Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is a liquid at room temperature. The normal boiling point is 125°C, and the melting point is –45.5°C. C
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:  The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -

        CO_{2}< CS_{2} < CSe_{2}

The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.

This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.

And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.

A neutral atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 would most likely form a bond with an atom having the configuration
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.

Explanation:

Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.

The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.

But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.

So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.

How many moles of water are in a beaker with 50 mL?
tatiyna

Answer:

Number of moles = 2.8 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of water = ?

Volume of water = 50 mL

Density of water = 1.00 g/cm³

Solution:

1 cm³ =  1 mL

Density = mass/ volume

1.00 g/mL = mass/ 50 mL

Mass = 1.00 g/mL× 50 mL

Mass = 50 g

Number of moles of water:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 50 g / 18 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.8 mol
