<span>Butanethiol is chemically classified among the thiols, which are organic compounds with molecular formulas and structural formulas similar to alcohols, except that sulfur-containing sulfhydryl group (-SH) replaces the oxygen-containing hydroxyl group (-OH) in the molecule. Butanethiol's basic molecular formula is C4H9SH, and its structural formula is similar to that of the alcohol n-butanol. Butanethiol is prepared by the free radical catalyzed addition of hydrogen sulfide to 1-butene. Commercially, this is performed using ultraviolet light. Butanethiol is a thiol of low molecular weight, and it is highly flammable.</span>

Describe each highlighted bond in terms of the overlap of atomic orbitals. (If the highlighted bond is not a pi bond, select the
Anestetic [448]

The image of the bonds are missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

A) - Sigma bond

-Sp³ and Sp³

- None

B) - Sigma and pi bond

- Sp² of C and p of O

- p of C and P of O

Explanation:

A) For compound 1;

- the molecular orbital type is sigma bond due to the end-to-end overlapping.

- Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond will be Sp³ and Sp³

- Atomic orbitals in the pi bond would be nil because there is no pi bond.

B) For compound 2;

- the molecular orbital type is sigma and pi bond

-Atomic orbitals in the sigma bond would be Sp² of C and p of O

- The Atomic orbitals in the pi bond will be; p of C and p of O

Lily is doing a science experiment with a substance in a sealed jar. At first, the substance's molecules are moving around each
Alex

The molecules will be more separated, and will have least amount of intermolecular force of attraction.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The molecules inside the jar of Lilly are moving around each other. This means the state of the matter present inside the jar is liquid. As Lily gives more energy inside the jar , the molecules inside the jar will get more separated as the kinetic energy of the molecules increase and the intermolecular force of attraction decreases as well as the intermolecular separation or distance increase. As the energy is continued to be supplied from outside, there will be a time when this liquid will reaches boiling point and will start to change into gas. After this point the intermolecular force of attraction will be least among molecules and their separation will be maximum.
