Answer:

Functional group

Explanation:

Functional group is specific group of atom or bond associated to an organic compound that determines the chemical properties of that compound. This atom is bonded in a certain way or specific arrangement to give the compound a peculiar physical and chemical characteristics.

Functional group like the alkyl group -CH3 is found in organic compound series like the alkane family. The chemical properties specific to the alkyl group will be active in the compound of alkane family because of the presence of the functional group Alkyl(-CH3). The functional group also plays a major role in the chemical reactivity of the compound. For example the functional group of alkyl are often non reactive, this non reactive nature will definitely rub off on the chemical properties of the compound it is attached.

Functional group like -OH is usually found in Alcohol . Due to the presence of this functional group (-OH) alcohol possess a peculiar chemical properties. The compounds possess an hydrogen bond which invariably lead to the higher boiling points of the alcohol compounds. Other functional group can be bonds like double bond found in alkene compound or triple bond found in alkyne compound.

Select the molecule where free rotation around one or more bonds is not possible. Group of answer choices N2H4 C2Cl4 NH3 C2H6 CC

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

C₂Cl₄

Explanation:

To know if free rotation around a bond in a compound is possible, we need to see the structure of the compound (picture in attachment).

In single bonds, which are formed by σ bonds, the atoms are not fixed in a single position, and free rotation is permitted.

Double and triple bonds are formed by a σ bond and one or two π bonds, respectively. These bonds do not allow rotation, since it is not possible to twist the ends without breaking the π bond.

The chloroethylene (C₂Cl₄) has two carbons with an sp2-sp2 hybridization, they are bonded together by a double bond. <u>Free rotation on this bond is not possible, because six atoms, including the carbon atoms, doubly bonded and the four chlorine atoms bonded to them, must be on the same plane. </u>

Write the condensed ground-state electron configurations of these transition metal ions, and state which are paramagnetic:

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

a) Mo the electron configuration: 42Mo: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4

Mo3+ - is Paramagnetic

b) Au - [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1

For Au+ is not paramagnetic

c) Mn - [Ar] 3d5 4s2

Mn2+ is paramagnetic

d)Hf -[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d² 6s²

Hf2+ is not paramagnetic

Explanation:

An atom becomes positively charged when it looses an electron.

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

Consider the following chemical reaction in a small volume of solution. According to LeChatelier’s Principle, which perturbation

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Decreasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium leftwards towards reactants.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between chromate anions and hydrogen ions yields dichromate anions, water and heat, we can infer this is an exothermic reaction by which heat is released (remember in endothermic reactions heat is absorbed as a reactant), it means that considering the LeChatelier’s which states that increasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction shifts the equilibrium leftwards since heat is a product, otherwise (decreasing the temperature) the equilibrium will be shifted rightwards.

Therefore, decreasing the temperature is the perturbation that will shift the equilibrium leftwards towards the reactants.

Best regards!

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal. T

SVEN [57.7K]

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear Fission is the process in which splitting of a nucleus takes place that releases free neutrons and lighter nuclei. The fission of heavy elements like "Uranium is highly exothermic" and releases "200 million eV" compared to the energy that is released by burning coal which gives a few eV.

In the given example, it is obvious that the energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than that of the energy released from 3 grams of coal because the amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only $\frac{1}{10}^{th}$ part of the original nuclei is converted to energy.
