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.

In a liquid, the energy required to increase the surface of the area by a unit amount is called :a.dipole-dipole force. b.viscos
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

D. Surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is defined as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount.

The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:

A molecule in a liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions while molecules at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.

How does atomic radius (size or atom diameter) affect bond distance (distance between atoms)?
yKpoI14uk [10]
When two atoms of the same element are covalently bonded, the radius of each atom will be half the distance between the two nuclei because they equally attract the electrons. The reason for this trend is that the bigger the radii, the further the distance between the two nuclei. Hope this helps:)

Answer:

F = 30 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of toy train = 1.5 kg

Acceleration of train = 20 m/s²

Amount of force acting on it = ?

Solution:

The net force on object is equal to the its mass multiply by its acceleration.

Formula:

F = ma

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula.

F = 1.5 kg × 20ms⁻²

F = 30 kg.ms⁻²

kg.ms⁻² = N

F = 30 N

What element is reduced in the following reaction?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
 the oxidation states of the elements before and after the reaction is;
Pb oxidation state changes from 0 to +2
SO₄²⁻ ion there's no change in the oxidation state during the reaction
Au oxidation state changes from +3 to 0
reduction reactions are when there's a decrease in the oxidation state of the species 
oxidation reactions are when theres an increase in the oxidation state of the species 
the element where there's a decrease in oxidation state is Au. 
Therefore Au gets reduced.
answer is B) Au
