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.

Explanation:

7. What is the molar concentration of H₂C₂O₄ ?

Since we have 7.0 ml of 0.175 M H₂C₂O₄, the number of moles of H₂C₂O₄ present n = molarity of H₂C₂O₄ × volume of H₂C₂O₄ = 0.175 mol/L × 7.0 ml = 0.175 mol/L × 7 × 10⁻³ L = 1.225 × 10⁻³ mol.

Also, the total volume present V = volume of H2C2O4 + volume of water + volume of KMnO4 = 7.0 ml + 1 ml + 4 ml = 12 ml = 12 × 10⁻³ L

So, the molar concentration of H₂C₂O₄, M = number of moles of H₂C₂O₄/volume = n/V

= 1.225 × 10⁻³ mol/12 × 10⁻³ L

= 0.1021 mol/L

= 0.1021 M

8. Using the data from question 7 what is the molar concentration of KMnO₄ ?

Since we have 4.0 ml of 3.5 M KMnO₄, the number of moles of KMnO4 present n' = molarity of KMnO₄ × volume of KMnO₄ = 3.5 mol/L × 4.0 ml = 3.5 mol/L × 4 × 10⁻³ L = 14 × 10⁻³ mol.

Also, the total volume present V = volume of KMnO₄ + volume of water + volume of KMnO₄ = 7.0 ml + 1 ml + 4 ml = 12 ml = 12 × 10⁻³ L

So, the molar concentration of KMnO₄, M' = number of moles of KMnO₄/volume = n'/V

= 14 × 10⁻³ mol/12 × 10⁻³ L

= 1.167 mol/L

= 1.167 M

10. From question number 7, what effect increasing the volume of water has on the reaction rate?

Increase in volume of water would lower the rate of reaction because, the particles of both substances would have to travel farther distances to collide with each other, since there are less particles present in the solution and thus, the concentration of the particles would decrease thereby decreasing the rate of reaction.

If the molecular weight of a semiconductor is 27.9 grams/mole and the diamond lattice constant is 0.503 nm, what is the density

adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass = 27.9 g/mol

As we know that according to Avogadro's number there are $6.023 \times 10^{26}$ atom present in 1 mole. Therefore, weight of 1 atom will be as follows.
