Explanation:

atom changes from a ground state to an excited state by taking on energy from its surroundings in a process called absorption. The electron absorbs the energy and jumps to a higher energy level. In the reverse process, emission, the electron returns to the ground state by releasing the extra energy it absorbed

Identify the atomic orbitals in the C-C sigma bond in ethyne (acetylene HC-triplebond-CH)

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

A sigma bond is formed when a hybrid orbital sp overlaps with another hybrid orbital or with s- or p- orbital

Ethylene has a structural formula of H - C≡ C- H

At the ground state; we have :

C | ⇅ | |↑ | ↑

2s 2p

At the excited state, we have:

C | ↑ | |↑ | ↑ | ↑

Which of the following is a correct lewis structure for sulfur dioxide, so2?

pshichka [43]

The correct Lewis structure of SO2 is the Lewis structure that shows all the 12 valence electrons in the molecule.

A Lewis structure shows the number of valence electrons on the valence shell of all the atoms in a compound. The electrons are shown as dots around the symbol of each element or a dash to indicate shared electrons in a covalent bond.

Looking at the Lewis structure of SO2 attached to this answer, we can see the twelve valence electrons in the molecule and how they are distributed around each atom as shown.

How many half-lives will pass by the time 1.56% of I-131 is present? B. Approximately how many days does that equal? *

serg [7]

Answer: Hmmmmm that's crazy....

There are a couple of equations one could use for this type of problem, but I find the following to be the easiest to use and to understand.

Fraction remaining (FR) = 0.5n

n = number of half lives that have elapsed

In this problem, we need to find n and are given the FR, which is 1.56% or 0.0156 (as a fraction).

0.0156 = 0.5n

log 0.0156 = n log 0.5

-1.81 = -0.301 n

n = 6.0 half lives have elapsed

Just wanted to help. Hopefully it's correct wouldn't want to waster your time ;)

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) 2FeCl₃ + 3Li₂S = Fe₂S₃ ( s ) + 6 LiCl

2Fe⁺³ + 6Li ⁻ + 6Cl⁻ + 3S⁻² = 6Li + 6Cl⁻ + Fe₂S₃ ( s )

b )

3CH₃COONa +( NH₄)₃PO₄ = 3CH₃COONH₄ + Na₃PO₄

3CH₃COO + 3Na⁺ + 3NH₄⁻ + PO₄⁺³ = 3CH₃COO⁻ +3NH₄⁺ + Na₃PO₄

c )

HClO₄ + KOH = kClO₄ + H₂O

H ⁺ + ClO₄⁻ + K⁺ + OH⁻ = k⁺ ClO₄⁻ + H₂O

d )

NH₄OH + HNO₃ = NH₄NO₃ + H₂O

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ + H⁺ + NO₃⁻ = NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻ + H₂O

e )

HNO₂ + KOH = KNO₂ + H₂O

H⁺ + NO₂⁻ + K⁺ + OH⁻ = K⁺ + NO₂⁻ + H₂O

f ) HIO₃ + CaCO₃ ( s ) = Ca( IO₃ )₂ + H₂CO₃

H⁺ + IO₃⁻ + CaCO₃ ( s ) = Ca( IO₃ )₂ + H₂CO₃

g )

c ) is strong acid and strong base

d ) is weak base and strong acid

e ) weak acid and strong base

f ) Strong acid and basic salt
