Why does carbon have the ability to form multiple bonds?

1 answer:

7 0

Carbon has the ability to form multiple bonds because it has four valence electrons. Having four valence electrons means that carbon has a lot of space to form bonds with other atoms, or multiple bonds, in order to reach the full octet.

Hope this helps!! :)

How many moles are there in 2.30 x 1024 atoms of silver?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Step 1 should be convert atoms to moles (n). Step 2 should be convert moles (n) to mass (m).

Step 1

Use dimensional analysis to convert the number of atoms to moles.

1 mole atoms = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

n(Ag) = 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms × (1 mol Ag/6.022 × 10²³ Ag atoms) = 3.8193 mol Ag

Step 2

Convert the moles of Ag to mass.

mass (m) = moles (n) × molar mass (M)

n(Ag) = 3.8193 mol Ag

M(Ag) = atomic weight on the periodic table in g/mol = 107.868 g Ag/mol Ag

m(Ag) = 3.8193 mol × 107.868 g/mol = 412 g Ag = 410 g Ag rounded to two significant figures

The mass of 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms is approximately 410 g.

Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How many grams of a 150 g sample would you have after 120.5 days?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234 would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now we start with 150 grams of Thorium-234

$150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1$

$75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2$

$34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3$

$17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4$

$8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5$

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

$A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}$

Where

$A_0$ is the initial sample amount

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.

What is the wavelength (in nm) of the least energetic spectral line in the visible series of the H atom?

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Brackett Series (n = 4)

Explanation:

The least energetic line of Hydrogen atom lies in <em>Brackett Series </em>when n = 4 because these are least energetic, have longer wavelengths and lies in Infrared region of spectrum. No traces of <em>Pfund series </em>are formed by H=atoms.
