Why do two oxygen atoms form a double covalent bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
elena-s [515]4 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.

How many grams is 2.393 x 10^24 atoms of CI
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

There are 140.9 grams in 2.393*10²⁴ aotms of Cl.

Explanation:

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number represents a quantity without an associated physical dimension, so it is considered a pure number that allows describing a physical characteristic without an explicit dimension or unit of expression. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023*10²³ atoms are contained in 1 mole of the compound, 2.393*10²⁴ atoms are contained in how many moles?

amount of moles=\frac{2.393*10^{24} *1 mole}{6.023*10^{23} }

amount of moles= 3.973

If the molar mass of Cl is 35.453 \frac{g}{mole}, then the amount of mass that contains 3.973 moles can be calculated as:

3.973 moles*35.453 \frac{g}{mole}= 140.85 grams ≅ 140.9 grams

<u><em>There are 140.9 grams in 2.393*10²⁴ aotms of Cl.</em></u>

Answer:

1. They will react.

2. 2HCI + Zn —> ZnCl2 + H2

Explanation:

1. From the question given above,

We can see that Zn is higher than H in the activity series.

NOTE: Elements higher (i.e at the top) in the activity series will displace those lower (i.e at the bottom) in the series. Thus, Zn is higher in the series than H. Therefore, Zn will displace H from solution. Hence, they will react.

2. The product obtained from the reaction can be seen as follow:

HCI + Zn —> ZnCl2 + H2

The above equation can be balance as follow:

There are 2 atoms of H on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HCl as shown below:

2HCI + Zn —> ZnCl2 + H2
