Why is oxygen diflouride a gas at room temperature?

Chemistry
1 answer:
atroni [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Oxygen is a simple molecular structure, where individual oxygen atoms are bonded to each other by strong covalent bonds. Hence, a low amount of energy is required to overcome these weak forces and oxygen has a low boiling point. Therefore, at room temperature, oxygen is a gas. Oxygen difluoride is a colorless gas, condensable to a pale yellow liquid, with a slightly irritating odor. It is the most stable of the compounds of fluorine and oxygen, which include O,F,, O,F, and 0,F2 but nevertheless it is a strong oxidizing and fluorinating agent. Oxygen Difluoride is a colorless gas or a yellowish-brown liquid with a foul odor. Just to finally link Joseph's answer to the question, oxygen difluoride will thus change from liquid to solid state when chilled from -220°c to -230°c. The boiling point of oxygen is -182.96 degrees Celsius (under 1 standard atmosphere). This means at temperatures below that point, oxygen is a solid or a liquid, and at temperatures above that point, oxygen is a gas. So at -183 degrees Celsius, oxygen is a liquid.

how can we relate the presence if color in an ionic solution as a characteristic lf electron configuration
Debora [2.8K]
Answer:
Colours come from electrons moving between shells. The energy of light matches the energy gaps between electron shells.
Explanation:
Electrons are arranged in energy levels (shells) and there are energy gaps between shells. Electrons must be in one shell and cannot be in between. Electrons can move from one shell to another in the right conditions.
When an atoms absorbs energy from heat or light, the atom starts to move a little faster, in other words, it gets warmer. If the energy absorbed is just right to match the energy gap between shells, electrons can jump from one shell to another.
If an object is red, then the energy between gaps during light absorption is equal to the energy of the complementary light color, green.
If the object emits red light, then the energy between gaps during light emission is equal to the energy of red light.

T/F: The electromagnetic force holds negatively charged electrons in orbit around thr positively charged nucleus of an atom
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oppositely charged particles attract each other, while like particles repel one another. Electrons are kept in the orbit around the nucleus by the electromagnetic force, because the nucleus in the center of the atom is positively charged and attracts the negatively charged electrons.
