How do you find the # of sigma and pi bonds using a Lewis dot structure

Every single bond is a sigma bond.

A double bond contains 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond.

A triple bond contains 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds.

For example, in acetylene, H-C≡C-H, the sigma bond is formed by the head-on overlap of two sp orbitals. The pi bonds are formed by the side-on overlap of 2p orbitals.

Explain in terns of atomic structure why barium has a lower first ionization energy than magnesium.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Barium has a greater radius than magnesium

Explanation:

Barium and magnesium are two elements which belong to the same group, group 2A. This means that the two elements have two valence electrons in their outer shell.

The difference is, however, since barium is lower in group than magnesium, it has more electron shells than magnesium and, therefore, its radius is greater. The attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electrons in barium is lower as a result, as force is inversely proportional to distance. Hence, a lower amount of energy is required to remove the valence electrons from barium.

It takes to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond

Zolol [24]

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:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of the light = 151 kJ= 151000 J (1kJ=1000J)

N= moles = 1 = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light = ?

Putting in the values:

$151000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{\lambda}$

${\lambda}=7.93\times 10^{-7}m=793nm$ $1m=10^{-9}nm$

Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 793 nm

A sample of Xe gas is observed to effuse through a pourous barrier in 4.83 minutes. Under the same conditions, the same number o

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

28.93 g/mol

Explanation:

This is an extension of Graham's Law of Effusion where $\frac{R1}{R2} = \sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}$

We're only talking about molar mass and time (t) here so we'll just concentrate on $\sqrt{\frac{M2}{M1} } = \frac{t2}{t1}$ . Notice how the molar mass and time are on the same position, recall effusion is when gas escapes from a container through a small hole. The time it takes it to leave depends on the molar mass. If the gas is heavy, like Xe, it would take a longer time (4.83 minutes). If it was light it would leave in less time, that gives us somewhat an idea what our element could be, we know that it's atleast an element before Xenon.

Let's plug everything in and solve for M2. I chose M2 to be the unknown here because it's easier to have it basically as a whole number already.

$\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } = \frac{2.29}{4.83}$

The square root is easier to deal with if you take it out in the first step, so let's remove it by squaring each side by 2, the opposite of square root essentially.

$(\sqrt{\frac{M2}{131} } )^2= (\frac{2.29}{4.83})^2$

${\frac{M2}{131} } = (0.47)^2$

${\frac{M2}{131} } = 0.22$

M2= 0.22 x 131

M2= 28.93 g/mol

Explain what the terms "Pyranose" and "Furanose" represent

Illusion [34]

Answer:

hhh

Explanation:

Pyranose is collective term for the saccharides which have chemical structure which includes six-membered ring that consists of one oxygen atom and five carbon atoms.

Furanose is collective term for carbohydrates which have chemical structure which includes five-membered ring system that consists of one oxygen atom and four carbon atoms.

Glucose exists both in pyranose and furanose form. It's structure is shown in image.
