C) $\text{LiBr}_{3}$

Explanations

Approach A: Comparison of the bonding atoms

What element(s) does each species comprise?

carbon monoxide- one metalloid, carbon, bonded to one nonmetal
oxygen- one nonmetal
lithium bromide- one metal and one nonmetal
ammonia- two nonmetals

Lithium bromide $\text{LiBr}_{3}$ is the only substance that features a metal element bonded to a nonmetal element among all four species in the list. It takes significant differences in electronegativity for the bonding atoms in a binary compound to ionize and form an ionic compound. Therefore the species in question shall contain at least one metal element bonded to one nonmetal.

Approach B: Comparison of melting points

Recall the physical state of the species under room temperature and pressure:

carbon monoxide- gas
oxygen- gas
lithium bromide- ?
ammonia- gas

Ionic bonds hold ions in an ionic compound in place with great degrees of rigidity. In contrast, covalent molecules adhere to each other with intermolecular interactions that are weaker by magnitudes. It's unlikely for ionic crystals to behave as gases under standard conditions. Thus A, B, D cannot be ionic compounds.

At STP how many molecules of nitrogen gas are in 224 L?

NeTakaya

Answer:

6.022×10²² molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of nitrogen = 224 L

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Temperature = standard = 273 K

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

PV = nRT

1 atm × 224 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273 K

224 atm.L = n ×22.41 atm.L/mol

n = 224 atm.L/22.41 atm.L/mol

n = 10 mol

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ molecules

10 mol×6.022×10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

60.22×10²³ molecules

6.022×10²² molecules

Which of the following is true concerning ψ²? A) ψ² describes the probability of finding an electron in space. B) ψ² describes t

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A) ψ² describes the probability of finding an electron in space.

Explanation:

The Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger formulated an equation that describes the behavior and energies of submicroscopic particles in general.

The Schrödinger equation incorporates both particle behavior, in terms of mass m, and wave behavior, in terms of a wave function ψ, which depends on the location in space of the system (such as an electron in an atom).

The probability of finding the electron in a certain region in space is proportional to the square of the wave function, ψ². According to wave theory, the intensity of light is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave, or ψ². The most likely place to find a photon is where the intensity is greatest, that is, where the value of ψ² is greatest. A similar argument associates ψ² with the likelihood of finding an electron in regions surrounding the nucleus.

4. Arrange the following substances in order of increasing boiling point: CH3CH2OH, HOCH2CH2OH, CH3CH2Cl , and ClCH2CH2OH A. CH3

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A molecules that will have more number of hydrogen bonding will has highest boiling point because to break the hydrogen bonds high heat needs to be provided.

So, in the molecule $HOCH_{2}CH_{2}OH$ there is presence of two alcoholic groups. Hence, it will have strongest hydrogen bonding as compared to the rest of molecules.

In the molecule $ClCH_{2}CH_{2}OH$ there will be hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions. Hence, it boiling point will be slightly less than $HOCH_{2}CH_{2}OH$ .

In the molecule $CH_{3}CH_{2}OH$ , there will be only hydrogen bonding. Hence, its boiling point is less than $ClCH_{2}CH_{2}OH$ .

In the molecule $CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl$ , there is no hydrogen bonding but there will be only dipole-dipole interactions. Hence, its boiling point will be the least.

Therefore, we can conclude that increasing order of boiling point will be as follows.

$CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl$ < $CH_{3}CH_{2}OH$ < $ClCH_{2}CH_{2}OH$ < $HOCH_{2}CH_{2}OH$
