TEA [102]3 years ago
7 0
The answer is 2 pairs. The carbon atom has 4 electrons and oxygen atom has 6 electrons. The purpose of shared electron is to get 8 electrons at the outer layer. So the carbon atom needs to share 4 electrons which is 2 pairs with oxygen to be stable.

The hcl(g) molecule has a bond length of 127 pm and a dipole moment of 1.08
Roman55 [17]

Let us assume that this molecule is 100 percent ionic. In that case, the charges are distinguished by a bond length.

h = Q × r

= (160 × 10⁻¹⁹ c) (127 × 10⁻¹² m) (10 / 3.336 × 10⁻³⁰ cm)

= 6.09 D.

The actual dipole moment is = 1.08 D

Therefore, the percent ionic character is,

= 1.08 D / 6.09 D × 100

= 17.7 %.

The energy required to ionize a mole of potassium ions is 419 kJ/mol . What is the longest wavelength of light capable of this i
liraira [26]
<span>First divide the ionization energy by Avogadro's number to get the energy per atom of potassium;
</span>419 kj/mol / 6.023 x 10²³
= 4.19 x 10⁵ / 6.023 x 10²³ = 6.96 x 10⁻¹⁹
E = hc/λ
where lambda (λ<span>) is the wavelength, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light 
</span>E = 6.96 x 10⁻¹⁹ j/atom<span>
h =</span>6.63x10⁻³⁴<span> Js
c = 3 x 10</span>⁸ m/s
λ = ?
λ = hc/E = (6.63x10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ ) / 6.96 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 285.8nm = 286nm
<span>The longest wavelength of light capable of this ionization is 286nm.</span>
