The highest energy occupied molecular orbital in the f-f bond of the f2 molecule is _____

Morgarella [4.7K]

The basis of finding the answer to this problem is to know the electronic configuration of Fluorine. That would be: [He] 2s² 2p⁵. The valence electrons, which are the outermost electrons of the atom, are the ones that participate in bonding. Since the highest orbital for F is 2p, that means the highest energy occupied would be 2.

Which choice(s) correctly rank(s) the bonds in terms of increasing polarity?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

(II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity.

Explanation:

Bond polarity is proportional to difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms.

Atoms Electronegativity Bond Electronegativity difference

Cl 3.0 Cl-F 1.0

Br 2.8 Br-Cl 0.2

F 4.0 Cl-Cl 0

H 2.1 H-C 0.4

C 2.5 H-N 0.9

N 3.0 H-O 1.4

O 3.5 Br-F 1.2

I 2.7 I-F 1.3

Si 1.9 Cl-F 1.0

P 2.2 Si-Cl 1.1

Si-P 0.3

Si-C 0.6

Si-F 2.1

So, clearly, order of increasing polarity : O-H > N-H > C-H

So, (II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity

What role do the coefficients serve in a chemical reaction?

dem82 [27]

First one. Coefficients are numbers that balance the equation, just like if there is an equation in math where 1=2, you need to multiply 1 by 2 to make that equation true. That's a nice jingle you can remember.

BH+ClO4- is a salt formed from the base B (Kb = 1.00e-4) and perchloric acid. It dissociates into BH+, a weak acid, and ClO4-, w

Len [333]

Answer:

The pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is 5.44

Explanation:

Given: The base dissociation constant: $K_{b}$ = 1 × 10⁻⁴, Concentration of salt: BH⁺ClO₄⁻ = 0.1 M

Also, water dissociation constant: $K_{w}$ = 1 × 10⁻¹⁴

The acid dissociation constant ( $K_{a}$ ) for the weak acid (BH⁺) can be calculated by the equation:

$K_{a}. K_{b} = K_{w}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{b}}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{1\times 10^{-4}} = 1\times 10^{-10}$

Now, the acid dissociation reaction for the weak acid (BH⁺) and the initial concentration and concentration at equilibrium is given as:

Reaction involved: BH⁺ + H₂O ⇌ B + H₃O+

Initial: 0.1 M x x

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.1 - x x x

The acid dissociation constant: $K_{a} = \frac{\left [B \right ] \left [H_{3}O^{+}\right ]}{\left [BH^{+} \right ]} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(0.1 - x)} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}$
