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

Chemistry

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.

If you put an egg on a sidewalk on a hot day in July and try to cook it you are using?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Passive solar energy</u></em>

Explanation:

First of all, you must know that you if you put an egg on a sidewalk you are dealing with energy from the Sun, i.e. solar energy, while geothermal energy is energy that comes from the inner of the Earth and biomass energy comes from plant or animal material.

The term passive solar energy refers to the fact that the energy of the sun is used directly for the intended task, which in this case is to cook the egg.

The term active solar energy refers to the fact that the energy of the Sun is converted into a  different form of energy and then used for your purpose. For instance, if the energy of the Sun were used to produce electricity and then this electricity used to cook the egg, you would be using an acitve solar energy.

Analysis of an ore of calcium shows that it contains 13.61 g calcium and 21.77 g oxygen in a 46.28-g sample. Calculate the perce
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

29.41% of Calcium and 47.04% of Oxygen

Explanation:

The percent composition of an atom in a molecule is defined as 100 times the ratio between the mass of the atom and the mass of the molecule.

The mass of the molecule of the problem (Ore) is 46.28g. That means the percent composition of Calcium is:

13.61g / 46.28g * 100 = 29.41% of Calcium

And percent composition of Oxygen is:

21.77g / 46.28g * 100 = 47.04% of Oxygen

Which element has the same number of valence electrons as calcium?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Barium has the same number of valence electrons as calcium

Explanation:

Valence electrons is the number of electrons of an atom on the outer shell.

Those valence electrons can participate in the formation of a chemical bond (if the outer shell is not closed); in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

<u>Calcium</u> is an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.

<u>Sulfur </u>is part of a group 16, called the chalcogens or oxygen family. Those atoms have 6 valence electrons. They can form a bound with atoms of group 2 such as calcium, but do not have the same number of valence electrons.

<u>Potassium</u> is part of group 1, called the alkali metals or lithium family. Those atoms have 1 valence electrons. That means  Potassium do not have the same number of valence electrons like calcium.

<u>Neon</u> is part of group 18, the noble gasses. Those are stable atoms, which means they have 8 valence electrons. They do not have the same number of valence electrons like Calcium.

<u>Barium</u> an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons. Calcium is also part of this group.

This means barium has the same number of valence electrons as Calcium.
