According to valence bond theory, which orbitals overlap in the formation of the bond in HCl?

1 answer:

5 0

A) 1s on H and 3p on Cl

In HCl, the H atom has only one valance electron. Each share an electron an therefore a single covalent bond is formed between the two. The bond in HCl is therefore a result of an overlap between 1s orbital and ONLY ONE of the lobes of the 3p orbital of Chlorine.

Arrange these molecules in order of decreasing mass: C6H14 , NO2 , Fe2O3 , and CaCO

babunello [35]

The following is the arrangement of the given molecules in decreasing order of mass: $\text{ Fe2O3} > \text{C6H14} > \text{CaCO} > \text{NO2}$

Solution:

First inorder to arrange the elements in descending order of their mass we have to calculate the molecular mass of each element. The calculation is as follows:

Mass of C6H14:

$C\rightarrow6\times12.01 = 72.06$
