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

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.

What is the conjugate acid in the following equation:
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

HNO₂

Explanation:

An acid is a proton donor; a base is a proton acceptor.

Thus, NO₂⁻ is the base, because it accepts a proton from the water.

H₂O is the acid, because it donates a proton to the nitrite ion.

The conjugate base is what's left after the acid has given up its proton.

The conjugate acid is what's formed when the base has accepted a proton.

NO₂⁻/HNO₂ make one conjugate acid/base pair, and H₂O/OH⁻ are the other conjugate acid/base pair.

NO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HNO₂ + OH⁻

2.50 liter of a gas has a pressure of 165. kPa at 25.0°C. If the pressure increases to 600. kPa and the temperature to 100.0°C,
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

0.861 L

Explanation:

We are given pressure, volume, and temperature, so let's apply the Combined Gas Law:

(P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂

Convert the temperatures to degrees Kelvin.

25.0°C -> 298 K, 100.0°C -> 373 K

Plug in the initial conditions on the left, then the final/new on the right, and solve for the unknown:

(165(2.5))/298 = (600(V₂))/373

V₂ = (165(2.5)(373))/(298(600))

V₂ = 0.861 L

How am I ment to label this diagram
lora16 [44]
I believe you have to label out the positive metal ion and the delocalized electrons. They're the 2 things that makes up a metal structure.

In the diagram, the circles with the + symbol are the positive metal ions, since + represents positive. And the remaining - circles are the delocalized electrons, as electrons are negative.

And for how a metal conducts electricity, since they're delocalized mobile electrons present in any metal structures, they're able to move away from the metal to the positive side of the battery and more electrons can replace their place flowing from the negative side.
