Answer:

Carbon Dioxide is an Infrared Radiation Absorber. The (CO2) molecules also emits the absorbed infrared (IR) radiation energy. The photon energy from the infrared radiation causes the CO2 molecule to vibrate. Only some of its vibrational modes absorb infrared radiation

Explanation:

Its linear structure is considered when working with the formula to calculate the number of molecular vibrational modes. It has 3n - 4 vibrational modes, where n is the number of atoms in a compound of CO2

With 3 atoms, CO2 has

3n−5=4 types or patterns of vibration

1. The symmetric stretch

2. The asymmetric stretch

3. The bend

The symmetric stretch vibrational mode is ir-inactive.

The asymmetric stretch is ir-active as it results in changes in dipole moment

The bend is ir-active as well as it results in a change in dipole moment too.

What is an isotope and how does their abundance in nature differ from element to element
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

isotopes, there elements with a diffrent type atomic weight then the original, usally due to a higher amout of neutrons than the original. Some Isotopes are just as useable as the normal versions, but in some cases, such as Uranium, they can be even more radioactive than the original form

Which of the following atoms could have an expanded octet when it is the central atom in a covalent compound?a) B
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

only chlorine can expand its octet.

Explanation:

An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital

the electronic configuration of given elements will be:

B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell

Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.
