The average mass of an atom is calculated with the formula:

average mass = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2) + ...  an so on

For the boron we have two isotopes, so the formula will become:

average mass of boron = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2)

We plug in the values:

10.81 = 0.1980 × 10.012938  + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

10.81 = 1.98 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

10.81 - 1.98 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

8.83 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

mass of isotope (2) = 8.83 / 0.8020

mass of isotope (2) = 11.009975

mass of isotope (1) = 10.012938 (given by the question)

What happened to the molecule when the electron was promoted to the antibonding orbital?.
____ [38]

the bond will break

The bond will dissolve (break) if the electron absorbs a photon and is moved from a bonding molecular orbital to an antibonding orbital since there is no longer an overall stabilizing interaction.

<h3>What is an antibonding orbital?</h3>

An antibonding molecular orbital is the molecular orbital created by the destructive overlapping of atomic orbitals.

<h3>Why is it called antibonding orbital?</h3>
  • Every atom will add one electron to the bond that makes up the lower energy bond.
  • To prevent interacting with the other two electrons, the additional electron will occupy a higher energy state.
  • The antibonding orbital is the name of this higher energy orbital.

<h3>What orbitals form an antibond?</h3>
  • The bonding orbitals are home to electrons that spend the majority of their time between the nuclei of two atoms, whereas the antibonding orbitals are home to electrons that spend the majority of their time outside the nuclei of two atoms.

<h3>When an electron was elevated to the antibonding orbital, what happened?</h3>
  • In contrast, putting electrons in antibonding orbitals will make the molecule less stable.
  • The energy levels of the orbitals will determine how many electrons are filled.
  • The lower energy orbitals will be filled first, and then the higher energy orbitals.

The specific silver is How many joules of energy are needed to warm 4.37 g of silver from 25.0 degrees * C to 27.5 degrees * C ?
Alexxandr [17]

0.24J/g*degC * 4.37g * 2.5degC = 2.622J

The 2.5 degC is the difference between 25 and 27.5 deg C.

In the gaseous state, chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule Cl2 (Molar mass = 70.9 g/mol). Calculate the number of moles of chl
kap26 [50]

Cl is stable as a diatomic molecule where the 2 Cl atoms are held together by a covalent bond

molar mass of the diatomic molecule is 70.9 g/mol

therefore 70.9 g of Cl₂ is - 1 mol

then 140 g of Cl₂ is - 1/70.9 x 140 = 1.97 mol

there are 1.97 mol of Cl₂ present
