Why is an oxygen molecule more stable than and oxygen atom ?

Chemistry
2 answers:
slava [35]3 years ago

Answer:

Oxygen molecule is 2 oxygen atoms in a covalent bond, whereas an oxygen atom is an atom with 8 electrons (6 valence electrons).  

Thus, clearly, any element in a bonded state is always more stable than when in an un-bonded state.

Answer:

Both atoms in an O2 molecule have achieved a noble gas electron configuration. – An oxygen atom does not have a stable octet of valence electrons.

1kg of hydrogen is burned in oxygen how much energy is released
Simora [160]

Answer:

121 million joules energy is released

Explain :

As there are 500 moles of hydrogen gas in a kilogram, this means that burning a kilogram of hydrogen gas releases 500 times as much energy or 121 million joules .

NASA communicates with the Space Shuttle and International Space Station using Ku-band microwave radio. Suppose NASA transmits a
Tanya [424]

Answer:

A = 0.023 m

Explanation:

The relation between the frequency of a radiation and its wavelength is given by the following expression.

where,

c is the speed of light (it has a constant value of 3.00 x 108 m/s)

A is the wavelength of the radiation v is the frequency of the radiation

In this case, the frequency is 13 GHz = 13 x

10° Hz = 13 x 1o° s-

The wavelength associated with this frequency is:

A = c/v = (3.00 x 10° m/s)/(13 x 10° s-") = 0.023

How do you balance this equation?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

HC₂H₃O₂ + NaHCO₃ —> NaC₂H₃O₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

The coefficients are: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

Explanation:

_HC₂H₃O₂ + _NaHCO₃ —> _NaC₂H₃O₂ + _CO₂ + _H₂O

To balance an equation, we simply do a head count of the individual elements and ensure they are balanced on both side.

For the above equation, we shall balance it as :

HC₂H₃O₂ + NaHCO₃ —> NaC₂H₃O₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Reactant:

H = 5

C = 3

O = 5

Na = 1

Product:

H = 5

C = 3

O = 5

Na = 1

From the above, we can see that each element is the same on both side of the equation. Thus the equation is already balanced

HC₂H₃O₂ + NaHCO₃ —> NaC₂H₃O₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

The coefficients are: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

Can someone please help with giving me some important information about Zr-Zirconium because i can find it anywhere and i have a
butalik [34]

Answer:Zirconium is a chemical element with the symbol Zr and atomic number 40. The name zirconium is taken from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium. It is a lustrous, grey-white, strong transition metal that closely resembles hafnium and, to a lesser extent, titanium. Zirconium is mainly used as a refractory and opacifier, altho…

Which has a higher concentration of water molecules— 200 molecules of water, or a mixture of 300 molecules of water and 100 mole
Dovator [93]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

            200 molecules of water has the highest concentration.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                    In chemistry, Concentration is defined as the amount of substance divided by the total volume of the constituents making the mixture.

<u>Case 1:</u> 200 Molecules of Water:

                                                     In this case we are having system which is made up of 200 purely water molecules and there is no other substance present in the system. Hence, for ease we can write it as,

           Concentration  =  Molecules of Water ÷ Total Molecules of Mixture

           Concentration  =  200 ÷ 200

           Concentration  =  1

<u>Case 2:</u> 300 Molecules of Water and 100 Molecules of Food Coloring:

                                                     In this case we are having a mixture which is made up of 300 water molecules and 200 food coloring molecules. Hence, we can write it as,

           Concentration  =  Molecules of Water ÷ Total Molecules of Mixture

           Concentration  =  300 ÷ (300 + 200)

           Concentration  =  300 ÷ 500

           Concentration  =  0.6

Therefore, it is proved that the concentration of pure 200 molecules of water is greater.
