So,
Formate has a resonating double bond.
In molecular orbital theory, the resonating electrons are actually delocalized and are shared between the two oxygens. So the carbon-oxygen bonds can be described as 1.5-bonds (option B). I'm not sure if option C is correct, however, because the likelihood of both delocalized electrons being in the area of one oxygen atom is less than 50%.<span />
Answer:
kinetic
Explanation:
kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion.
Answer:
- <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>
Explanation:
Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.
Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:
- Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.
- Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.
Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:
- Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.
- Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.
So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:
- O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.
Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.
Answer:
K^+ and NO3^-
Explanation:
In a balanced ionic equation, we usually see the species that react to yield the main product in the reaction.
Consider the reaction;
Pb(NO3)2(aq) +2 KI(aq) -------> PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)
The main product in this reaction is PbI2. Hence the balanced ionic equation is;
Pb^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq) ------> PbI2(s)
Notice that K^+ and NO3^- did not participate in this reaction. All ions that are part of the molecular equation but do not participate in the ionic reaction equation are called spectator ions. Hence K^+ and NO3^- are spectator ions in this reaction as can be seen clearly above.
<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>The temperature of the gas: V</h3>
The temperature of gas is a variable quantity. It can be changed by changing energy or pressure of gas.
<h3>The amount of gas in the tube (in terms of mass and moles): C</h3>
It is a constant entity. As mass of gas once taken can not be changed by changing temperature, pressure etc.
<h3>The radius of the tube: C</h3>
The radius of tube cannot change at any rate.
<h3>The temperature of the gas (changed by the water surrounding it): V</h3>
It can be changed by changing the temperature of water surrounding it.
<h3>The type of gas: C</h3>
It can never be changed.
<h3>The pressure of the gas: V</h3>
It can be changed by simply changing temperature and volume of gas.
