Explain why both square planar and tetrahedral complexes have coordination number=4, and yet square planar complexes can never b

e chiral while tetrahedral complexes can.
Chemistry

saul85 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The coordination number is 4.  

Explanation:

  • Square planar clusters can be either cis or trans, as they form 180 and 90-degree bond angles. Therefore, a pair of ions may be adjacent (cis) to one another and immediately across (trans) from one another.
  • A square planar molecule could never be simultaneously cis and trans, so because several coordinators are 4.
  • Since linear complexes have only an angle of a bond of 180 degrees, they can not have cis or trans-isomers. In the coordination complex, there is only yet another way possible of bonding the two binding sites to the steel.

Nitrogen gas effuses through an opening 1.59 times faster than an unknown gas.
Elodia [21]
A) Nitrogen has an ATOMIC mass number of 14, but nitrogen gas consists of N₂ molecules, so the mass to use in this problem is 28 g/mol. Rates of effusion ∝ 1/√(mass), so 

<span>√(mass unknown) /√28 = (rate N₂ effusion)/(rate unknown effusion) = 1.59 </span>
<span>∴ mass unknown = (1.59)²(28) = 70.78 g/mol </span>

<span>B) One possible gas that comes close for this mass is NF₃.</span>

What is different about the atomic structure of the oxygen isotopes?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Each isotope of oxygen contains 8 protons, but differs in the number of neutrons. An isotope number is a shorthand representation of its mass. Because protons and neutrons are roughly equal in mass, an isotope's number is equal to the sum of its protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons. The difference in the number of neutrons between the various isotopes of an element means that the various isotopes have different masses.
