Describe the difference in structure between beH2 and CaH2

Chemistry

Hello!

BeH₂ is a linear molecule, while CaH₂ is an angular molecule.

The difference between these two molecules is given by the number of electrons they have. Be is in the 2nd period of the Periodic table, and the ion Be⁺² doesn't have any free electron pairs when bonding to H. Ca is in the 4 period of the periodic table, meaning that it has more electrons, and the ion Ca⁺² has two free electron pairs when bonding to H that makes the molecule angular by pushing the bonds at an angle by sterical hindrance.  

Have a nice day!

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is because it is believed that the galaxy was once crammed into a tiny spot and the Big Bang explosion sent the universe expanding and galaxies hurtling way into space away from each other. The force from the Big Bang that is believed to cause this expansion is dark energy.

A compound composed of only c and f contains 17.39 c by mass. what is its empirical formula
Ostrovityanka [42]

Since the Carbon C is 17.39% by mass hence the Fluorine F is 82.61% by mass. Divide each mass % by the respective molar masses, that is:

 

C = 17.39 / 12 = 1.45

F = 82.61 / 19 = 4.35

 

Divide the two by the smaller number, so divide by 1.45

 

C = 1.45 / 1.45 = 1

F = 4.35 / 1.45 = 3

 

So the empirical formula is:

Cerrena [4.2K]

Explanation:

Given: \lambda = 8.38\:\text{nm} = 8.38×10^{-9}\:\text{m}

Its frequency \nu is defined as

\nu = \dfrac{c}{\lambda} = \dfrac{3×10^8\:\text{m/s}}{8.38×10^{-9}\:\text{m}}

\:\:\:\:= 3.58×10^{16}\:\text{Hz}

How many liters of 3.0 M NaOH solution will react with 2.4 mol H2SO4? (Remember to balance the equation.)
timurjin [86]

Answer:

1.6 L is the volume of NaOH that has reacted

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄  + 2H₂O

This is a neutralization reaction between a strong acid and a strong base. The products are the correspond salt and water.

We propose this rule of three:

1 mol of sulfuric acid needs 2 mol of NaOH to react to react

Then, 2.4 moles of H₂SO₄  will react with (2.4 . 2) / 1 = 4.8 moles of NaOH

As molarity is 3M, we can determine the volume of our solution

Molarity (M) = mol / volume(L) → Volume(L) = mol / Molarity

Volume(L) = 4.8 mol / 3 M = 1.6 L

Chloe wants to lighten the color of her dark hair, which will require the use of both haircolor and hydrogen peroxide. hydrogen
bearhunter [10]

The answer is developer .

Chloe wants to lighten the color of her dark hair, which will require the use of both hair color and hydrogen peroxide.

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is an example of a most commonly used developer in hair color.

Hydrogen peroxide lighten hair color, as it can dissolve darker pigment. According to the  natural hair color and the length of time a person will leave hydrogen peroxide on  hair,  hair can turn somewhere on the color spectrum between caramel, orange and yellow.
