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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ksju [112]3 years ago
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 <em>less strongly attracted</em> to the nucleus.

All electrons have the same size, but the <em>orbitals</em> they occupy have different sizes.

What is a possible quantum number set for an electron in the 2s orbital of a beryllium (Be) atom?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer is: 2,0,0,±1/2.

1) n = 1. The principal quantum number (n) is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state.

2) l = 0. The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

3) ml = 0. Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.

Magnetic quantum number (ml) specifies the orientation in space of an orbital of a given energy and shape . Magnetic quantum number divides the subshell into individual orbitals which hold the electrons, there are 2l+1 orbitals in each subshell.  

4) The spin quantum number, ms, is the spin of the electron; ms = +1/2 or -1/2.

Explain why the boiling point of H2S with relative molecular mass 34 is lower than that of H2O with relative molecular mass 18​
Levart [38]

Answer and Explanation:

In H2O molecules, due to formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, there is molecular association. Large amount of energy is required to break these intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is not possible in H2S. Hence, its boiling point is lower and is a gas.
