Answer:

An Orbital is best described as the volume of space in which electrons are most often found

Explanation:

As we know atom consists of sub-particles commonly known as protons, neutrons and electrons. The outer space around the nucleus where the probability of finding electrons is maximum is known as orbital. As the electrons are not precisely ordered around the nucleus hence it is not easy to tell the exact position of an electron.

                Hence, four quantum numbers are used to locate the position of electrons around the nucleus.

  i) Principle Quantum Number:

                                                   This number explains the main energy level which tend to increase in energy as the distance of electrons from nucleus are increased. Principle Quantum Numbers are integer number ranging from one to infinity. Hence, increase in this quantum number results in increase of the size of orbital.

  ii) Azimuthal Quantum Number:

                                                     This Quantum Number explains the direction of particular orbital in 3-dimensional space. Also it is responsible for the shape of an orbital.

 iii) Magnetic Quantum Number:

                                                      This Quantum Number also tells the direction of orbital in 3D space with respect to x, y and z axis.

 iv) Spin Quantum Number:

                                              This Quantum Number tells about the spin direction of an electron about its axis which may be clockwise or anticlockwise.

matrenka [14]

Compounds which on dissolving in water gets completely dissociates into its ions are known as strong electrolytes whereas compounds which on dissolving in water gets partially dissociates into its ions are known as weak electrolytes.


Substances which gives solution on dissolving in water and do not dissociates into ions also does not conduct electric current are known as nonelectrolyte.

  • Hydrochloric acid, HCl

On adding HCl (strong acid) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (H^{+} and Cl^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Sodium hydroxide, NaOH

On adding NaOH (strong base) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (Na^{+} and  OH^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Formic acid, HCOOH

On adding HCOOH (weak acid) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions (H^{+} and  HCOO^{-}) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

  • Methyl amine, CH_3NH_2

On adding CH_3NH_2 (weak base) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions (CH_3NH_3^{+} and  OH^{-}) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

  • Potassium chloride, KCl

On adding KCl in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (K^{+} and  Cl^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Ethanol, C_2H_5OH

On adding C_2H_5OH in water, it will not dissociates into ions  and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

  • Sucrose, C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}

On adding C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} in water, it will not dissociates into ions  and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

Which one of the following best represents the predicted approximate chemical shift and coupling:
mezya [45]

Answer:

C. 3.40 ppm, singlet

Explanation:

Given the information from the question .we have to select the best representation for represents the predicted approximate chemical shift and coupling for hydrogen(s). In this case, there is no neighboring hydrogen .Thus there won’t be any split .the best option answer is C. 3.40 ppm, singlet . Therefore the correct answer or option is C. 3.40 ppm, singlet.
