Explain why the balls representing fluorine (teal) and hydrogen (white) have only one peg, while carbon (black) has four.

Answer:

Hydrogen and fluorine form only one bond while carbon forms four bonds to other atoms.

Explanation:

This question brings us to the idea of valency. Fluorine is univalent while carbon is tetravalent.

Univalent means that fluorine can only form one bond to hydrogen while carbon forms as much as four bonds because it is tetravalent.

Hence fluorine and hydrogen have only one peg while carbon has four.

A 1.00 L flask is filled with 1.15 g of argon at 25 ∘C. A sample of ethane vapor is added to the same flask until the total pres
tatiyna

Answer:

The partial pressure of argon in the flask = 71.326 K pa

Explanation:

Volume off the flask = 0.001 m^{3}

Mass of the gas = 1.15 gm = 0.00115 kg

Temperature = 25 ° c = 298 K

Gas constant for Argon R = 208.13 \frac{J}{kg k}

From ideal gas equation P V = m RT

⇒ P = \frac{m R T}{V}

Put all the values in above formula we get

⇒ P = \frac{0.00115}{0.001} × 208.13 × 298

⇒ P = 71.326 K pa

Therefore, the partial pressure of argon in the flask = 71.326 K pa

Aluminum foil used for storing food weighs about 0.3 g per square inch. How many atoms of aluminum are contained in one square i
amm1812

Answer:

The number of atoms of aluminum contained in one square inch of the foil=6

Explanation:

Interpretation:

The number of atoms of aluminum contained in one square inch of the foil is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: relation to calculate a number of atoms contained in one square inch of the foil is given by:

 NA/c=mNA/AA1

Where,

M=mass of aluminum

NA= Avogadro's number

AA= Atomic mass of aluminum

Given :

Mass of aluminum foil=0.3 g

M= 0.39g

Relation to calculate a mass of atoms contained in one square inch of the foil is given by:

NA/c= mNA/AA1

M= Mass of aluminum

NA= Avogadro's number

AA= Atomic mass of aluminum

Since,

Avogadro's number

=6

If a molecule with a central atom that has five regions of electron density has exactly one lone pair of electrons. What will it
Hoochie [10]

The molecular geometry of a molecule with a core atom that has five areas of electron density and precisely one lone pair of electrons is called a disphenoidal or seesaw molecular geometry.

What is meant by disphenoidal or seesaw molecular geometry?

  • Four bonds are made to an atom in the center of a disphenoidal or seesaw-shaped molecular structure, which has overall C2v structural symmetry. The fact that it resembles a playground seesaw is how it got the moniker "seesaw." Tetrahedral or, less frequently, square planar geometry is produced when four bonds to a center atom are present.
  • The core atom of a molecule with a steric number of 5 and bonds to 4 additional elements and 1 lone pair is said to be in the seesaw geometry.
