Answer: Formation of a stable Duplet or Octet structure

Explanation:

Energy levels refers to the definite amount of energies that electrons can have when occupying specific orbitals.

Examples are:

Level 1 as in 1s

Level 2 as in 2s, 2p

Level 3 as in 3s 3p 3d

Level 4 as in 4s 4p 4d 4f

Level 5 as in 5s .......

Level 6 as in 6s .........

Electrons can be excited to higher energy levels by absorbing energy from the surroundings during chemical reactions and so forming chemical bonds like ionic, covalent etc.

A perfect example is Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) in Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Sodium has atomic number of 11, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine has atomic number of 17, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5

You will notice that the both Na and Cl, has electrons in the energy level 3. Then, the bond formed must be one that lead to the formation of a OCTET structure: as in Na gives off its 3s1 electron TO Cl.

Thus, Cl now becomes 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 - an OCTET STRUCTURE (with completely filled outershell and full energy level 3) in NACl.

So, a duplet or Octet structure is the answer

A mixture of three noble gases has a total pressure of 1.25 atm. The individual pressures exerted by neon and argon are 0.68

FinnZ [79.3K]

First of all, as you seen the gases are noble which means that will not react with each other and in this case each gas create individual pressure.

P $_{T}$ = total pressure

P $_{Ne}$ = pressure of neon

P $_{Ar}$ = pressure of argon

P $_{He}$ = pressure of helium {which is required}

P $_{T}$ = P $_{Ne}$ + P $_{Ar}$ + P $_{He}$

1.25 = 0.68 + 0.35 + P $_{He}$

P $_{He}$ = 1.25 - [0.68 + 0.35] = 0.22 atm

Problem page in each of the molecules drawn below one chemical bond is colored red. decide whether this bond is likely to be pol

Slav-nsk [51]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Problem page in each of the molecules drawn below one chemical bond is colored red. Decide whether this bond is likely to be polar or not. if the bond is likely to be polar, write down the chemical symbol for the atom which will have more negative charge.

The image is attached below.

Answer:

For carbon dioxide molecule: The bond is considered as polar and the elecvtronegative atom is oxygen.

For water molecule: The bond is considered as polar and the elecvtronegative atom is oxygen.

Explanation:

There are two types of covalent bonds:

Polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond. For Example: $CO_2,NO_2$ etc..
Non-polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: $N_2,O_2$ etc..

In carbon dioxide molecule:

The given bond is present between C and O atom.

Electronegativity value of C = 2.5

Electronegativity value of O = 3.5

Electronegativity difference = (3.5 - 2.5) = 1

As, electronegativity difference is present. So, the bond is considered as polar and the elecvtronegative atom is oxygen.

In water molecule:

The given bond is present between H and O atom.

Electronegativity value of H = 2.1

Electronegativity value of O = 3.5

Electronegativity difference = (3.5 - 2.1) = 1.4

As, electronegativity difference is present. So, the bond is considered as polar and the elecvtronegative atom is oxygen.

What are the sources of petrochemicals

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Petrochemicals are chemical products derived from petroleum, although many of the same chemical compounds are also obtained from other fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas or from renewable sources such as corn, sugar cane, and other types of biomass.
