What structural formula represents 4 electrons shared between two atoms?

1 answer:

4 0

Sharing of 4 electrons between two atoms results in two double bonds. This can be see in the case of oxygen molecule (O2)

Atomic number of O = 8

Electron configuration of O = 1s²2s²2p⁴

Valence electron configuration: 2s²2p⁴

When 2 O atoms combine they share 4 electrons to form 2 double bonds. In addition, there are two lone pairs on each O atom.

Structural formula: O=O

If atoms [Blank] energy during a change of state, they are pulled together by attractive forces and become more organized.

Rainbow [258]

If atoms lose , they become more organized.
When energy is removed from a given amount of atoms, they enter a more organized state because their attractive forces overcome their repulsive forces, which causes them to come closer. This is observed when a gas is condensed to a liquid, and then also when a liquid freezes into a solid. This moving closer also limits the motion of the particles.

Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that $F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2}$ so if we double the charge on $Q_1$ and double the distance to $(2d)$ we plug these into the equation to find

<span> $F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}$ </span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be $\frac{1}{2}F$ if I can remember my physics correctly.
