Explain in words or using your diagrams how beryllium atoms would react with fluorine atoms.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]2 years ago
8 0

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

Draw the structure of 2 methyl,but-3-ene
Maslowich

Answer:

Please find the structure attached as an image

Explanation:

Based on the characteristics ending name (-ene) of the organic compound above, it belongs to the ALKENE GROUP. Alkenes are characterized by the possession of a carbon to carbon double bond (C=C) in their structure.

- But-3-ene tells us that the organic compound has four straight carbon atoms with the C=C (double bond) located on the THIRD carbon depending on if we count from right to left or vice versa.

- 2 methyl indicates that the methyl group (-CH3) is located as an attachment on the second carbon (carbon 2).

N.B: In the structure attached below, the counting is from the left to right (→).

Imagine you had HCl with a concentration of exactly 0.10 mol/dm3. If 0.023 dm3 of a sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH (aq), could
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the amount of sodium hydroxide in moles

Volume of sodium hydroxide solution = 25.0 ÷ 1,000 = 0.0250 dm3

Rearrange:

Concentration in mol/dm3 =

Amount of solutein mol = concentration in mol/dm3 × volume in dm3

Amount of sodium hydroxide = 0.100 × 0.0250

= 0.00250 mol

Step 2: Find the amount of hydrochloric acid in moles

The balanced equation is: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

So the mole ratio NaOH:HCl is 1:1

Therefore 0.00250 mol of NaOH reacts with 0.00250 mol of HCl

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of hydrochloric acid in mol/dm3

Volume of hydrochloric acid = 20.00 ÷ 1000 = 0.0200 dm3

Concentration in mol/dm3 =

Concentration in mol/dm3 =

= 0.125 mol/dm3

Step 4: Calculate the concentration of hydrochloric acid in g/dm3

Relative formula mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5

Mass = relative formula mass × amount

Mass of HCl = 36.5 × 0.125

= 4.56 g

So concentration = 4.56 g/dm3

4NH3 (g)+502(g)->6H20g)+4NOg) What is the enthalpy change for this reaction?
Feliz [49]
Enthalpy is energy of bonds broken - energy of bonds formed. Here, the NH3 and O2 are broken and H2O and NO are formed. So the energy to break the NH3 bonds is 3 times the amount of energy it takes to break a N-H single bond (because there are three of them in a NH3 molecule) and then multiplied by 4 because there are four particles.

So the energy of the bonds broken is 12x the energy to break a N-H single bond plus 5x the amount of energy to break an O—O double bond (you don’t multiply this by anything because in each O2 molecule there is only one bond).

The energy of the bonds formed is 6*2 = 12 Times the amount of energy for a O-H single bond plus 4 times the amount of energy required to break a N—O double bond.

Subtract energy of bonds broken - energy of bonds formed and this is the change in enthalpy.

To know what type of bond it is, draw the Lewis structure.
