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.

Stellar fusion produces atoms up to and including ___________ Question 51 options: Helium (atomic number 2) Carbon (atomic numbe
Ganezh [65]
<h2>Iron (Z = 26)</h2>

Explanation:

  • Stellar fusion is the nuclear reaction that occurs in stars.
  • In this reaction, the nuclei build to form heavier elements.
  • Stars fuse elements of lighter ones to heavier ones
  • This fusion reaction occurs in their cores.
  • During this process, a lot of energy is released.
  • This process is also known as stellar nucleosynthesis as there is a synthesis of the different nucleus.
  • Stellar fusion produces lighter elements of many types including iron(Fe) and nickel(Ni) in many of the giant stars.
  • These elements remain trapped in the cores of stars.

You've just solved a problem and the answer is the mass of an electron, me=9.11×10−31 kilograms. How would you enter this number
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The answer is the same as 9.11x10-31kg which is the mass of an electron,

Explanation:

The mass of an electron expressed in standard form is 9.11x10-31, which is the same thing as 0.000000000000000000000000000000911, while the former looks compact and easier to understand, the latter is clumsy,

The concept of three significant figures mean, three non-zero figures, in other words, provide your answer in an approximate form using three figures apart from zero, so you would try to express your answer in such a way that the first digit in your answer is not zero, in this case, its a "nine" - "9", and the other two significant figures are "1" and "1".

Silver nitrate solution reacts with calcium chloride solution according to the equation: 2 AgNO3 + CaCl2 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2 AgCl All
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

14.33 g

Explanation:

Solve this problem based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.

To do that we need the molecular weight of the masses involved and then calculate the number of moles, find the limiting reagent and  finally calculate the mass of AgCl.

                      2 AgNO₃   + CaCl₂    ⇒   Ca(NO₃)₂   + 2 AgCl

mass, g                  6.97        6.39                                     ?

MW ,g/mol         169.87      110.98                                  143.32

mol =m/MW           0.10         0.06                                    0.10

From the table above AgNO₃ is the limiting reagent and we will produce 0.10 mol AgCl which is a mass :

0.10 mol x 143.32 g/mol = 14.33 g
