3 0

In a Lewis structure, formal charges can be assigned to each atom by treating each bond as if one-half of the electrons are assigned to each atom. ... Resonance occurs in cases where two or more Lewis structures with identical arrangements of atoms but different distributions of electrons can be written.

The name of the compound by using the <u>IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds</u> is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.

<h3>Nomenclature of Organic compounds</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the name of the given molecule.

To name the compound, we will follow the IUPAC rules.

Some of IUPAC rules are

Find the longest continuous carbon chain. Determine the root name for this parent chain.
For Alkenes (organic compounds with double bond), number the chain of carbons that includes the C=C so that the C=C has the lower position number. Change “ane” to “ene” and assign a position number to the first carbon of the C=C.

The given compound has 8 carbons and a double bond. The root name of the compound is octane.

By <u>IUPAC rules</u>, the compound is an <u>Octene</u>.

Since the double bond is between carbon-1 and carbon-2. The compound becomes 1-octene.

Hence, the name of the compound by using the <u>IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds</u> is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.

Which of the following molecules is diamagnetic according to molecular orbital theory? A) N₂⁺ B) N₂⁻ C) CN D) CN⁻

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

D) CN⁻

Explanation:

Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.

On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.

According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.

Why will liquids evaporate even at room temperature?

mr Goodwill [35]

<h2>It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. ... It turns out that all liquids can evaporate at room temperature and normal air pressure. Evaporation happens when atoms or molecules escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the molecules in a liquid have the same energy.</h2>
