Identify the dominant intermolecular attraction in bh3.

Chemistry

k0ka [10]3 years ago
6 0
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.

How many moles of hydrogen molecules (h2) are present in 9 x 1023 molecules of hydrogen?
Marta_Voda [28]
Hello

So the molar mass of a Hydrogen molecule is 2. If you have 10 grams of Hydrogen molecules, you have 5 moles<span> of Hydrogen molecules (10 moles of Hydrogen atoms). Avogadro's number is 6.0225x10^23. This means that </span>one mole<span> of a substance has that many particles.

in a mixture of 1.90 mol of gas, 0.85 mol are nitrogen (n2) molecules. what is the mole fraction of n2 in this mixture?
Nostrana [21]

0.447 is the mole fraction of Nitrogen in this mixture.

mole fraction of nitrogen= moles of nitrogen/total moles

mole fraction of nitrogen=0.85/1.90

mole fraction of nitrogen=0.447

The product of the moles of a component and the total moles of the solution yields a mole fraction, which is a unit of concentration measurement. Because it is a ratio, mole fraction is a unitless statement. The sum of the components of the mole fraction of a solution is one. In a mixture of 1 mol benzene, 2 mol carbon tetrachloride, and 7 mol acetone, the mole fraction of the acetone is 0.7. This is computed by dividing the sum of the moles of acetone in the solution by the total number of moles of the solution's constituents:
