Which atomic orbitals overlap to form the carbon-carbon σ and π bonding molecular orbitals of ethene, H2C=CH2?

Chemistry

Zanzabum3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

σ -> 2sp²

π -> 2p

Explanation:

The carbon has valence shell 2s 2p, and, both of them make 3 σ bonds and 1 π bond. The π bond only occurs in multiple bonds.

The σ bonds happen at the hybrids orbitals, which are orbitals formed by the association of the pure orbitals (s, p, d, f). The hybridization occurs to make possible to the atom to do the bonds because the electrons need to be isolated in it.

On the other hand, the π bonds only occur at pure orbitals. The subshell s only has 1 orbital, and the subshell p has 3 orbitals. So, because there are 3 σ bonds, it's necessary 3 hybrids orbitals (1 of s + 2 of p).

The σ bonds happen at the orbital 2sp² and the π bond at the 2p pure orbital.

How many moles of helium gas are contained in a 4.0 L flask at STP
Ratling [72]
First, you convert liters to moles. 
Usually you have to go to grams but this is STP.

Get moles directly by dividing the 4 by STP (22.4)
\frac{4}{22.4} =0.17857142857
About 1.8*10^{-1} or 0.18 moles whichever your teacher prefers

How many chiral centers does clavulanic acid have?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Clavulanic acid has two (2) chiral centers.

Explanation:

A chiral center is a center (usually carbon) with four different substituents.

The structure of clavulanic acid is shown in the attachment below.

Consider the labeled diagram in the attachment,

Carbon A is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it

Carbon B is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents

Carbon C is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents

Carbon D is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents

Carbon E is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it

Carbon F is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it

Carbon G is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it

Carbon H is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents

Then, only carbons C and D are chiral carbons.

Hence, clavulanic acid have two (2) chiral centers.

A container of a mixture of 4 gases has a total pressure of 35.7 kPa. Gas A has a partial pressure of 7.8kPa. Gas B has a partia
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

partial pressure of gas D Pd = 15.5 kPa

Explanation:

As per the Dalton's law of partial pressure, in a mixture, pressure exerted by each gas when summed gives the total partial pressure exerted by mixture.

P(Total) = P1+P2+P3.....

Given P(Total) = 35.7 kPa

Partial pressure of gas A Pa = 7.8 kPa

Partial pressure of gas B Pb = 3.7 kPa

Partial pressure of gas C Pc =  8.7 kPa

There, Partial pressure of gas D Pd = P(Total) -(Pa+Pb+Pc)

Pd = 35.7-(7.8+3.7+8.7) = 35.7-20.2 kPa = 15.5 kPa

Therefore, partial pressure of gas D Pd = 15.5 kPa

slava [35]
The answer 
<span>the molar ratio for the following equation 
____C3H8 + ____O2 Imported Asset ____CO2 + ____ H2O

</span>after it has been properly balanced:
__1_C3H8 + ____5O2 Imported Asset ____3CO2 + ____ 4H2O

proof:
number of C =3  (C3H8;   3CO2)
number of H =8 (C3H8 ; 4H2O)
number of O = 10(5x2) or (2x3+4)  (5O2;4H2O)

the answer is 
<span>Reactants: C3H8 = 1, O2 = 8; Products: CO2 = 3 and H2O = 4</span>
