Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a curvy arrow is placed on the reactants then it shows that an electron is being transferred from one atom to another.

And, it is known that when donation or transfer of an electron occurs from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond and the compound formed is known as ionic compound.

For example, sodium when chemically combines with chlorine atom then one valence electron is donated by sodium atom to the chlorine atom. This forms the ionic compound NaCl.

Thus, we can conclude that in the reactants there is a curvy arrow, the direction of the arrow indicate that the cations give away an electron and the anions accept electrons.

Can you use molecular orbital theory to explain why fluorine is such a highly reactive gas?

vivado [14]

The F2 molecular orbital diagram shows 4e- are in the highest energy antibonding (destabilizing) molecular orbitals resulting in a bond order = 1.

Single bonds are easier to break and therefore more reactive. So the answer is yes.

The process does NOT violate the second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

The following parameters are given which are going to help in solving for the change in entropy of the system. The term "entropy'' simply means the degree of disorderliness of a system.

=> The temperature of container A = 305 K, the temperature of container B = 295 K and the amount of heat generated when the containers are placed in contact with each other = 1. 1 J.

The change in entropy of the hot container = -(1/305) = - 0.00328 J/K.

The change in entropy of the cold container = 1/295 = 0.00339 J/K.

Therefore, the change in the entropy of the system = - 0.00328 J/K + 0.00339 J/K = 0.00011 JK.

Note that the change in entropy of the system gives a positive value. Hence, this process does not violate the second law of thermodynamics.

The process does NOT violate the second law of thermodynamics.

What specifically determines how much energy is available in a molecular

HACTEHA [7]

C The number and types of bonds within the molecule.

Explanation:

In a molecule, the number and types of bonds present determines the amount of available energy therein.

When bonds are broken or formed, energy is usually released.

Elements combine with one another in order to attain stability in this state.
Through this process, they form bonds by attraction.
Where atoms exchange their valence electrons by losing or gaining it, electrovalent bonds form.
In covalent molecules, electrons are usually shared between atoms.
An attraction result from this type of interaction.
The bond formed stores energy in the process.
When bonds are broken, energy is usually released. The energy accrues when the bond was being formed.
In molecules, we have covalent bond.
