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-

NISA [10]

Answer:

B. Equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same

conditions

Explanation:

Amedo Avogadro found the relationship between volume of a gas and the number of molecules contained in the volume.

The law states that "equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contains equal number of molecules or moles".

The law describes the behavior of gases when involve in chemical reactions. It enables one to change over at will in any statement about gases from volumes to molecules and vice versa.

So, the right option is B which implies that equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same conditions.

7. Complete the concept map below.

Drainage that is not handled properly can cause an increase in erosion, changes in stormwater runoff, flooding, and damage to water quality.

<h3>Natural Disaster?</h3>
  • Large-scale geological or meteorological phenomena that have the potential to cause loss of life or property are considered natural disasters.
  • Tornadoes and severe storms are examples of these catastrophes. Tropical Storms and Hurricanes. Floods.
  • They release significant amounts of gas and dust into the atmosphere, particularly the upper atmosphere, which temporarily alters the climate on Earth.
  • Large volcanic eruptions should be followed by a drop in the average surface temperature, which is actually seen and lasts for typically 1 to 3 years.
  • Deforestation and the combustion of fossil fuels have detrimental environmental effects that directly affect the biosphere. Pollutant emissions and carbon dioxide have a negative impact on all types of life.

What charged particle is produced during ionic bonds
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation or a positively charged ion. The atom gaining one or more electrons becomes an anion which is a negatively charged ion.
