Answer:
Bonding Order = number of bonding electrons – number of antibonding electrons/2.
So for CO2, there is a total of 16 electrons, 8 of which are antibonding electrons.
So 16 – 8 = 8; divided by 2 = 4. So, 4 is the bonding order of CO2. The molecular structure of CO2 looks like this:
..~-~~..
O=C=O

I believe it can be warm because usually the surface below us is warm itself, causing the air to be warm as well. The temperature can vary as well
The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.
Answer:
Oxygen
Explanation:
If two balloons are filled with hydrogen gas and helium gas respectively, then we want to identify what gas is in each balloon, we have to do so by exposing the both balloons to flame in an oxygen atmosphere.
Hydrogen combines with oxygen in the presence of a flame with quite a loud sound and the flame is sustained but when a flame is brought near helium gas in a balloon, the gas will only make a little sound when exposed to the flame and extinguish the flame.
The reason for the explosion of the gas in the hydrogen balloon is that combustion of hydrogen gas is exothermic. The heating up of surrounding air molecules leads to a sudden explosion.
However, the helium balloon makes a little sound when the balloon is ruptured releasing helium gas which extinguishes the flame.
The coefficient for hydrogen in the balanced equation of solid molybdenum(iV) oxide with gaseous hydrogen is 2
Explanation
Coefficient is defined to as a number in front of a chemical formula in a balanced chemical equation.
The reaction of molybdenum (iv) oxide with gaseous hydrogen is as below,
MoO2 + 2 H2→ Mo +2 H2O
From balanced equation above the coefficient for H2 is 2 since the number in front of H2 is 2
