When two atoms combine, the overlap of their atomic orbitals produces molecular orbitals. 
Yanka [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Molecular orbitals are mathematical functions that define the wave behavior of electrons within molecules, always from the point of view of quantum chemistry. Mathematical functions are used to find physicochemical properties, such as the probability of finding the electron in a given space.

So, according to the theory of molecular orbitals, the covalent bonds of the molecules are formed by overlapping atomic orbitals, so that the new molecular orbitals belong to the entire molecule and not to a single atom. During the formation of a bond, the atomic orbitals approach and begin to overlap, releasing energy as the electron of each atom is attracted by the positive charge of the nucleus of the other atom. The greater the overlap, the greater the release of energy and, therefore, the lower the energy of the molecular orbital. If the process of approximation of atoms continues, the atomic nuclei can repel each other, which causes the energy of the system to increase.

With 21 g of Zinc, and 7 g of CuCl2, how much ZnCl2 is made in grams?
mina [271]

Answer: 7.07 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}\times{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} zinc=\frac{21g}{65g/mol}=0.32moles

\text{Moles of} CuCl_2=\frac{7g}{134g/mol}=0.052moles

Zn+CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+ZnCl_2

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of CuCl_2 require 1 mole of Zn

Thus 0.052 moles of CuCl_2 will require=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.052=0.052moles  of Zn

Thus CuCl_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Zn is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of CuCl_2 give = 1 mole of ZnCl_2

Thus 0.052 moles of CuCl_2 give =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.052=0.052moles  of ZnCl_2

Mass of ZnCl_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.052moles\times 136g/mol=7.07g

Thus 7.07 g of ZnCl_2 will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.

What is the gas produced when iron(II) sulfide is treated with a nonoxidizing acid?
Art [367]

Answer:

Hydrogen sulfide

Explanation:

A nonoxidizing acid is the acid which cannot act as oxidizing agent and thus furnish hydrogen ions. Example: HCl

Iron(II) sulfide reacts with nonoxidizing acid, say hydrochloric acid to give rotten egg smelling gas, H₂S (Hydrogen sulfide).

The reaction is shown below:

FeS (s) + 2HCl (aq) ⇒ FeCl₂ (s) + H₂S (g)

A general reaction is also shown below of the reaction of Iron(II) sulfide with any nonoxidizing acid, HX as:

FeS (s) + 2HX (aq) ⇒ FeX₂ (s) + H₂S (g)

Gallionella bacteria can get energy from the reaction fe2+ → fe3+. This reaction is an example of
djverab [1.8K]

The gallionella bacteria  reaction

that is Fe2+ →  Fe3+ is example of  oxidation reaction (answer A)

Explanation

oxidation reaction reaction occurs when electrons are lost during reaction by a molecule or ion or atom. when oxidation occurs  the oxidation state of the molecule or ion or atom increases. For this reason Fe2+ → Fe3+ is a oxidation reaction since the oxidation state move from oxidation state 2 to 3

Most of the earth's volcanoes:
Murrr4er [49]

<em>They mostly occur at boundaries between tectonic plates. They can also be found by a belt called the "Ring of Fire" that encircles the Pacific Ocean. Volcanoes like that can be formed in Hawaii Islands in the part of the interior plate. These areas are known for being called the "hot spots." </em>
