Urea is an organic compound widely used as a fertilizer. Its solubility in water allows it to be made into aqueous fertilizer so

lutions and applied to crops in a spray. What is the maximum theoretical number of water molecules that one urea molecule can hydrogen bond with?

8 0

Answer:

8 water molecules

Explanation:

The hydrogen bond may be H-O~H-N or  H-N~H-O; in the first one, the hydrogen bond is between an oxygen atom and a hydrogen which is covalently bonded to a nitrogen atom. The second one is the hydrogen bond of a nitrogen atom with a hydrogen covalently bonded to a oxygen one. The first case would be the hydrogen bonds that water may form with the hydrogen of the urea; the second ones would be the hydrogen bonds that urea may form with water molecules. So, for each nitrogen in urea there would be a hydrogen bond, and for each hydrogen too. Finally, the oxygen in the urea molecule may form hydrogen bonds with water as well, but it has two lone pairs to donate, so the oxygen atom may form hydrogen bond with 2 water molecules:

N=(2 because of the oxygen atom of the urea)+(4 because of the hydrogen bonded to nitrogen)+2(because of the nitrogens).

N=8.

Fudgin [204]

The electron configuration filling patterns of some elements in group 6b(6) and group 1b(11) reflect the increasing stability of half-filled and completely filled sublevels.

<h2>What is electronic configuration?</h2>

The distribution of electrons in an element's atomic orbitals is described by the element's electron configuration. Atomic subshells that contain electrons are placed in a series, and the number of electrons that each one of them holds is indicated in superscript for all atomic electron configurations. For instance, sodium's electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s1.

Almost all of the elements write their electronic configurations in the same style. When the energies of two subshells differ, an electron from the lower energy subshell occasionally goes to the higher energy subshell.

This is due to two factors:

Symmetrical distribution: As is well known, stability is a result of symmetry. Because of the symmetrical distribution of electrons, orbitals where the sub-shell is exactly half-full or totally filled are more stable.

Energy exchange: The electrons in degenerate orbitals have a parallel spin and are prone to shifting positions. The energy released during this process is simply referred to as exchange energy. The greatest number of exchanges occurs when the orbitals are half- or fully-filled. Its stability is therefore at its highest.
