Answer:
The correct answers are: <u>Each oxygen of carbonate ion has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>
<u>Bond order of each carbon‑oxygen bond in the carbonate ion</u> = <u>1.33</u>
Explanation:
The carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) is an organic compound, in which a carbon atom is covalently bonded to three oxygen atoms. The net formal charge on a carbonate ion is −2.
The carbonate ion is <u>resonance stabilized</u> and has three equivalent resonating structures, which exhibits that all the three carbon-oxygen bonds in a carbonate ion are equivalent.
In the resonance hybrid of carbonate ion,<u> the negative charge is equally delocalized on all the three oxygen atoms. </u>
<u>Thus, each bonded oxygen has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>
<u />
In a carbonate ion there is one double bond oxygen (C=O) and two single bonded oxygen (C-O). Bond order of 1 C=O is 2 and bond order of C-O is 1.
∴ <u>Bond order</u> = sum of all bond orders ÷ number of bonding groups = (2+1+1) ÷ 3 = <u>1.33</u>
Answer:
An element is a pure substance as well, because if we fill up a balloon with just helium gas ,it will only contain helium atoms
"As the molecules in a sample move faster the temperature reading will be lower" is not true.
Answer is: density of the substance, energy of the substance, intermolecular bonds between particles.
Melting is a physical change (process), the same substance is present before and after the change, so chemical bonds and melting point of the substance are not changed.
Density of liquids are usually less than in solids, because atoms are further apart.
Liquids have higher energy and atoms or molecules move faster.
Intermolecular bonds are weaker in liquids.
