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.

Dr. Terror has developed a new alloy called Ultranomium. He is testing a bar that is 1.25 m1.25 m long and has a mass of 382 g.3
MrRissso [65]

Answer:0.8742j/g°C

Explanation: SOLUTION

GIVEN

length of bar=1.25m

mass 382g

temperature= 20°C to 288°C

Q=89300J

Specific Heat Capacity  will be calculated using

Q=mC∆T

where

C = specific heat capacity

Q = heat

m = mass

Δ T = change in temperature

C=Q/ m∆T

=89300/382X(288-20.6)

=0.8742j/g°C

Fission and fusion are alike in many ways. However, one difference is
Annette [7]

Explanation:

Fusion vs Fission

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium. Both reactions release energy which, in a power plant, would be used to boil water to drive a steam generator, thus producing electricity.
