Electron density is the measure of theprobability of an electron being present at a specific location.

In molecules, regions of electron density are usually found around the atom, and its bonds. In de-localized orconjugated systems, such as phenol,benzene and compounds such as hemoglobin and chlorophyll, the electron density covers an entire region, i.e., in benzene they are found above and below the planar ring. This is sometimes shown diagrammatically as a series of alternating single and double bonds. In the case of phenol and benzene, a circle inside a hexagon shows the de-localized nature of the compound.

What kind of orbital is occupied by the lone pair electrons in caffeine molecule?

Nataly [62]

The middle nitrogen has two sigma bonds and one pi bond. You know that one p orbital is used in the double bond and two sp2 orbitals are involved in the sigma bond. This leaves one sp2 orbital for the lone pair to occupy.

The lowest value of the henry's law for methane gas (ch4) will be obtained with __________ as the solvent and a temperature of _

NikAS [45]

The lowest value of the henry's law for methane gas (CH₄) will be obtained with H₂O as the solvent and a temperature of 349 K.

Henry's law: This law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas that in equilibrium with that liquid.

Mathematically it can be written as:

$C_{g}=k\times P_{g}$
