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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]2 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.

There are 3 significant figures. Significant numbers are the numbers that build up your total number. 1-9 always count, 0 only counts if it’s after another number. For example: 0,901 has 3 significant numbers as does 0,910. 9,10 also has 3. 0,09 has just 1.

To investigate the reactivity of metals a student uses four metals. Each time they added 1 g of the metal to 25 cm³ of sulfuric
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Volume of the sulfuric acid (25cm³), same mass of each metal (1g)

Explanation:

In an experiment, the CONTROL VARIABLE also known as constant is the variable that is kept unchanged for all groups in an experiment. This is done in order not to influence the outcome of the experiment.

In this case, students are trying to investigate the reactivity of four different metals. They added 1 g of each metal to 25cm³ of sulfuric acid and recorded the temperature change. Based on the explanation of control variable above, the VOLUME OF SULFURIC ACID (25cm³) and the MASS OF EACH METAL (1g) are the CONTROL VARIABLES because they are the same or unchanged in this experiment.

What does the rf value describe on a microscopic level why is this important?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: The retention factor describes the rate at which a compound migrates on a microscopic level.

The retention factor (Value) serves as a simple measurement of the relative binding of the compound of interest under the experimental conditions.

Retention factor values are used in identification purposes;

• Use to determine the affinity of the solute to the solvent

• Greater retention factor means greater affinity of solute to the solvent
