Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃ is a liquid at room temperature.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Simora [160]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃ undergoes change in bonding and molecular force of attraction, causing it to be liquid at room temperature.

Explanation:

Unlike other chlorides of Period 3 elements, Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃ changes the structure of its molecular bonding from ionic to covalent bonds as it transitions to fluids (liquids or gases). The PCl₃ molecule also has the weak Van der Waals dispersion and dipole-dipole attraction, making it a fuming liquid at room temperature,  with no electrical conductivity.

If you eat 3 apples. How many apples do you have?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Let's say we were Subtracting 3-2=? To Find the Answer we would Subtract  2 from 3 which is 1 Simple our answer is 1  But let's say the Question is 3 - 1= ? to find this answer we would subtract 1 from 3 which is 2 Let's say you were subtracting 3-3=? to do this we take 3 away from 3 now 3 is 0 so our answer is 0 so there are 3 different problems we can make with 3 we could make more but I'm just telling the basics Hope I Helped Bye :)

Why is coal not classified as a mineral?
Fittoniya [83]

A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound, usually of crystalline form and abiogenic in origin. A mineral has one specific chemical composition. Coal is not a mineral because it is organic while a mineral is inorganic that have repeating crystalline structure.

Which is the correct statement regarding the relative Rf values of the starting methyl benzoate vs the product, methyl m-nitrobe
Marianna [84]

Answer:

1. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.

2. False

3. True

Explanation:

In chromatography, there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The ratio of the distance moved by a component and the distance moved by the solvent gives the retention factor (Rf).

Since silica gel is a polar solvent, it will retain the more polar product methyl m-nitrobenzoate compared to the methyl benzoate starting material.

In comparing the electrophillic aromatic substitution of m-nitrobenzoate  and methyl benzoate, we must remember that the presence of electron withdrawing groups (such as -NO2 and -CHO) on the aromatic compound deactivates the compound towards electrophillic aromatic substitution hence, methyl m-nitrobenzoate is less reactive than methyl benzoate in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition and Methyl benzoate is less reactive than benzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition

Describe the intermolecular forces that must be overcome to convert these substances from a liquid to a gas: (a) SO2, (b) CH3COO
Andre45 [30]
You need to find which intermolecular forces are between the molecules
dipole-dipole,h bonds, etc.
I'm not very good at explaining but this is what my prof said to help us

Identify the class of the molecule or molecules you are given. Are they nonpolar species, ions or
do they have permanent dipoles? Is there only one species or are there two?
In the case of ONE species (i.e., a pure substance), the intermolecular forces will be between
molecules of the same type. So if you are dealing with ions, the intermolecular forces will be ION-
ION or IONIC. If you are dealing with dipoles, then the intermolecular forces will be DIPOLE-
DIPOLE. If you are dealing with nonpolar species, the intermolecular forces will be DISPERSION
or VAN DER WAALS or INDUCED DIPOLE-INDUCED DIPOLE (the last three are desciptions
of the same interaction; regrettably we cannot call them nonpolar-nonpolar!).
In the case of TWO species (i.e., a mixture), the intermolecular forces will be between molecules of
one type with molecules of the second type. For example, ION-DIPOLE interactions exist between
ions dissolved in a dipolar fluid such as water.
