There are 3 different possible structures (known as isomers) for a dibromoethene molecule, C2H2Br2. One of them has no net dipol
e moment, but the other two do. Draw a structure for each isomer. Include H atoms.
1 answer:
Explanation:
Compounds having same molecular formula but different structural and spatial arrangement are isomers.
Three isomers are possible for dibromomethene.
In one structure (IUPAC name: 1,1-dibromomethene), both the bromine atoms are attached to one carbon atom.
In another two structures (Cis and trans), two bromine atoms are attached to two different carbon atoms.
In Cis 1,2-dibromomethene, two bromine atoms are present on the same side.
Whereas in Cis 1,2-dibromomethene, two bromine atoms are present on the opposite side and hence, does not have net dipole moment.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :
It takes 151 kJ/mol to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Answer: 793 nm
Explanation:
The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:
where,
E = energy of the light = 151 kJ= 151000 J (1kJ=1000J)
N= moles = 1 =
h = Planck's constant =
c = speed of light =
= wavelength of light = ?
Putting in the values:
Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 793 nm
