Answer:

Canonical structures of a chemical specie explain its observed properties from a valence bond theory perspective.

Explanation:

Resonance is a valence bond concept introduced by Linus Pauling to explain the observed properties of certain chemical species such as bond lengths, bond angles, bond order , etc.

There are certain chemical species for which a single chemical structure does not suffice in explaining its observed properties. For instance, the bond order in CO3^2- is about 1.33. Its bond length, shows that the C-O bond present in CO3^2- is neither a pure C-O single bond nor a pure C-O double bond. Hence the structure of CO3^2- is 'somewhere in between' three contributing canonical structures as shown in the image attached to this answer. The resonance structures of NO3^- are also shown.

What happens when energy is released during atomic fission

Vesnalui [34]

Nuclear energy is called the energy obtained by the transformation of atomic nuclei, so small and heavy clusters of particles inside the atom. Nuclear energy can be produced in two ways, by cleavage or synthesis of nuclei. Heavy nuclei of radioactive elements such as uranium or plutonium, can be split into two nuclei. By splitting are released from the nucleus of neutrons that collide with other nuclei causing them to split and subsequent emission of neutrons. This is called a chain reaction. The condition calls self-sustaining nuclear reaction is slowing down neutrons. For this purpose, a special substance, called moderator. The neutrons collide with the molecules of the moderator precipitate heating speed while the moderator. The resulting heat heats the water so that a couple who drives a turbine generating electricity. Another way of producing nuclear energy is nuclear fusion, in which nuclei combine to light elements. So far, fusion, however, failed to carry out so that it can be applied to the economy as a source of energy.

A eraser has a mass of 4g and a volume of 2cm3 what is it’s density

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.0 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 4 g

volume = 2 cm³

We have

$density = \frac{4}{2} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
