We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent the scenario is,

<span>                                       x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>

<span>                                       <em> </em><span><em>x = 3.575 g</em></span></span>

Fudgin [204]

The electron configuration filling patterns of some elements in group 6b(6) and group 1b(11) reflect the increasing stability of half-filled and completely filled sublevels.

<h2>What is electronic configuration?</h2>

The distribution of electrons in an element's atomic orbitals is described by the element's electron configuration. Atomic subshells that contain electrons are placed in a series, and the number of electrons that each one of them holds is indicated in superscript for all atomic electron configurations. For instance, sodium's electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s1.

Almost all of the elements write their electronic configurations in the same style. When the energies of two subshells differ, an electron from the lower energy subshell occasionally goes to the higher energy subshell.

This is due to two factors:

Symmetrical distribution: As is well known, stability is a result of symmetry. Because of the symmetrical distribution of electrons, orbitals where the sub-shell is exactly half-full or totally filled are more stable.

Energy exchange: The electrons in degenerate orbitals have a parallel spin and are prone to shifting positions. The energy released during this process is simply referred to as exchange energy. The greatest number of exchanges occurs when the orbitals are half- or fully-filled. Its stability is therefore at its highest.

Can one mole of peas fit inside your house? List the materials and steps of an experiment that answers the
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

No, one mole of peas do not fit inside a house because one mole is equals to 6.022 × 10²³ units which is a very large value. mole only use for atoms, ions and molecules etc due to very small size but mole is not used for big sized materials such as peas and other vegetables etc. So that's why we can conclude that one mole of peas did not fit inside a house.

Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole
icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

  • Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
  • Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
  • First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
  • Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
  • Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
  • Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.
