Bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. on the potential energy curve, the bond length is the inter

nuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. given that the atomic radii of h and cl are 25.0 cm and 100. pm , respectively, predict the bond length of the hcl molecule.

The lowest energy system occurs when the bond is the sum of the 2 atoms' radii. Therefore the length of the H-Cl bond is approximately:
25.0 pm + 100 pm = 125 pm
Hope this helps!

Answer:Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.

Explanation:

Bond length : It is an average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.

Also given that bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. on the potential energy curve, the bond length is the inter-nuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. Beyond this if atoms come closer to each other then their will be repulsion between them.

So, the bond length between the Hydrogen and Chlorine atom in HCl molecule is :

Bond length=radius _{hydrogen}+radius_{chlorine}=25pm+100pm=125pm

Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.

The bonds of four salts (MgBr2, NaCl, MgCl2, and NaBr) are evaluated for ionic character based on electronegativity differences
sammy [17]

Answer:

MgBr2 < MgCl2 < NaBr < NaCl

Explanation:

In order to determinate ionic character, we have to subtract the electronegativity from the elements involved. This is known as Pauling rule.

MgBr2 > ΔΕΝ = 1.8

NaCl > ΔΕΝ = 2.3

MgCl2 > ΔΕΝ = 2

NaBr > ΔΕΝ = 2.1

According to Newton’s second law of motion, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, how will that object respond? It
otez555 [7]

Answer:

C) It will accelerate.  

Explanation:

According to Newton’s second law of motion, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, it will accelerate.

An unbalanced force will change the speed or direction (or both) of an object. A change in speed and/or direction is acceleration.

A) is wrong. The object will stop moving only if there is a balanced force in the opposite direction.

B) is wrong. The object will decrease speed only if the unbalanced force has a component opposite to the direction of motion.

d) is wrong. The object will increase speed only if the unbalanced force has a component in the direction of motion.

Select the electron-domain geometry for a molecule with three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain.
mamaluj [8]

Answer: C) Tetrahedral

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be sp^3 but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be sp^2.

Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be sp^3.

Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be sp^3d.

Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be sp^3d^2.
