In which cases do you expect deviations from the idealized bond angle?

Answer:

Since PF3 and SBr2 both have lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, their bond angles should deviate from the idealized bond angle as lone pairs are more repulsive than bonding pairs of electrons. Large atoms, such as Cl or Br, will cause bond angles to deviate from the ideal, and the presence of a multiple bond will cause a deviation as well owing to the increased electron density, so CH3Br should deviate from the idealized bond angle. BCl3 has identical atoms symmetrically surrounding a central atom with no lone pairs on it, so BCl3 should not deviate from the idealized bond angle.

What is the difference between an orbit in the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom and an orbital in the quantum mechanical model

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In Bohr's theory, electrons are found in specific regions in space called orbits. These orbits are also called energy levels. An electron may move from one energy level to another by absorbing or emitting energy.

In the wave mechanical model, electrons are not found in a particular region in space according to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

We rather define a certain region in space where there is a high probability of locating the electron. This region in space where there is a high probability of locating the electron is called an orbital.

Hence, in the Bohr's model of the atom,electrons can surely be found in orbits while in the wave mechanical model, the orbital is a probability function that describes a region in space where an electron may be found.

For the reaction 2H2O > 2H2 + O2 what is the total number of moles of O2 produced from the complete decomposition of 8 moles

LekaFEV [45]

Answer: Option C) 4 moles

Explanation:

The reaction below shows the decomposition of 2 moles of water to yeild 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen respectively.

2H2O(l) --> 2H2(g) + O2 (g)

So, if 2 moles of H2O produce 1 mole of O2

8 moles of H2O will produce Z mole of O2

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

2 x Z = 1 x 8

2Z = 8

Z = 8/2

Z = 4

Thus, 4 moles of O2 is produced from the complete decomposition of 8 moles H2O .

Why does hydrogen fluoride have a high boiling point

mezya [45]

The intermolecular bonding for HF is van der Waals, whereas for HCL, the intermolecular bonding is hydrogen. Since the van der Waals bond is stronger than hydrogen, HF will have a higher boiling temperature. Since the covalent bond is stronger than van der Waals, HF will have a higher boiling temperature.

How many hydrogen atoms are in 3.90 mol of ammonium sulfide?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

First, the number of ammonium sulfide molecules should be calculated:

N = NA × n,

where NA - the Avogadro number, n - number of moles.

N (ammonium sulfide) = 6.022 × 1023 × 8.5 mol = 51.187 × 1023.

The moelcular formula of ammonium sulfide is (NH4)2S. It means that each molecule contains 8 hydrogen atoms.

As a result, 8.5 mol of (NH4)2S contain:

51.187 × 1023 × 8 = 41 × 1024 hydrogen atoms.

Answer: 41 × 1024 hydrogen atoms
