Why do you think lone pairs of electrons create greater repulsion when located near other

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]2 years ago
5 0

When there are lone pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule, the bond angle is decreased.

The shape of molecules depend on the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the molecules. These electron pairs could be lone pairs or bond pairs. Lone pairs occupy more space around the central atom since it is attracted to only one nucleus compared to bond pairs which are attracted to two nuclei.

When lone pairs are present on the central atom in a molecule, they tend to "squeeze" the molecule thereby decreasing the bond angle in the molecule. Hence, presence of one or more lone pairs of electrons make the bond angles get smaller.

An equimolar mixture of acetone and ethanol is fed to an evacuated vessel and allowedto come to equilibrium at 65°C and 1.00 atm
frutty [35]

The question is incomplete, the table of the question is given below

Answer:

I) xA= 0.34, yA= 0.55

ii) 76.2 mole % vapor

iii) Percentage of vapor volume = 98%

Explanation:

i) xA= 0.34, yA= 0.55

 xA= 0.34, yA= 0.55

ii)      0.50 = 0.55 nv + 0.34 nL

     Therefore, nV =    0.762 mol vapor and nL = 0.238 mol liquid

This shows 76.2 mole % vapor

iii)  ρA= 0.791 g/cm3 and,  ρE = 0.789 g/cm3

Therefore, ρ = 0.790 g/cm3

Now, we have:

MA = 58.08 g/mol and ME= 46.07 g/mol

So Ml = (0.34 x 58.08)+[(1 -0.34) x 46.07] = 50.15 g/mol

1 mol liquid = (0.762 mol vapor/0.238 mol liquid) = 3.2 mol vapor

Liquid volume = Vl= [1 mol x (50.15 g/mol)] / (0.790 g/cm3) = 63.48 cm3

Vapour volume = Vv = 3.2 mol x(22400 cm3/mol) x [(65+273)/273] = 88747 cm3

Therefore, percentage of vapour volume = 88747 / (88747+63.48) = 99.9 %

What action would you expect an atom of Aluminum to undergo?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell  

Explanation:

Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.

It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.

It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.

D. is wrong, for the same reason.

A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.

C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.

3. Identify the oxidizing agent in each of the fol-
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Cu

Fe

Explanation:

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

a) Cu²⁺ (aq) + Mg(s) + Cu(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)

Copper is oxidizing agent it accept two electrons from magnesium and oxidize the Mg and itself get reduced.

b) Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(l) + 3CO₂(g)​

In this reaction iron is oxidizing agent because iron itself reduced from +3 to 0.
