Answer:

BHx, x=3

CHx, x=4

NHx, x=3

CH2Clx, x=2

Explanation:

We have to know that the value of x must depend on the valency of the central atom. If we look at each of the species;

Boron has a common valency of 3

Carbon has a common valency of 4

Nitrogen has a common valency of 3

The valency of each elements will determine the most likely value of x as outlined in the answer above.

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu

VikaD [51]

The answer is D.when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells. This is because there are some instances when elements don't possess a regular or normal electron configuration. There are those who have special electron configurations wherein a lower subshell isn't completely filled before occupying a higher subshell. It is best to visualize such cases using the orbital notation.

It takes 839./kJmol to break a carbon-carbon triple bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon tr

Answer:

The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon triple bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 143 nm.

Explanation:

It takes 839 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon triple bond.

Energy required to break 1 mole of carbon-carbon triple bond = E = 839 kJ

E = 839 kJ/mol = 839,000 J/mol

Energy required to break 1 carbon-carbon triple bond = E'

$E'=\frac{ 839,000 J/mol}{N_A}=\frac{839,000 J}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=1.393\times 10^{-18} J$

The energy require to single carbon-carbon triple bond will corresponds to wavelength which is required to break the bond.

$E'=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$ (Using planks equation)

$\lambda =\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{1.393\times 10^{-18} J}$

$\lambda =1.427\times 10^{-7} m =142.7 nm = 143 nm$

$(1 m = 10^9 nm)$

The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon triple bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 143 nm.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by the toy cay would be 19 cm.

The total distance traveled should not be mistaken for total displacement. While displacement measures the distance and direction from the starting position of the toy car relative to its final position, the total distance traveled is calculated by adding all the movements of the toy car together. Hence;

Total distance traveled = 9 + 4 + 6 = 19 cm
