Answer:

The bond order for C2 molecule is 2.

Explanation:

Bond order can be defined as the half of the difference between the number of electrons in the bonding orbital and the number of electrons in the antibonding orbitals. It can be represented mathematically by; .

Bond order,n= [number of electrons in the bonding molecular orbitals(BMO) - the number or electrons in the anti-bonding molecular orbitals(AMO) ] / 2.

The electronic configuration of the C2 molecule is given below;

C2 = (1sσ)^2 (1s^*σ)^2 (2sσ)^2 (2s^*σ)^2 (2pπ)^4.

The ones with the (*) are known as the Anti-bonding molecular orbitals while the ones without (*) are known as the bonding molecular orbitals. Hence, we have 8 Electrons from the bonding molecular orbitals and 4 Electrons from the anti-bonding molecular orbitals.

So, from the formula given above, the bond order of C2 molecule is;

===> 8-4/2= 4/2.

===> 2.

What was Newtons first law of motion??
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Basically an object in motion or at rest will remain that way unless an outside force acts against it.

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia.

When a substance such as ice melts, its temperature increases. Describe what happens to the arrangement of the water molecules a
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The molecules absorb heat and acquire more kinetic energy.

Explanation:

In a solid, the solids only vibrate about their mean positions but do not translate. When energy is supplied to the molecule in the form of heat, the molecules vibrate faster. Eventually, they acquire sufficient energy to leave their mean positions and translate. Hence the solid crystal collapses.

When ice is heated, water molecules acquire sufficient kinetic energy to translate. The intermolecular bonds are gradually broken in the solid framework as heat is absorbed. The heat required for this is known as the latent heat of fusion.

The temperature remains constant until phase transition is over, then temperature rise resumes.

This experiment is more about understanding the colligative properties of a solution rather than the determination of the molar
Afina-wow [57]
Colligative properties are properties of solutions that result from adding solute to a solvent and that depend on the concentration of solute particles, but independent of the identity of the solute molecules or ions. The four colligative properties are boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure lowering.
