Molecular orbital theory correctly predicts paramagnetism of oxygen gas. true or false
1 answer:
Answer: Yes.
Explanation:
Oxygen has a bond order of two. The bond order of Oxygen molecule is calculated, where the [<em>eight valence electrons in bonding molecular orbitals</em> minus (-) <em>four valence electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals</em>]/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 <u>paramagnetic</u>. 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.

Answer:
1. Distance travelled = 12 km.
2. Displacement = 8.6 km
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km
Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km
Total distance =?
Displacement =?
1. Determination of the distance travelled.
Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km
Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km
Total distance (dₜ) =?
dₜ = d₁ + d₂
dₜ = 7 + 5
dₜ = 12 km
2. Determination of the displacement.
In the attached photo, R is the displacement.
We can obtain the value of R by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:
R² = 7² + 5²
R² = 49 + 25
R² = 74
Take the square root of both side
R = √74
R = 8.6 km
