Why do the two electrons spend their time equally between both hydrogen atoms? In other words, why can’t one hydrogen just take

the other’s electron?

Because it is a covalent bond meaning that they share the electrons to achieve full valence.

P4+ __02_ P4010 <br> I need help ASAP

klasskru [66]

Answer:

$P_4+5O_2\rightarrow P_4O_{10}$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when we want to balance chemical reactions such as in this case, the idea is to equal to number of atoms of each element at each side of the equation according to the lay of conservation of mass, just as shown below:

$P_4+5O_2\rightarrow P_4O_{10}$

Because we have four phosphorous and ten oxygen atoms at each side.

Best regards!

Solution of the Schrödinger wave equation for the hydrogen atom results in a set of functions (orbitals) that describe the behav

kvv77 [185]

Answer :

'n' specifies → (B) The energy and average distance from the nucleus.

'l' specifies → (C) The subshell orbital shape.

'ml' specifies → (A) The orbital orientation.

Explanation :

Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....

Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

Magnetic Quantum Number : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as $m_l$ . The value of this quantum number ranges from $(-l\text{ to }+l)$ . When l = 2, the value of

Spin Quantum number : It describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as $m_s$ . The value of this is $+\frac{1}{2}$ for upward spin and $-\frac{1}{2}$ for downward spin.

As per question we conclude that,

'n' specifies → The energy and average distance from the nucleus.

'l' specifies → The subshell orbital shape.

'ml' specifies → The orbital orientation.

"Compounds A and B react to give a single product, C. Write the rate law for each of the following cases and determine the units

olasank [31]

Answer:

Part a: <em>Units of k is </em> $M^{-2}s^{-1}$ <em> where reaction is first order in A and second order in B</em>

Part b: <em>Units of k is </em> $M^{-1}s^{-1}$ <em> where reaction is first order in A and second order overall.</em>

Part c: <em>Units of k is </em> $M^{-1}s^{-1}$ <em> where reaction is independent of the concentration of A and second order overall.</em>

Part d: <em>Units of k is </em> $M^{-3}s^{-1}$ <em> where reaction reaction is second order in both A and B.</em>

Explanation:

As the reaction is given as

$A+B \rightarrow C$

where as the rate is given as

$r=k[A]^x[B]^y$

where x is the order wrt A and y is the order wrt B.

Part a:

x=1 and y=2 now the reaction rate equation is given as

$r=k[A]^1[B]^2$

Now the units are given as

$r=k[A]^1[B]^2\\M/s =k[M]^1[M]^2\\M/s =k[M]^{1+2}\\M/s =k[M]^{3}\\M^{1-3}/s =k\\M^{-2}s^{-1} =k$

The units of k is $M^{-2}s^{-1}$

Part b:

x=1 and o=2

x+y=o

1+y=2

y=2-1

y=1

Now the reaction rate equation is given as

$r=k[A]^1[B]^1$

Now the units are given as

$r=k[A]^1[B]^1\\M/s =k[M]^1[M]^1\\M/s =k[M]^{1+1}\\M/s =k[M]^{2}\\M^{1-2}/s =k\\M^{-1}s^{-1} =k$

The units of k is $M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Part c:

x=0 and o=2

x+y=o

0+y=2

y=2

y=2

Now the reaction rate equation is given as

$r=k[A]^0[B]^2$

Now the units are given as

$r=k[B]^2\\M/s =k[M]^2\\M/s =k[M]^{2}\\M^{1-2}/s =k\\M^{-1}s^{-1} =k$

The units of k is $M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Part d:

x=2 and y=2

Now the reaction rate equation is given as

$r=k[A]^2[B]^2$

Now the units are given as

$r=k[A]^2[B]^2\\M/s =k[M]^2[M]^2\\M/s =k[M]^{2+2}\\M/s =k[M]^{4}\\M^{1-4}/s =k\\M^{-3}s^{-1} =k$

The units of k is $M^{-3}s^{-1}$
