MO Diagram of C₂⁻ is shown below,

Bond order is calculated as,

Bond Order = [# of e⁻s in BMO]-[#of e⁻s in ABMO] / 2
Where,

BMO = Bonding Molecular Orbital

ABMO = Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbital

Putting values,

Bond Order  =  [9]-[4] / 2

Bond Order  =  5 / 2

Bond Order  =  2.5

The bond order of C2− is 1/2 x [m of e- in bonding MO's - n of e- in antibonding MO's]

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

What is the bond order of C2−? express the bond order numerically?

The bond order is a measurement of the number of electrons involved in bonds between two atoms in a molecule. The higher the bond order, the stronger the chemical bond. bond order is equal to the number of bonds between two atoms.

In the case of C2 in a Covalent Bond between two atoms, a single bond has a bond order of one, a double bond has a bond order of two, a triple bond has a bond order of three, and so on

Bond order = 1/2 x [m of e- in bonding MO (Molecular Orbital)'s - n of e- in antibonding MO's]

Molecular orbital (MO) itself is a mathematical function describing the wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule. Antibonding orbital is type of molecular orbital (MO) that weakens the chemical bond between two atoms, whereas bonding orbital is used in molecular orbital (MO) theory to describe the attractive interactions between the atomic orbitals of two or more atoms in a molecule.

Thus the bond order of C2^- is 1/2 x (9-4) = 2.5

The bond order of C2− is paramagnetic because it has an odd electron

andrey2020 [161]

The options are;

A) The skater experiences acceleration both while skating in a straight line and while making her turn.

B) Because the skater does not change her direction or speed, she does not experience acceleration.

C) The skater only experiences acceleration when she is turning.

D) The skater only experiences acceleration while skating in a straight line.

Answer:

A: The skater experiences acceleration both while skating in a straight line and while making her turn

Explanation:

We are told that She speeds up on the straight portion of the rink. This means that she experienced an acceleration since the speed was not constant but gradually increasing.

Also, we are told that She slows down near each end of the rink and then turns around. This means that she reduced speed before turning and it means there was also an acceleration as well when making the turn.

Thus, she experience acceleration both in the straight line and when making turn.

Option A is correct

Write a condensed structural formula for the repeat unit of the Kevlar molecule

shusha [124]

Explanation:

Kevlar is a fiber which is used in making of bullet proof vests and armors. It is a co-polymer which is formed by condensing two organic molecules 1,4-phenylene-diamine and terephthaloyl chloride.

$NH_2C_6H_4NH_2+Cl-(CO)-C_6H_4-(CO)-Cl\xrightarrow[-2HCl]{ }$

$NH_2-C_6H_4-NH-CO-C_6H_4-COOH$

There is a very slight change in gravity at the top of a mountain. Which property would most likely be less at the top of a moun

torisob [31]

Answer:

The entity that decreases is the Weight.

Explanation:

Every object on the surface of the earth is usually pulled downwards by the action of gravity. The force or weight is W = mg

Now, the farther one gets away from the surface of the earth by climbing a mountain, the further the person is from the Earth's centre of gravity.

We know that the formula for Force of gravity away from the Earth's surface is given by;

F_g = GM1M2/r²

So the greater the distance, the lesser the gravitational force.

Now, the gravitational force equals the weight of the individual.

Thus, the entity that decreases is the Weight of the individual.

In the lab you weigh out 76.02 g of Iron (Fe). How many moles of Iron do you have in the sample. (Your answer must have a unit..

son4ous [18]

Answer:

We have 1.361 moles in the sample

Explanation:

Mass of iron = 76.02g

Molar mass of iron = 55.845 g/ mole ( This we can find in the periodic table, and menas that 1 mole of iron has a mass of 55.845 g).

To calculate the number of moles we will use following formula:

moles (n) = mass / molar mass

moles iron = 76.02g / 55.845 g/ mole

moles iron = 1.36127 moles

To use the correct number of significant digits we use the following rule for multiplication and division :

⇒ the number with the least number of significant figures decides the number of significant digits.

⇒76.02 has 4 digits ( 2 after the comma) and 55.845 has 5 digits (3 after the comma).

⇒ this means 1.361 moles

We have 1.361 moles in the sample
