How does the electron-cloud model describe electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sav [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. An electron has a high probability of being in certain regions.

Explanation:

In the electron cloud model, there are no electron-orbits around the nucleus but a cloud. This cloud has various densities with respect to distance from the nucleus. The most dense region of the cloud (which is the region close to the nucleus) is where electrons has the highest probability of existence.

The model explains that an electron a greater chance of being in the region closer to the nucleus. Thus, an electron has a high probability of being in certain region of the cloud about the central nucleus. And an electrostatic force exists between the nucleus and the electrons.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

iodine

Explanation:

<em>The substance that can break easily from the list of substances is the </em><em>iodine</em><em>.</em>

<u>Iodine exists as a molecular solid and hence, the molecules are held together by weak Van Der Waal's forces. Iodine thus has characteristic properties of typical molecular solids which include being able to be broken into pieces easily (brittle), low melting and boiling points, insolubility in water, among other properties.</u>

The characteristics of iodine are unlike sodium, calcium, and copper that exist as metal which is hard, tough with high tensile strengths.

How much heat energy would be needed to raise the temperature of a 223 g sample of aluminum [(C=0.895 Jig Cy from 22.5°C to 55 0
dsp73

Answer : The heat energy needed would be, 6486.5125 J

Explanation :

To calculate the change in temperature, we use the equation:

q=mc\Delta T\\\\q=mc(T_2-T_1)

where,

q = heat needed = ?

m = mass of aluminum = 223 g

c = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 0.895J/g^oC

\Delta T = change in temperature

T_1 = initial temperature = 22.5^oC

T_2 = final temperature = 55.0^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=223g\times 0.895J/g^oC\times (55.0-22.5)^oC

q=6486.5125J

Therefore, the heat energy needed would be, 6486.5125 J

How does electron repulsion determine molecular shape?
NARA [144]
The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that electron pairs repel each other whether or not they are in bond pairs or in lone pairs. ... The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons

A reaction product mixture containing hydrocarbons in diethyl ether is washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (brine) sol
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Option A. This step is to remove water from the ether layer.

Explanation:

When the goal of an experiment is to conduct a reaction and isolate the product, it is referred to as work-up. The work-up refers to method aimed at purifying the material and most commonly occur in a separatory funnel. Solutions are added to the funnel to either extract or wash the mixture with the goal of isolating the product from excess reagents, catalysts, solvent, side product that may arise from side reactions.

Common washes include: Water, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Carbonate, saturated sodium chloride (brine).

When an organic layer ( e.g. diethyl ether, ethyl acetate) is washed with brine, the purpose of the wash is to REMOVE LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER that may be dissolved in the organic layer.

Brine works to remove water from an organic layer because it is highly concentrated (since Sodium Chloride is highly water soluble. Therefore, the most likely reason for washing a reaction product mixture containing hydrocarbons in diethyl ether with with brine solution in a separatory funnel is to remove the water from the ether layer.
