Using molecular orbital theory, explain why the removal of one electron in O2 strengthens bonding, while the removal of one elec

First you have a knowledge of bond order which is
 B.O=(no. of electrons in bonding orbital - no. of electrons in non-bonding orbital)÷2  
Note:
bond strength is directly proportional to bond order.
For oxygen:
B.O=(6-2)/2= 2; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from non-bonding orbital)
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3 (As B.O increased bond strength increased)
For Nitrogen:
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from bonding orbital)
B.O=(4-0)/2= 2 (As B.O decreased bond strength decreased)

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a body of mass 1 kg moving with a velocity of
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

4.42 × 10⁻³⁷ m

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Mass of the body (m): 1 kg
  • Velocity of the body (v): 1500 m/s
  • Planck's constant (h): 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Step 2: Calculate the de Broglie wavelenght (λ) of the body

We will use de Broglie's equation.

λ = h / m × v

λ = (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s) / 1 kg × (1500 m/s) = 4.42 × 10⁻³⁷ m

Mass defect is associated with: nuclear fusion nuclear fission radioactive decay mass lost by nuclear collisions
Kay [80]
I would say mass lost by nuclear collisions. The mass defect is the mass difference between the mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the mass of its constituent particles. It equals the energy given off in the formation of the nucleus.

Nitrogen (N) has an atomic number of 7 and an atomic mass of 14. Which of the following correctly shows the electron arrangement
adell [148]

7 protons means that N atom has 7 electrons

1st level can have only 2 e⁻, and we have left over of 7-2=5 e⁻, that will go on the second level.
