The modern view of an electron orbital in an atom can best be described as

Chemistry

Roman55 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

An orbital is a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Explanation:

The orbital is a concept that developed in quantum mechanics. Recall that Neils Bohr postulated that the electron occupied stationary states which he called energy levels. Electrons emit radiation when the move from a higher to a lower energy level. Similarly, energy is absorbed by an electron to move from a lower to a higher orbit.

This idea was upturned by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle state that the momentum and position of a particle can not be simultaneously measured with precision.

Instead of defining a 'fixed position' for the electron, we define a region in space where there is a possibility of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy. This orbital is identified by a set of quantum numbers.

What is a nonpolar covalent bond?
Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed between the atoms having no difference in electronegativity values. For Example: Cl_2,H_2 etc..

In this bond, the electrons are shared equally and \Delta EN value is equal to 0.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

HELP ASAP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST: How many grams of aluminum can be extracted from 5000g of alumina
Lesechka [4]

The grams of aluminium extracted from 5000g of alumina is 2647 grams

<h3>Chemical formula of alumina:</h3>
  • Al₂O₃

Let's calculate the molecular mass of Al₂O₃

Al₂O₃ = 27 × 2 + 16 × 3 = 54 + 48 = 102 g/mol

Therefore,

102 g of Al₂O₃ = 54 g of aluminium  

5000g of Al₂O₃  = ?

mass of aluminium produced = 5000 × 54 / 102

mass of aluminium produced = 270000 / 102

mass of aluminium produced  = 2647.05882353

mass of aluminium produced  = 2647 grams

1)Define potential Energy.
Margarita [4]

1. Potential Energy is stored energy a object has when it's not moving.

2. Potential Energy is it's highest on the first stage because as you see the roller coaster is bout to go down the tract which is going to higher the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

3. Kinetic Energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion or moving.

4. Kinetic Energy is it's highest in the third stage after it's gone down the tract and potential energy fully decreased and it's at zero.

Remember that potential energy is stored energy so when a object is not moving in this case the roller coaster isn't moving on the first stage when its bout to go down the roller coaster. Kinetic energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion so in this case the third stage would have the highest example of Kinetic energy because it's fully in motion and has no potential energy.

Write the full ground state electron configuration of C − C− . electron configuration: Which neutral atom is isoelectronic with
stepan [7]

Answer: 1. Is2 2s2 2p3

2. Nitrogen

Explanation: The number of electron present In C = 6

But an extra electron is added since the charge on C is -1, this therefore makes the total electron 7.

1. By arrangement, the Electronic configuration is therefore;

Ans: 1s2 2s2 2p3

2. It is explained how C has 7 electrons, we can proceed then.

Neutral atom have atomic number of 7.

The element with atomic number of 7 is;

Ans: NITROGEN

the quantity of antimony in an ore can be determined by an oxidation-reduction titration with an oxidizing agent. The ore is dis
Basile [38]

Answer:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3Sb³⁺(aq) + 6H⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + 3Sb⁵⁺(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

Explanation:

At a redox equation, one substance is being oxidized (losing electrons), and the other is being reduced (gaining electrons). In the given reaction:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + Sb³⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + Sb⁵⁺(aq)

When it's at an acidic solution, it must be ions H⁺ on the reactant, which will form water with the oxygen, so the complete reaction is:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + Sb³⁺(aq) + H⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + Sb⁵⁺(aq) + H₂O(l)

As we can see, the antimony is being oxidized (go from +3 to +5), and the Bromo is being reduced. The oxidation number of brome in the reactant, knowing that the oxidation number of O is -2, is:

x + 3*(-2) = -1

x = +5

So, it's going from +5 to -1, and the half-reactions are:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + 6e⁻ → Br⁻(aq)

Sb³⁺(aq) → Sb⁵⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

The number of electrons must be the same, so the second equation must be multiplied by 3:

3Sb³⁺(aq) → 3Sb⁵⁺(aq) + 6e⁻

Thus, the equation will be:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3Sb³⁺(aq) + H⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + 3Sb⁵⁺(aq) + H₂O(l)

Now, we verify the amount of the elements, which must be equal on both sides. So, we multiply H₂O by 3, and H⁺ by 6, and the balanced reaction will be:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3Sb³⁺(aq) + 6H⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + 3Sb⁵⁺(aq) + 3H₂O(l)
