Which electron has a higher probability of being found at 4 Å of the nucleus, one in a 2s orbital or one in a 2p orbital?

Chemistry

Lena [83]3 years ago

Answer:

one in a 2s orbital

Explanation:

Because of the peak near the nucleus in the 2s curve there is a higher probability of finding a 2s within 4 Å of the nucleus. In a multi-electron atom an electron in a 2s orbital will have a lower energy than one in a 2p orbital

Answer:

<h3>1)</h3>

Structure One:

  • N: -2
  • C: 0
  • O: +1

Structure Two:

  • N: 0
  • C: 0
  • O: -1

Structure Three:

  • N: -1
  • C: 0
  • O: 0.

Structure Number Two would likely be the most stable structure.

<h3>2)</h3>
  • All five C atoms: 0
  • All six H atoms to C: 0
  • N atom: +1.

The N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion. See explanation.

Explanation:

When calculating the formal charge for an atom, the assumption is that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally between the two bonding atoms. The formula for the formal charge of an atom can be written as:

\text{Formal Charge} \\ = \text{Number of Valence Electrons in Element} \\ \phantom{=}-\text{Number of Chemical Bonds} \\\phantom{=} - \text{Number of nonbonding Lone Pair Electrons}.

For example, for the N atom in structure one of the first question,

  • N is in IUPAC group 15. There are 15 - 10 = 5 valence electrons on N.
  • This N atom is connected to only 1 chemical bond.
  • There are three pairs, or 6 electrons that aren't in a chemical bond.

The formal charge of this N atom will be 5 - 1 - 6 = -2.

Apply this rule to the other atoms. Note that a double bond counts as two bonds while a triple bond counts as three.

<h3>1)</h3>

Structure One:

  • N: -2
  • C: 0
  • O: +1

Structure Two:

  • N: 0
  • C: 0
  • O: -1

Structure Three:

  • N: -1
  • C: 0
  • O: 0.

In general, the formal charge on all atoms in a molecule or an ion shall be as close to zero as possible. That rules out Structure number one.

Additionally, if there is a negative charge on one of the atoms, that atom shall preferably be the most electronegative one in the entire molecule. O is more electronegative than N. Structure two will likely be favored over structure three.

<h3>2)</h3>

Similarly,

  • All five C atoms: 0
  • All six H atoms to C: 0
  • N atom: +1.

Assuming that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally (which is likely not the case,) the nitrogen atom in this molecule will carry a positive charge. By that assumption, it would attract an anion.

Note that in reality this assumption seldom holds. In this ion, the N-H bond is highly polarized such that the partial positive charge is mostly located on the H atom bonded to the N atom. This example shows how the formal charge assumption might give misleading information. However, for the sake of this particular problem, the N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion.

Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Fe(CN)₂,  FeCO₃,  Pb(CN)₄,  Pb(CO₃)₂

Explanation:

Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.

1.) Fe(CN)₂
-----> Fe²⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0

2.) FeCO₃

-----> Fe²⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +2 + (-2) = 0

3.)  Pb(CN)₄

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +4 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0

4.) Pb(CO₃)₂

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +4 +(-2) + (-2) = 0

Explain a polar molecules and give examples​
ivanzaharov [21]
Ethanol is polar because the oxygen atoms attract electrons because of their higher electronegativity than other atoms in the molecule. Thus the -OH group in ethanol has a slight negative charge. Ammonia (NH3) is polar. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is polar.
