How can electronegativity be used to explain the reaction we see in terms of the numbers and types of bonded being formed in lit

hium?

kolezko [41]3 years ago

Explanation:

Lithium is an electropositive element that readily loses electrons.

Oxygen is electronegative and it will readily accept electrons.

 Due to this significant electronegativity differences between the two species they form electrovalent or ionic bonds between them.

  2atoms of Li lose two electrons:

      Li  →  Li²⁺ + e⁻

             Lithium isoelectronic with helium

 For oxygen;

      O + 2e⁻   →  O²⁻

                          Oxygen is isoelectronic with Neon

Two ions of the lithium combines with the oxygen to form the bond;

                   4Li + O₂  →  2Li₂O

The electrostatic attraction between the two ions forms the ionic bond

You measure the absorbance of your extracted curcumin solution and realize that the solution is too concentrated. What made you
zepelin [54]

If the absorbance of a solution of curcumin which is too concentrated is measured, the absorbance will be unusually high.

Spectrometry measures the interaction of light with molecules. The absorbance refers to how much light that interacts with molecules of the substance. The more the concentration of the substance the higher the absorbance of the solution.

Hence, if  the absorbance of a solution of curcumin which is too concentrated is measured, the absorbance will be unusually high. An unusually high absorbance tells us that the solution is too concentrated.

Describe the contributions of 3 scientists to our current understanding of the atom
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1. Rutherford did the scattering experiment and observed that some of the rays bounce back. He concluded that there is a mass in which positive charge is concentrated. This marks the discovery of nucleus.

2. J.J Thomson discovered electrons by conducting cathode ray experiment.

3. Dalton postulated that matter is made up of small particles caled atoms

Both 1,2−dihydronaphthalene and 1,4−dihydronaphthalene may be selectively hydrogenated to 1,2,3,4−tetrahydronaphthalene. One of
pochemuha

Answer:

1,4-dihydro = 113 kJ·mol⁻¹

1,2-dihydro = 101 kJ·mol⁻¹

Explanation:

In 1,4-dihydronaphthalene, the 2,3-double bond is isolated from the benzene ring.

In 1,2-dihydronaphthalene, the 3,4-double bond is conjugated with the benzene ring.

Thus, 1,2-dihydronaphthalene is partially stabilized by resonance interactions between the ring and the double bond (think, styrene).

1,2-Dihydronaphthalene is at a lower energy level because of this stabilization.

The heat of hydrogenation of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene is therefore less than that of the 1,4-isomer when each is hydrogenated to the common product, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene.

1. (8pt) Using dimensional analysis convert 600.0 calories into kilojoules
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. 2.510kJ  

2. Q = 1.5 kJ

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information for this calorimetry problem, we can proceed as follows:

1. Here, we consider the following equivalence statement for converting from calories to joules and from joules to kilojoules:

1cal=4.184J\\\\1kJ=1000J

Then, we perform the conversion as follows:

600.0cal*\frac{4.184J}{1cal}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}=2.510kJ

2. Here, we use the general heat equation:

Q=mC(T_2-T_1)

And we plug in the given mass, specific heat and initial and final temperature to obtain:

Q=236g*0.24\frac{J}{g\°C} (34.9\°C-8.5\°C)\\\\Q=1495.3J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} \\\\Q=1.5kJ

Regards!

When do replicated chromosomes are aligned in the center
Art [367]

Answer:

<u>During Metaphase</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

During Metaphase the cell chromosome align themselves in the middle of the cell.This occur due to a cellular process called "Tug of War".

The chromosome which have been replicated and joined at the central point  called centromere are called sister chromatids

Prior to metaphase , Kinetochore type of protein are formed around the centromere. Long protein filament called kinetochore are extended from poles to other end of the cell attached to kinetochore.

Therse is important checkpoint in the middle of mitosis called<u> metaphase.</u>

At this point cell ensure that , it is ready to divide or not.

Once the cell ensure that everything is ready to divide. Only after then , yhe cell enters the fourth phase called <u>anaphase.</u>
