Answer: F2 : bond order= 1.0

F2+: bond order = 1.5

F2- : bond order = 0.5

Explanation:

1. Starting with F2+

The configuration gives;

F2+ = 9F = 1S2.2S2.2P5

= 9F+ = 1S2.2S2.2P4 (this shows it gives out an electron)

Electronic configuration = σ 1S2σ*1S2σ2S2σ*2S2σ2Pz2 π2Px2 = π2Py2 π*2Px2 = π*2Py1

The number of Electrons = (9*2) – 1 = 18 -1 = 17

Bonding electrons (Nb) = 10

Antibonding electrons (Na) = 7

Bond order = (10-7)/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

Number of unpaired electrons = 1

2. Starting with F2

The configuration gives;

F2 = 9F = 1S2.2S2.2P5

9F = 1S2.2S2.2P5 (this shows no loss of an electron)

Electronic configuration = σ 1S2σ*1S2σ2S2σ*2S2σ2Pz2 π2Px2 = π2Py2 π*2Px2 = π*2Py2

The number of Electrons = (9*2) = 18 electrons

Bonding electrons (Nb) = 10

Antibonding electrons (Na) = 8

Bond order = (10-8)/2 = 2/2 = 1.0

Number of unpaired electrons = 0

3. Starting with F2-

The configuration gives;

F2- = 9F = 1S2.2S2.2P5

10F--= 1S2.2S2.2P6 (this shows an addition of an electron)

Electronic configuration = σ 1S2σ*1S2σ2S2σ*2S2σ2Pz2 π2Px2 = π2Py2 π*2Px2 = π*2Py2 σ*2Pz

The number of Electrons = (9*2) + 1 = 19 electrons

Bonding electrons (Nb) = 10

Antibonding electrons (Na) = 9

Bond order = (10-9)/2 = 1/2 = 0.5

Number of unpaired electrons = 1

To get the order of bond as well as length, we know that;

Bond order directly proportional to 1/ Bond length

Therefore the Ascending Bond length = F2+ ˂ F2 ˂ F2-

The mitochondria is ____where
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitochondria are a part of eukaryotic cells. The main job of mitochondria is to perform cellular respiration. This means it takes in nutrients from the cell, breaks it down, and turns it into energy. This energy is then in turn used by the cell to carry out various functions.

11 Which compound has the greatest percent composition by mass of sulfur?(1) BaS (3) MgS
harina [27]
Percent composition by mass is calculated (mass of element within compound)/(mass of compound)*100. The lower the total molar mass of the compound, the greater the percent composition of sulfur. In this case, MgS would be that compound, since Mg has the lowest molar mass of the four elements bonded to S.

A material has a volume of 63.0 cm3 and a mass of 28 grams.  What is the density of the material in g/cm3 to the correct number
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

0.4444 g/cm³ ≅ 0.44 g/cm³ (2 significant figures).

Explanation:

  • Knowing that:

<em>d = m/V,</em>

where, d is the density of the material (g/cm³).

m is the mass of the material (m = 28 g).

V is the volume of the material (V = 63.0 cm³).

<em>∴ d = m/V </em>= (28 g)/(63.0 cm³) = <em>0.4444 g/cm³ ≅ 0.44 g/cm³ (2 significant figures).</em>
