Explanation:
To delineate the the nature of the bonds that would be formed between the two elements, let us first write the electronic configuration of the two species;
Be = 2, 2
F = 2, 7
Beryllium is a metal with two valence electrons whereas fluorine is a halogen with seven valence electrons.
When Be loses two electrons it becomes isoelectronic with He;
Be → Be²⁺ + 2e⁻
Also, when fluorine gains an electron, it becomes isoelectronic with Ne;
F + e⁻ → F⁻
This loss and gain of electrons between the two elements creates an electrostatic attraction them and they enter into an electrovalent bond.
Hence;
Be²⁺ + 2F⁻ → BeF₂
Answer:
c is not a true statement
Answer:
Empirical formula is CH₄
Molecular formula = C₂H₈
Explanation:
Mass of carbon = 37.5 g
Mass of hydrogen = 12.5 g
Molecular weight = 32 g/mol
Molecular formula = ?
Empirical formula = ?
Solution:
Number of gram atoms of C = 37.5 g /12g/mol = 3.125
Number of gram atoms of H = 12.5 g / 1.008 g/mol= 12.4
Atomic ratio:
C : H
3.125/3.125 : 12.4 /3.125
1 : 4
C : H : = 1 : 4
Empirical formula is CH₄
Molecular formula:
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass
n = 32 / 16
n = 2
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₄)
Molecular formula = C₂H₈
What's the big M? Molecular weight or mol?
Answer:
A. When temperature increases, the number and energy of collisions between particles increases, which increases the rate of the reaction.
Explanation:
The reaction rate measures the speed with which a reaction proceeds. Based on the collision theory of reaction rates, the rate of a given reaction depends on the number of collisions per time and how successful or effective the collisions are.
Reaction rate in view of the collision theory is very related to concentration and temperature. Both properties are directly proportional to the rate of a reaction.
As temperature increase, the rate of the reaction increases due to the number of effective collisions and the energy of between colliding particles.
