Why do two oxygen atoms form a double covalent bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
elena-s [515]3 years ago
5 0

A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.

Both 1,2−dihydronaphthalene and 1,4−dihydronaphthalene may be selectively hydrogenated to 1,2,3,4−tetrahydronaphthalene. One of
pochemuha

Answer:

1,4-dihydro = 113 kJ·mol⁻¹

1,2-dihydro = 101 kJ·mol⁻¹

Explanation:

In 1,4-dihydronaphthalene, the 2,3-double bond is isolated from the benzene ring.

In 1,2-dihydronaphthalene, the 3,4-double bond is conjugated with the benzene ring.

Thus, 1,2-dihydronaphthalene is partially stabilized by resonance interactions between the ring and the double bond (think, styrene).

1,2-Dihydronaphthalene is at a lower energy level because of this stabilization.

The heat of hydrogenation of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene is therefore less than that of the 1,4-isomer when each is hydrogenated to the common product, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene.

A gas occupies a volume at 34.2 mL at a temperature of 15.0 C and a pressure of 800.0 torr. What will be the volume of this gas
Grace [21]
The answer is 34.1 mL.
Solution:
Assuming ideal behavior of gases, we can use the universal gas law equation
     P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
The terms with subscripts of one represent the given initial values while for terms with subscripts of two represent the standard states which is the final condition.
At STP, P2 is 760.0torr and T2 is 0°C or 273.15K. Substituting the values to the ideal gas expression, we can now calculate for the volume V2 of the gas at STP:
     (800.0torr * 34.2mL) / 288.15K = (760.0torr * V2) / 273.15K
     V2 = (800.0torr * 34.2mL * 273.15K) / (288.15K * 760.0torr)
     V2 = 34.1 mL

What is opinion definition?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

If your asking for the definition of opinion, it's the belief or judgement of how you see a certain situation, example

  • Ice cream is the best dessert

That's an opinion since it is not a solid statement that everybody in the world would agree on. So it's how you think of something.

Hope this helped and if it did then mark as brainliest! Appreciate it.
