Answer: A short circuit occurs when there is low resistance connection between two conductors are required to supply electrical power to a circuit.

Answer:

A short circuit is when there is a low resistance connection between two conductors that are supplying electrical power to a circuit. This would generate an excess of voltage streaming and cause excessive flow of current in the power source. The electricity will flow through a 'short' route and cause a short circuit.

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog
Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:

  • If \Delta \chi=0, then the bond is non-polar.
  • If \Delta \chi\leq 1.7, then the bond will be covalent.
  • If \Delta \chi>1.7, then the bond will be ionic.

We are given:

Electronegativity for boron = 2.0

Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1

\Delta \chi=\chi_{H}-\chi_{B}\\\\\Delta \chi=2.1-2.0=0.1

As, \Delta \chi is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.

What is the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital in F2?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

σ*2pₓ, also called 3\sigma_{u}\text{*}

Explanation:

I have drawn the MO diagram for fluorine below.

Each F atom contributes seven valence electrons, so we fill the MOs of fluorine with 14 electrons.

We have filled the \pi \text{*2p}_{y} and \pi \text{*2p}_{z} MOs.

They are the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs).

The next unfilled level (the LUMO) is the σ*2pₓ orbital. If you use the symmetry notation, it is called the 3\sigma_{u}\text{*} orbital.

This is the orbital that fluorine uses when it acts as an electron acceptor.
