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-

What volume change occurs to a 400.0 mL gas sample as the temperature increases from 22.0 °C to 30.0°C?
nasty-shy [4]
V₁ = 400.0 mL

T₁ = 22.0ºC + 273 = 295 K

V₂ = ?

T₂ = 30.0ºC + 273 = 303 K

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

400.0 / 295 = V₂ / 303

295 x V₂ = 400.0 x 303

295 V₂ = 121200

V₂ = 121200 / 295

V₂ = 410.84 mL

hope this helps!

Which of the following statements is NOT a part of John Dalton's atomic theory?
Goshia [24]

The statement that is NOT a part of John Dalton's atomic theory Electrons move in specific orbits around the nucleus of an atom. The statements ‘All elements are composed of atoms that cannot be divided’, ‘All atoms of the same element are exactly alike and have the same mass’ and ‘Every compound is composed of atoms of different elements, combined in a specific ratio’ are not his theory.
