.What is the effective number of bonds between the sulfur atom and each oxygen atom in the sulfate ion

Chemistry

Answer:

The effective number of bonds in sulfate ion is 1.5

Explanation:

The number of chemical bonds between two atoms is known as the bond order.

In covalent bonds between two atoms, a single bond has a bond order of one, a double bond has a bond order of two, a triple bond has a bond order of three.

If there are more than two atoms in a molecule, the effective number of bonds can be determined by applying the following steps:

1. Draw the Lewis structure.

2. Count the total number of bonds.

3. Count the number of bond groups between individual atoms.

4. Divide the number of bonds between atoms by the total number of bond groups in the molecule.

For the sulfate ion, the resonance structure is shown in the attachment below. From the structure;

Total number of bonds = (2 × 2) + (2 × 1) = 6

Total number of bond groups = 4

Effective number of bonds = 6/4 = 1.5

Therefore, the effective number of bonds in sulfate ion is 1.5

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

low

Explanation:

We were informed in the question that the student had incorrectly recorded the mass of cup + sample as 2.20 g but inadvertently used 2.00 g in the calculations.

This error will cause a slight decrease in the mass of water and ultimately decrease the number of moles of water in the hydrate.

What i am saying is that the number of moles of water obtained in the calculation will be artificially low.

In general, the atomic radius of an atom _______ as you move down a column in the periodic table? increases decreases increases
Tom [10]
Tomic radius INCREASES as you go DOWN a Group because each successive Period (row) has an additional occupied energy level. you can think of it this way: each time you drop down a row, you add a "ring."

How are mass and weight different?
fomenos

Answer:

D. Mass is the amount of matter and weight is the effect of gravity on mass.

Explanation:

Mass is, by definition, the amount of matter that makes up an object. The weight of an object is directly related to the pull of gravity.
