, there must be collisions between reacting particles. It implies that the collision per unit time and how successful collisions are determines the rate of chemical reactions in most cases. Therefore, for a collision to be successful, colliding particle must have enough energy which is greater than the activation energy of the reaction. In order to also produce the desired products, the colliding particles must be properly oriented.

Classify the following as Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, or Lewis acid-base reactions. A reaction may fit all, two, one, or none of

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

I. Lewis acid-base reaction

II. Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, and Lewis' acid-base reaction

III. Brønsted-Lowry and Lewis'acid-base reaction

IV. Lewis acid-base reaction

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius, an acid is a substance that dissolves in water to produce H+ ions, and a base is a substance that dissolves in water to produce hydroxide (OH−) ions.

In the reaction below, AH is an avid, BOH is a base reacting together to form a salt(A-B+) and water only.

AH + BOH ---> A-B+ + H2O

According to Brønsted-Lowry definition, an acid is any substance that can donate a proton, and a base is any substance that can accept a proton.

In the reaction below, AH is an acid while B is a base, reacting together to form an acid-base conjugate pair.

AH + B <-----> BH+ + A-

According to Lewis' definition, an acid is a species that accepts an electron pair while a base donates an electron pair resulting in a coordinate covalently bonded compound, also known as an adduct. In the reaction below, A+ is an acid, B- is a base, reacting together to form product A-B.

A+ + B- ------> A-B

Considering the above definitions;

I. Cu²+ + 4 Cl− ---> CuCl4²− is a Lewis acid-base reaction because it involves electron sharing only.

II. Al(OH)3 + 3HNO3 ---> Al3+ + 3H2O + 3 NO3− is an Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, and a Lewis acid-base reaction because it involves protons, electrons and hydroxide ions.

III. N2 + 3 H2 ---> 2NH3 is a Lewis acid-base reaction because it involves sharing of electrons only.

IV. CN− + H2O ---> HCN + OH is both a Lewis and Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction because both protons and electrons sharing is involved.
