The diagram below shows four possible collisions between ethene and hydrogen chloride molecules.

One of the factors that the collision theory encompass to explain the rate of reactions is the orientation of the collisions.

In some reactions the only some special orientations yield effective collisions (those which will result in a chemical change).

In the case of the ehtylene and hydrogen chloride, the hydrogen end of the hydrogen chloride molecule must collide with the double bond of the ehtene molecule, to transform the change the c-c double bond iinto a single bond.

This approach is represented by the collision 1 of the diagram.

For your information, when the Chloride end of the hygrogen chloride molecule approachs the double bond of the ethylene molecule, the excces of negative charge on the chloride (due to its electronegativity) will be repeled by the electron density on the double bond, and the molecules will bounce instead of react.

How many electrons does nitrogen (N) need to gain to have a stable outer electron shell
earnstyle [38]
It need "3 electrons" to have a stable electronic configuration. 

'cause it has 5 electrons in it's outer shell & every atom needs 8 electrons. So, it requires 3 more!

Hope this helps!

What does 3.5 degree of unsaturation tell you?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

It means the chemical entity is a radical

Explanation:

When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.

While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.

In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.

Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?

The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.

Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.

A rock weighing 26.0g placed graduated cylinder displacing the volume from 13.12ml to 25.3ml what is the density of the rock in
tia_tia [17]

density = mass /volume

1)mass of rock = 26.0 gram

2)volume of rock = volume of water it has displaced= 25.3-13.12 = 12.18

put the value of mass and volume in first equation and get the density value
