Identify the true statement(s) about the valence bond theory. 1. The strength of a bond depends on the amount of overlap between

the two orbitals of the bonding atoms. 2. The greater the overlap between two bonding atoms, the lesser the bond strength. 3. Orbitals bond in the directions in which they protrude or point to obtain maximum overlap

Answer:

The strength of a bond depends on the amount of overlap between the two orbitals of the bonding atoms

Orbitals bond in the directions in which they protrude or point to obtain maximum overlap

Explanation:

The valence bond theory was proposed by Linus Pauling. Compounds are firmed by overlap of atomic orbitals to attain a favourable overlap integral. The better the overlap integral (extent of overlap) the better or stringer the covalent bond.

Orbitals overlap in directions which ensure a maximum overlap of atomic orbitals in the covalent bond.

Answer:

THE STRENGTH OF THE BOND DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF OVERLAP BETWEEN THE TWO ORBITALS OF THE BONDING ATOMS

ORBITALS BOND IN THE DIRECTION OR POINT IN WHICH THEY PROTRUDE OR POINT TO OBTAIN MAXIMUM OVERLAP.

Explanation:

Valence bond theory describes the covalent bond as the overlap of half-filled atomic orbital yields a pair of electrons shared between the two bonded atoms. Overlapping of orbitals occurs when a portion of one orbital and the other occur in the same region of space. The strength of a bond is determined by the amount of overlap between the two orbitals of the bonding atoms. In other words, orbitals that overlap more and in the right orientation of maximum overlapping form stronger bonds that those with less overlap and right orientation for maximum overlap. The bonding occurs at a varying distance in different atoms from which it obtains its stable energy caused by the increase in the attraction of nuclei for the electrons.

Orbitals also bond in the direction to obtain maximum overlap as orientation of the atoms also affect overlap. The greater overlap occurs when atoms are oriented on a direct line mostly end to end or side by side between the two nuclei depending on the type of bond formed. A sigma bond is formed when atoms overlap end to end in which a straight line exists between the two atoms that is the internuclear axis indicating the concentrated energy  density in that region. Pi bond exits in when overlap occurs in the side -to -side orientation and the energy density is concentrated opposite the internuclear axis.

What is the mass in grams of 9.45*10^24 molecules of methanol (CH3OH)?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Number of moles:

1 mole ---------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
? moles --------- 9.45x10²⁴ molecules

1 x ( 9.45x10²⁴) / 6.02x10²³ =

9.45x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³ => 15.69 moles of CH3OH

Therefore:

Molar mass CH3OH = 32.04 g/mol

1 mole ------------ 32.04 g
15.69 moles -----  mass methanol

Mass methanol  = 15.69 x 32.04 / 1 => 502.7076 g

What task can a cell NOT perform on its own?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Thought cannot be performed or produced by a cell as it is devoid of a capable nerve system and hence it does not get any information and thus cannot produce any thought.
