Compare the potential energy of two atoms chemically bonded to their potential energy when separated.

Chemistry
1 answer:
ikadub [295]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The essence of chemical bonding is in order to attain minimum energy. The minimum energy state is the most stable state of a chemical system.

As the distance of separation between atoms decreases, the potential energy of the system decreases accordingly.

An optimum distance is reached when the two atoms attain the lowest potential energy. This is designated as the bond distance of the two atoms.

Hence two atoms have lower potential energy when bonded than when separated at large distance.

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.
ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.
