Can you use molecular orbital theory to explain why fluorine is such a highly reactive gas?

Chemistry
1 answer:
vivado [14]2 years ago

The F2 molecular orbital diagram shows 4e- are in the highest energy antibonding (destabilizing) molecular orbitals resulting in a bond order = 1.

Single bonds are easier to break and therefore more reactive. So the answer is yes.

Burka [1]

Answer:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, adding additional reactant to a system will shift the equilibrium to the right, towards the side of the products. ... If we add additional product to a system, the equilibrium will shift to the left, in order to produce more reactants.

(there are 2 quetions) how is heat being transfered in:
alekssr [168]

Answer:

  1. Heat energy is transferred from homes by conduction through the walls, floor, roof and windows. It is also transferred from homes by convection. For example, cold air can enter the house through gaps in doors and windows, and convection currents can transfer heat energy in the loft to the roof tiles.
  2. Convection is the heat transfer due to the movement of a fluid, such as a gas or liquid, and carries heat energy away from the source of heat. When a substance is heated, it causes its particles to vibrate more. The more vibration, the more space they will take up and the less dense they will become.

I really hope it helps! ❤

Galaxies are composed of stars, dust, and dark matter, all held together by gravity. Below we discuss galaxy formation, galactic collisions and other facts about these so-called “island universes.” The Milky Way Galaxy is organized into spiral arms of giant stars that illuminate interstellar gas and dust.

Explain why it is important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay aka radioactivity will remain constant over time?
marusya05 [52]

Answer and Explanation:

It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.

If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.

Hope this helps!
