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.

A student wants to remove the salt from a mixture of sand and salt in order to get only pure sand. He adds water to the mixture.

raketka [301]

Answer:

Here is one way: Add water to the mixture. Only the sugar dissolves. This is a physical change.

Explanation:

The sugar would dissolve in water. You could then pour off the solution and wash the remaining sand with a bit more water. Heat the water to evaporate it from the sugar, and the two are separated.

How does the law of conservation of mass relate to the number of atoms of each element that are present before a reaction vs. th

TiliK225 [7]

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity cannot be added nor removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is conserved over time.

The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction. Thus, during any chemical reaction and low-energy thermodynamic processes in an isolated system, the total mass of the reactants, or starting materials, must be equal to the mass of the products.

According to the Law of Conservation, all atoms of the reactant(s) must equal the atoms of the product(s).
As a result, we need to balance chemical equations. We do this by adding in coefficients to the reactants and/or products. The compound(s) itself/themselves DOES NOT CHANGE.

Solution of the Schrödinger wave equation for the hydrogen atom results in a set of functions (orbitals) that describe the behav

kvv77 [185]

Answer :

'n' specifies → (B) The energy and average distance from the nucleus.

'l' specifies → (C) The subshell orbital shape.

'ml' specifies → (A) The orbital orientation.

Explanation :

Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....

Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

Magnetic Quantum Number : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as $m_l$ . The value of this quantum number ranges from $(-l\text{ to }+l)$ . When l = 2, the value of

Spin Quantum number : It describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as $m_s$ . The value of this is $+\frac{1}{2}$ for upward spin and $-\frac{1}{2}$ for downward spin.

As per question we conclude that,

'n' specifies → The energy and average distance from the nucleus.

'l' specifies → The subshell orbital shape.

'ml' specifies → The orbital orientation.

Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by Si and O? silicon dioxide silicon trioxygen disilicon dioxygen monosil

Flauer [41]

The correct is tricky, be careful. The right is silicon dioxyde (SiO2)

Silicon Oxides are written in the form SiOx, (0 <x <2), so:

there is no silicon trioxygen and disilicon dioxygen.

SiO is called silicon monoxide and not monosiicon oxygen, so this proposition is false.

All that remains is the silicon dioxide (SiO2) that is written correctly.

Silicon dioxide can be synthesized but also exists in abundance in nature. Silicon (Si) represents about 26% of the Earth's crust. Silica (SiO2), the natural form of silicon dioxide, accounts for about 60%.

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does 1 H+ isotope contain

nlexa [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

H+ contains 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 0 electrons.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
Atoms are made of sub-atomic particles neutrons and protons found in the nucleus and electrons found in the energy levels.
A hydrogen atom contains 1 proton and 0 neutrons in the nucleus and 1 electron in the energy levels.
A hydrogen atom loses an electron to form an ion with 1 proton, 0 neutron and 0 electron.
