When you have a free metal ion, how do the energies of these orbitals relate to one another (are they the same, different, etc.)

Answer:

The energy of the orbitals are the same

Explanation:

For a free metal ion, all the d-orbitals are of the same energy. The five d-orbitals are said to be five fold degenerate in the free metal ion. Hence all the d-orbitals will possess the same energy irrespective of which one is first filled.

In an octahedral or tetrahedral crystal field, the d-orbitals will loose their degeneracy and become different in energy based on their orientation towards the ligands.

Evgesh-ka [11]
It mean it consisted of 1 g of lead and 0.077 g of O2.
divide these numbers by molar mas.
1/82=0.012 Pb /0.004 = 3
0.077/16= 0.004 O /0.004 =1

Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
viktelen [127]
Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.

A sample of Manganese (II) chloride has a mass of 19.8 grams before heating, and 12.6 grams after heating until all the water is
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

no. of water molecules associated to each molecule of MnCl_2 = 4

Explanation:

Mass of MnCl_2 before heating = 19.8 g

Mass of MnCl_2 after heating = 12.6 g

Difference in mass of MnCl_2 before and after heating

                                 = 19.8 - 12.6 = 7.2 g

Difference in mass corresponds to mass of water driven out.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

No. of moles of water = \frac{7.2}{18} = 0.4\ mol

Mass of MnCl_2 obtained after heating is mass of anhydrous MnCl_2.

Mass of anhydrous MnCl_2 = 12.6 g

Molar mass of MnCl_2 = 125.9 g/mol

No. of mol of anhydrous MnCl_2 = \frac{125.9}{125.9} = 0.1\ mol

so,

0.1 mol of MnCl_2 have 0.4 mol of water

1 mol of MnCl_2 will have = \frac{0.4}{0.1} =4\ mol

Hence, no. of water molecules associated to each molecule of MnCl_2 = 4
