What is the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital in F2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Juliette [100K]3 years ago
7 0

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.

a nuclide of 64/29 cu absorbs a positron. witch is the resulting atom? (A) 65/29Cu (B) 63/29 CU (C) 64/28Ni (D) 64/30 Zn
Nesterboy [21]

Answer : Option D) Zn^{64}_{30}

Explanation : When a positron is getting absorbed it means it will be e^{+1}_{0} so, the Cu^{64}_{29} will get converted;

So, the whole reaction will be;

Cu^{64}_{29} + e^{+1}_{0} ----> Zn^{64}_{30}.

This will convert the whole element of Cu will get changed into Zn. As, it absorbs by the positron, the atomic number gets increased from 29 to 30.

What is the covalent bond for Hydrogen + Chlorine (HCI)
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

HCl, also known as hydrochloric acid, has a covalent bond. The hydrogen (H) atom shares an electron with the chlorine (Cl) to form the bond.

Explanation:

Consequently, the bonding electrons in hydrogen chloride are shared unequally in a polar covalent bond. The molecule is represented by the conventional Lewis structure, even though the shared electron pair is associated to a larger extent with chlorine than with hydrogen.
