Using the molecular orbital model to describe the bond- ing in F2????, F2, and F2????, predict the bond orders and the relative

masya89 [10]

Answer: F2 : bond order= 1.0

F2+: bond order = 1.5

F2- : bond order = 0.5

Explanation:

1. Starting with F2+

The configuration gives;

F2+ = 9F = 1S2.2S2.2P5

= 9F+ = 1S2.2S2.2P4 (this shows it gives out an electron)

Electronic configuration = σ 1S2σ*1S2σ2S2σ*2S2σ2Pz2 π2Px2 = π2Py2 π*2Px2 = π*2Py1

The number of Electrons = (9*2) – 1 = 18 -1 = 17

Bonding electrons (Nb) = 10

Antibonding electrons (Na) = 7

Bond order = (10-7)/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

Number of unpaired electrons = 1

2. Starting with F2

The configuration gives;

F2 = 9F = 1S2.2S2.2P5

9F = 1S2.2S2.2P5 (this shows no loss of an electron)

Electronic configuration = σ 1S2σ*1S2σ2S2σ*2S2σ2Pz2 π2Px2 = π2Py2 π*2Px2 = π*2Py2

The number of Electrons = (9*2) = 18 electrons

Bonding electrons (Nb) = 10

Antibonding electrons (Na) = 8

Bond order = (10-8)/2 = 2/2 = 1.0

Number of unpaired electrons = 0

3. Starting with F2-

The configuration gives;

F2- = 9F = 1S2.2S2.2P5

10F--= 1S2.2S2.2P6 (this shows an addition of an electron)

Electronic configuration = σ 1S2σ*1S2σ2S2σ*2S2σ2Pz2 π2Px2 = π2Py2 π*2Px2 = π*2Py2 σ*2Pz

The number of Electrons = (9*2) + 1 = 19 electrons

Bonding electrons (Nb) = 10

Antibonding electrons (Na) = 9

Bond order = (10-9)/2 = 1/2 = 0.5

Number of unpaired electrons = 1

To get the order of bond as well as length, we know that;

Bond order directly proportional to 1/ Bond length

Therefore the Ascending Bond length = F2+ ˂ F2 ˂ F2-

What term describes the process of lowering the boiling point of a hydrocarbon by exposing it to different environmental treatme

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Cracking.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound. An example of a chemical reaction involving hydrocarbons is cracking.

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only.

In Organic chemistry, cracking refers to the process of lowering the boiling point of a heavy, complex or long-chain hydrocarbon such as kerogens by exposing it to different environmental treatments such as hydrogen enriched catalysts, pressure or high temperatures, in order to produce smaller, lighter and more useful molecules (alkanes and alkenes) such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.

The following unbalanced equation illustrates the overall reaction by which the body utilizes glucose to produce energy: C6H12O6

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

the conversion factor is f= 6 mol of glucose/ mol of CO2

Explanation:

First we need to balance the equation:

C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l) (unbalanced)

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) (balanced)

the conversion factor that allows to calculate the number of moles of CO2 based on moles of glucose is:

f = stoichiometric coefficient of CO2 in balanced reaction / stoichiometric coefficient of glucose in balanced reaction

f = 6 moles of CO2 / 1 mol of glucose = 6 mol of glucose/ mol of CO2

f = 6 mol of CO2/ mol of glucose

for example, for 2 moles of glucose the number of moles of CO2 produced are

n CO2 = f * n gluc = 6 moles of CO2/mol of glucose * 2 moles of glucose= 12 moles of CO2
