Molecular orbital theory correctly predicts paramagnetism of oxygen gas. true or false

Physics

PtichkaEL [24]4 years ago

3 0

Answer: Yes.

Explanation:

Oxygen has a bond order of two. The bond order of Oxygen molecule is calculated, where the [eight valence electrons in bonding molecular orbitals minus (-) four valence electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals]/2 in the electron configuration.

Atoms/molecules where electrons are paired are diamagnetic (repelled by both poles of a magnetic); while atoms/molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons are paramagnetic (attracted to magnetic field).

The two unpaired electrons of dioxygen molecules has made it paramagnetic. By pouring liquid oxygen between the poles of a strong magnet, the liquid stream will be contained by the filed and fills up the space between the poles.

Is gravitational energy a form of kinetic energy or potential energy? Why do you think that?

NeTakaya

Answer:

When something is lifted, work is done on the object against the pull of gravity. This work is converted to a form of potential energy called gravitational potential energy. When the item falls towards Earth like an apple from a tree, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 2.60 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 4.60 m

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

9.495 m/s

Explanation:

initial horizontal speed, ux = 2.60 m/s

initial vertical speed, uy = 0

height, h = 4.60 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Let the speed of fish is v as it hits the water level.

Use third equation of motion in vertical direction

$v^{2}= u^{2}+2as$

$v^{2}= 0^{2}+2\times 9.8\times 4.60$

v = 9.495 m/s

Thus, the fish hits the water level with the speed of 9.495 m/s.

Fluid flows at 2.0 m/s through a pipe of diameter 3.0 cm. What is the volume flow rate of the fluid in m^3/

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Volume flow rate = $1.41 \times 10^{-3}m^3/s$

Explanation:

The volume flow rate through a channel can be gotten by multiplying its area and its velocity.

The channel under consideration is a circular channel. Hence, the cross-sectional area can be calculated by using the relation for calculating the area of a circle

Cross-sectional area = $\pi \times d^{2}/4$

$A = \pi \times (3\times 10^-2)^2 /4 = 7.07 \times 10 ^-4 m^2$

volume flow rate= $A = 7.07 \times 10 ^-4 m^2 X 2.0 = 1.41 \times 10^{-3}m^3/s$

Volume flow rate = $1.41 \times 10^{-3}m^3/s$
