Answer:
C + O2 → CO2
Explanation:
C + O2 → CO ----------------- (1)
from equ (1) on reactant side, C has 1 mole, O has 2 moles
from equ (1) on product side, C has 1 mole, O has 1 mole
Thus, to balance the equation, O should have 2 moles
C + O2 → CO2
Answer:
(a) proton
(b) neutron
(c) electron
particles in nucleus are proton and neutron.
atom is electrically neutral because no.of proton= no.of electron=6
Nitrogen atom has a valence electrons of 5 electrons. A full octet or full valence electrons shell is composed of 8 electrons. Hence, an additional of 4 electrons are needed for it to become full. this is achieved by covalent bonding where electrons are shared or ionic bonding where electrons are transferred.
Answer:
Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride
Explanation:
During a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophilie replaces another in a molecule.
This process may occur via an ionic mechanism (SN1) or via a concerted mechanism (SN2).
In either case, the ease of departure of the leaving group is determined by the nature of the C-X bond. The stronger the C-X bond, the worse the leaving group will be in nucleophilic substitution. The order of strength of C-X bond is F>Cl>Br>I.
Hence, iodine displays the weakest C-X bond strength and it is thus, a very good leaving group in nucleophillic substitution while fluorine displays a very high C-X bond strength hence it is a bad leaving group in nucleophilic substitution.
Therefore, the ease of the use of halide ions as leaving groups follows the trend; Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride
