Explain why resonance structures are used instead of Lewis structure to correctly model certain molecules

Chemistry
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The bonding in certain compounds or ions can not be thoroughly explained in terms of a single Lewis structure.

The observed properties of the compound or ion indicate that it can not be entirely represented by a single Lewis structure. For example, all C-C bond  in benzene are equal.

When this is the case, a number of structures called resonance structures are invoked in order to satisfactorily explain the properties of the particular chemical specie under study.

What is the last energy level of N? Mg?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

2

3

Explanation:

To infer the last energy of the given atoms, we need to write their electronic configuration:

For N = 1S² 2S² 2P³

     Mg  = 1S² 2S² 2P⁶ 3S²  

The energy levels are usually designated as;

   n = 1

   n = 2

   n = 3

   n =4

For N, the last energy level is 2

     Mg, the last energy level is 3

We can also determine this number by the periods the atoms can be found.

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. suppose we have a 200-mg sample.
Assoli18 [71]
a) To find  the mass after t years:

we will use this formula:

A = Ao / 2^n 

when A =the amount remaining

and Ao = the initial amount

and n = t / t(1/2)

by substitution:

∴ A = 200 mg/ 2^(t/30y)


b) Mass after 90 y :

by  using the previous formula and substitute t by 90 y

A = 200mg/ 2^(90y/30y)

∴ A = 25 mg

C) Time for 1 mg remaining:

when A= Ao/ 2^(t/t(1/2)

so, by substitution:

1 mg = 200 mg / 2^(t/30y)

∴2^(t/30y) = 200 mg  by solving for t

∴ t = 229 y

Which of the following will affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Solute concentration will afect the rate of a chemical reaction, because you must work with molarity

Explanation:

I think that solute mass may be it can affect the rate of reaction, if you have more mass in a solute, you will also have more moles.

If you want to know more, you have to consider temperature in the reaction and the  presence of catalysts. They all, affect reactions.
