Can you say please? Just kidding!
The process of science discovery depends upon changing your theories based upons new evidence from new experiments. New technology allows for new experiments, leading to new theories.
To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:
I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).
Answer:
B. Negative ion with a radius larger than the radius of the atom
Explanation:
When a negative ion is formed, electrons are added to the atom. As electrons are added to the atom, the size of the electron cloud increases accordingly.
As a result of this, a negative ion is always larger than its corresponding atom. Hence, nitrogen ion must be larger than the nitrogen atom based on the facts stated above.
A solution has a pOH of 7. 1 at 10∘c. Then the pH of the solution given that kw=2. 93×10−15 at this temperature is 7.4 .
It is given that,
pOH of solution = 7.1
Kw =2.93×10^(-15)
Firstly, we will calculate the value of pKw
The expression which we used to calculate the pKw is,
pKw=-log [Kw]
Now by putting the value of Kw in this expression,
pKw =−log{2.93×10^(-15)}
pKw =15log(2.93)
pKw=14.5
Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.
As we know that,
pH+pOH=pKw
Now put all the given values in this formula,
pH+7.1=14.5
pH=7.4
Therefore, we find the value of pH of the solution is, 7.4.
