Rank the following series of molecules or ions in order of decreasing bond energy using their bond order to predict relative mag
1 answer:
Answer:
P2>S2>Cl2 is the order of bond energy of the given molecules.
Explanation:
The bonding in each molecule is shown below:
Thus, between each P-atom, there exists a triple bond.
Between two S-atoms there exists a double bond.
Between two chlorine atoms, there exists a single bond.
As the number of bonds increases between the given atoms, then bond energy required to break the bonds also increases.
Thus, the bond order is shown below:

Answer:
The empirical formula is the simplest form;
Given:
Oxygen O at 94.1% and
H at 5.9%
Assume 100grams.
94% = 0.941 x 100gm. = 94.1 gm x 1mole/16gm. = 5.88 moles of O
5.9% = 0.059 x 100gm. = 5.9gm. X 1moleH/1.002gm. = 5.88 moles of H
There is one mole of O for each mole of H so the empirical formula is
and written as OH.
