Why do valence electrons form bonds to create molecules and compounds?

1 answer:

3 0

Valence electrons form bonds to create molecules and compounds because A. they are weaker than the electrons found closer to the nucleus.

A better way of saying it is that the valence electrons are less strongly attracted to the nucleus.

All electrons have the same size, but the orbitals they occupy have different sizes.

Answer:

B = - 0.0326 dm³/mol

Explanation:

virial eq until second term:

PVm = RT [ 1 + B/Vm ]

∴ P = 10 bar * (atm/ 1.01325 bar) = 9.869 atm

∴ T = 200°C = 473 K

∴ Vm = 3.90 dm³/mol

∴ R = 0.08206 dm³.atm/K.mol

⇒ PVm / RT = 1 + B/Vm

⇒ ((9.869 atm)*(3.90 dm³/mol)) / ((0.08206 dm³.atm/mol.K)*(473K)) = 1 + B/Vm

⇒ 0.99164 = 1 + B/Vm

⇒ B/Vm = - 8.357 E-3

⇒ B = (3.90 dm³/mol)*( - 8.357 E-3 )

⇒ B = - 0.0326 dm³/mol

Gamma rays contain much more energy (most penetrating) than radio waves because they have a greater frequencies.
Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelengths (1dm to 100 km), lowest frequencies (3kHz to 3GHz) and lowest energy (124 peV to 12,4 μeV).
Gamma rays are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths (1 pm), highest frequencies (300 EHz) and highest energy (1,24 MeV).
