Answer:

answer is attached

Explanation:

Benzene is a common organic solvent that was previously used in gasoline; it is no longer used for this purpose, however, because it is now known to be a carcinogen. The benzene molecule (C6H6C6H6) consists of a regular hexagon of carbon atoms, each of which is also bonded to a hydrogen atom. Use resonance structures to describe the bonding in benzene.

Given: molecular formula and molecular geometry

Asked for: resonance structures

Strategy:

Draw a structure for benzene illustrating the bonded atoms. Then calculate the number of valence electrons used in this drawing.

Subtract this number from the total number of valence electrons in benzene and then locate the remaining electrons such that each atom in the structure reaches an octet.

Draw the resonance structures for benzene.

Solution:

A Each hydrogen atom contributes 1 valence electron, and each carbon atom contributes 4 valence electrons, for a total of (6 × 1) + (6 × 4) = 30 valence electrons. If we place a single bonding electron pair between each pair of carbon atoms and between each carbon and a hydrogen atom, we obtain the following:

Each carbon atom in this structure has only 6 electrons and has a formal charge of +1, but we have used only 24 of the 30 valence electrons.

B If the 6 remaining electrons are uniformly distributed pairwise on alternate carbon atoms, we obtain the following:

Three carbon atoms now have an octet configuration and a formal charge of −1, while three carbon atoms have only 6 electrons and a formal charge of +1. We can convert each lone pair to a bonding electron pair, which gives each atom an octet of electrons and a formal charge of 0, by making three C=C double bonds.

C There are, however, two ways to do this:

Each structure has alternating double and single bonds, but experimentation shows that each carbon–carbon bond in benzene is identical, with bond lengths (139.9 pm) intermediate between those typically found for a C–C single bond (154 pm) and a C=C double bond (134 pm). We can describe the bonding in benzene using the two resonance structures, but the actual electronic structure is an average of the two. The existence of multiple resonance structures for aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene is often indicated by drawing either a circle or dashed lines inside the hexagon:

What controls flowering in many<br> plants?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

All flowering is regulated by the integration of environmental cues into an internal sequence of processes. These processes regulate the ability of plant organs to produce and respond to an array of signals. The numerous regulatory switches permit precise control over the time of flowering.

From the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆ , find the number of steps needed to produce a sample of the enriched f
Dafna11 [192]

The number of steps required to manufacture a sample of the 3.0 mole%  ²³⁵U enriched fuel used in many nuclear reactors from the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆. ²³⁵U occurs naturally in an abundance of 0.72% are :  mining, milling, conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication and electricity generation.

<h3>What is Uranium abundance ? </h3>
  • The majority of the 500 commercial nuclear power reactors that are currently in operation or being built across the world need their fuel to be enriched in the U-235 isotope.
  • This enrichment is done commercially using centrifuges filled with gaseous uranium.
  • A laser-excitation-based method is being developed in Australia.
  • Uranium oxide needs to be changed into a fluoride before enrichment so that it can be treated as a gas at low temperature.
  • Uranium enrichment is a delicate technology from the perspective of non-proliferation and needs to be subject to strict international regulation. The capacity for world enrichment is vastly overbuilt.

The two isotopes of uranium that are most commonly found in nature are U-235 and U-238. The 'fission' or breaking of the U-235 atoms, which releases energy in the form of heat, is how nuclear reactors generate energy. The primary fissile isotope of uranium is U-235.

The U-235 isotope makes up 0.7% of naturally occurring uranium. The U-238 isotope, which has a small direct contribution to the fission process, makes up the majority of the remaining 99.3%. (though it does so indirectly by the formation of fissile isotopes of plutonium). A physical procedure called isotope separation is used to concentrate (or "enrich") one isotope in comparison to others. The majority of reactors are light water reactors (of the PWR and BWR kinds) and need their fuel to have uranium enriched by 0.7% to 3-5% U-235.

There is some interest in increasing the level of enrichment to around 7%, and even over 20% for particular special power reactor fuels, as high-assay LEU (HALEU).

Although uranium-235 and uranium-238 are chemically identical, they have different physical characteristics, most notably mass. The U-235 atom has an atomic mass of 235 units due to its 92 protons and 143 neutrons in its nucleus. The U-238 nucleus has 146 neutrons—three more than the U-235 nucleus—in addition to its 92 protons, giving it a mass of 238 units.

The isotopes may be separated due to the mass difference between U-235 and U-238, which also makes it possible to "enrich" or raise the proportion of U-235. This slight mass difference is used, directly or indirectly, in all current and historical enrichment procedures.

Some reactors employ naturally occurring uranium as its fuel, such as the British Magnox and Canadian Candu reactors. (By contrast, to manufacture at least 90% U-235, uranium needed for nuclear bombs would need to be enriched in facilities created just for that purpose.)

Uranium oxide from the mine is first transformed into uranium hexafluoride in a separate conversion plant because enrichment operations need the metal to be in a gaseous state at a low temperature.
