How many individual orbitals does carbon use for all of its electrons? Remember, there are two electrons in each filled orbital

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Three orbitals

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of carbon is given as follows;

1s²2s²2p²

Therefore, out of the six electrons of the carbon atoms, 4 fill the 1s and 2s orbitals with 2 electrons each, while the two remaining electrons are situated in the 2p orbital, with the electrons in the 2p orbital will remain unpaired such that they will have similar quantum numbers in accordance with Pauli exclusion principle.

Which molecule has a nonpolar covalent bond?
kondaur [170]
Nonpolar covalent bonds are chemical bonds where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other and the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal. An example is methane. It has four carbon-hydrogen single covalent bonds. These bonds are nonpolar because the electrons are shared equally.

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: Mg + HCl > H2 + MgCl2 ?​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Chemical equation:

Mg + HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 36.5 g = 2 g+ 95 g

60.5 g = 97 g

The reaction does not hold the law of conservation of mass, because it is not balanced.

Balanced chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 73 g = 2 g+ 95 g

97 g = 97 g

this equation completely follow the law of conservation of mass.
