The molecule BH3 is trigonal planar, with B in the center and H in the three vertices. Ther are no free electrons. All the valence electrons are paired in and forming bonds.
There are four kind of intermolecular attractions: ionic, hydrogen bonds, polar and dispersion forces.
B and H have very similar electronegativities, Boron's electronegativity is 2.0 and Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.0.
The basis of ionic compounds are ions and the basis of polar compounds are dipoles.
The very similar electronegativities means that B and H will not form either ions or dipoles. So, that discards the possibility of finding ionic or polar interactions.
Regarding, hydrogen bonds, that only happens when hydrogen bonds to O, N or F atoms. This is not the case, so you are sure that there are not hydrogen bonds.
When this is the case, the only intermolecular force is dispersion interaction, which present in all molecules.
Then, the answer is dispersion interaction.
Correct Answer: option <span>(1) Mn(s)
Reason:
The </span><span>spontaneity of electrochemical cell, depends on the it's Eo value. Electrochemical cells with positve Eo are spontanous and vice-versa.
</span>
In present case, the Eo of half-cell of interest are as follows:
Eo Zn2+/Zn = <span>-0.763v
</span>Eo Mg2+/Mg = 2.37v
Eo Mn2+/Mn = -1.18v
Therefore, Eo cell (with Zn as one of the half-cell) = Eo Zn2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn
= -0.763 - (-1.18)
= 0.417v
On other hand, Eo cell (with Mg as one of the half-cell) = Eo Mg2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn
= -2.37 - (-1.18)
= -1.19v
Thus, Mn(s) <span>metal will spontaneously react with Zn2+(aq), but will not spontaneously react with Mg2+(aq)</span>
You are given a galvanic cell consists of a Ni²⁺/ Ni half-cell and a standard hydrogen electrode. Also, you are given that the half cell Ni²⁺/ Ni will act as an anode, and the standard cell potential is 0.26V. You are asked to find the standard reduction potential for the half cell Ni²⁺/ Ni.
You will have a half - reaction for both nickel and hydrogen
The conversion of the symbol Ni²⁺/ Ni half-cell is
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Ni (s) E = 0.26V
and the conversion of the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂ (g) E = 0V
Since H⁺ ions is a it difficult to set up during the process, nickel will be deposited at the cathode side instead of the anode. Therefore, The standard electron potential of the nickel will have -0.26V.
