Answer:
Colourless
Explanation:
We know that Y^3+ has the electronic configuration of;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 (the 5s and 4d levels are empty).
According to the crystal field theory, the colour of complexes result from transitions between incompletely filled d orbitals.
As a result of this, complexes with empty or completely filled d orbitals are colourless. Thus, [Y(H2O)6]3 is colourless according to the Crystal Field Theory.
The ocean absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere wherever air meets water. Wind causes waves, giving more opportunity for the water to absorb the carbon dioxide.
Answer: Number of Hydrogen Bond Acceptor atoms =
2 Number of Hydrogen Bond Donor atoms =
1Explanation: Hydrogen bond interactions are formed between those molecules which contains partial positive hydrogen atoms bonded covalently to most electronegative atoms like
Oxygen,
Nitrogen and
Fluorine.
When hydrogen is attached to Oxygen, Nitrogen or Fluorine its
electron density decreases and gets partial positive charge, this partial positive charged hydrogen atom then makes hydrogen bonding with the most electronegative element (partial negative) of neighbor molecule.
In
Acetic acid there are two oxygen atoms hence there are two most electronegative elements therefore, two Hydrogen Bond Acceptor atom and each oxygen atom can accept two hydrogen bonds.
Also, it contains only one Hydrogen atom attached to oxygen atom so it has one Hydrogen Bond Donor atom.
