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!

Dmitry [639]

the answer to your question is

Delocalized electrons move freely from atom to atom forming what is known as a sea of electrons. This sea of electrons can absorb part of the impacts avoiding that the structure of the atoms be broken, so the mass of metal is re-shaped in contrast of what happen with the cristal structure of salts, for example.

What volume in<br><br> L<br><br> of a 0.724 M Nal solution contains 0.405 mol of Nal ?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

0.5594\ \text{L}

Explanation:

Mol of NaI = 0.405 mol

Molarity of solution = 0.724 M

Molarity is given by

M=\dfrac{\text{mol}}{\text{Volume of solution in }NaI}\\\Rightarrow \text{Volume of solution in }NaI=\dfrac{0.405}{0.724}\\\Rightarrow \text{Volume of solution in }NaI=0.5594\ \text{L}

The required volume is 0.5594\ \text{L}.

Calculate the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 135.0 g of water from 50.4°F to 85.0°F. The specific heat of
MAXImum [283]

Here we have to calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 85.0 ⁰F to 50.4 ⁰F.

10.857 kJ heat will be needed to raise the temperature from 50.4 ⁰F to 85.0 ⁰F

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature can be obtained from the equation H = m×s×(t₂-t₁).

Where H = Heat, s  =specific gravity = 4.184 J/g.⁰C, m = mass = 135.0 g, t₁ (initial temperature) = 50.4 ⁰F or 10.222 ⁰C and t₂ (final temperature) = 85.0⁰F or 29.444 ⁰C.

On plugging the values we get:

H = 135.0 g × 4.184 J/g.⁰C×(29.444 - 10.222) ⁰C

Or, H = 10857.354 J or 10.857 kJ.

Thus 10857.354 J or 10.857 kJ heat will be needed to raise the temperature.
