Covalent compounds do not conduct electric current in a water solution well because they do not dissociate into ions.
mariarad [96]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

A covalent compound is defined as a compound formed due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

As we know that like dissolves like. So, when a covalent compound is added to water then it will not dissociate into ions. Hence, it will not dissolve due to which it will not conduct electricity.

Since, we know that electricity is the flow of ions or electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that covalent compounds do not conduct electric current in a water solution well because they do not dissociate into ions.

What is the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital in F2?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

σ*2pₓ, also called 3\sigma_{u}\text{*}

Explanation:

I have drawn the MO diagram for fluorine below.

Each F atom contributes seven valence electrons, so we fill the MOs of fluorine with 14 electrons.

We have filled the \pi \text{*2p}_{y} and \pi \text{*2p}_{z} MOs.

They are the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs).

The next unfilled level (the LUMO) is the σ*2pₓ orbital. If you use the symmetry notation, it is called the 3\sigma_{u}\text{*} orbital.

This is the orbital that fluorine uses when it acts as an electron acceptor.

This is the chemical formula for carvone (the chemical that gives spearmint its flavor): An organic chemist has determined by me
xz_007 [3.2K]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

This is the chemical formula for carvone (the chemical that gives spearmint its flavor) C_{10}H_{14}O: An organic chemist has determined by measurements that there are 27.3 moles of carbon in a sample of carvone. How many moles of oxygen are in the sample

Answer: 2.73 moles of oxygen are there in the sample.

Explanation:

The chemical formula of carvone is C_{10}H_{14}O.

This means:

When 10 moles of carbon are there in carvone , 1 mole of oxygen is there in carvone

Thus for 27.3 moles of carbon in carvone , \frac{1}{10}\times 27.3=2.73 mole of oxygen is there in carvone.

Thus 2.73 moles of oxygen are there in the sample.

Collision of which two types of plates create the deepest earthquakes? Why do you think this is?
Elis [28]

Answer:

The collision of oceanic plates and any other plates in which the oceanic plate slides beneath the other plate creates the biggest earth quakes. Most of these earth quakes occur beneath the sea or oceans and can cause volcanic eruptions as well. Tsunami is another oceanic event that occurs due to earth quakes occurring due to shifting of plates beneath the sea.
