Gwar [14]3 years ago
7 0

Given molecule:

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3

- The molecule contain only C and H atoms, hence it is a hydrocarbon

- The C atoms in the linear chain are linked together by carbon-carbon single bonds, hence it is a saturated compound

- It has 7 C atoms and 16 H atoms, hence the molecular formula is C7H16

-The molecular formula can be generally represented as CnH2n+2 where n = 7. This corresponds to the general molecular formula for alkanes

The given molecule is best described as an <u>alkane</u>

Which particle has two positive charge and an electron arrangement of 2, 8?
Fynjy0 [20]

The answer is Mg^{2+}. A magnesium atom has 12 protons and an arrangement of [2, 8, 2]. When you lose two electrons, arrangement becomes [2,8] and the atom becomes a positively charged ion

Use molecular orbital theory to determine whether f22+ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.
Alexxandr [17]

We have to know whether F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.

F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic.

If number of unpaired electron in any species is equal to zero, the species is diamagnetic and the species contains unpaired electrons, then the species is paramagnetic.

The magnetic property can be explained using molecular orbital theory.

Total number of electron present in   F₂²⁺ is equal to 16 (i.e, 9+9-2). From the molecular orbital electronic configuration, number of electrons present in pi orbitals present is equal to 2.

So,  F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic.

In two or more complete sentences explain how to balance the chemical equation, KClO3 ⟶ KCl + O2 and include all steps. Write yo
Serggg [28]

Answer:

2KClO3 -------> 2KCl + 3O2

Explanation:

First, in balancing a chemical reaction such as the one given in the question, you should understand that for an equation to be balanced, the number of atoms and ions on both sides of the equation that is the right and left side must be equal. This follows the law of conservation of mass which tells us that matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed into another form.

Next is to begin balancing the equation by identifying and writing down the substances given:

KCl03 ---------> KCl + O2

Next is to count he number of the individual atoms on each side and find out if they are the same on both sides and if not you must follow the next step.

Add a corresponding number and use it to multiply the atoms involved

KClO3 ---------> KCl + O2

Oxygen is 3 on the left side and two on the other side, so we multiply the left hand side by 2 and the right hand side by 3

2KClO3 -----> KCl + 3O2

The potassium and Chlorine are no longer balanced, so you multiply the right had=nd side of KCl by 2.

2KClO3 -----> 2KCl + 3O2

The reactionis herefore balanced as both sides have equal number of atoms and ions.
