Answer:

electron-electron repulsion

Explanation:

When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.

In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.

To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.

Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in each reaction:Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆

klemol [59]

In the reaction, Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆, Na⁺ is a Lewis acid and H₂O is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>

According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
Here Na⁺ that is electron deficient accepts electrons from the electron donor, H₂O
From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

There are five constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C6H14. When treated with chlorine at 300°C, isomer A gives a mi

ozzi

Answer:

Pentane or 2,2-dimethylbutane

Explanation:

I've numbered the isomeric hexanes from 1 to 5 and labelled the sets of equivalent hydrogens.

The results are

Isomer 1— three sets of equivalent hydrogens

Isomer 2— five sets of equivalent hydrogens

Isomer 3— four sets of equivalent hydrogens

Isomer 4— two sets of equivalent hydrogens

Isomer 5— three sets of equivalent hydrogens

Each set will give one monochloro substitution product.

4 = A. Two monochloro isomers.

2 = B. Five monochloro isomers.

3 = C. Four monochloro isomers.

Isomers 1 and 5 each give three monochloro isomers.

Thus, we cannot assign Structure D definitively.

D is either pentane or 2,2-dimethylbutane.
