What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the bond between c2 and o in acetaldehyde, ch3cho?

SSSSS [86.1K]

Acetaldehyde is an organic compound (a compound containing C atoms) composed of a carbonyl group. On the other hand, a carbonyl group is a functional group containing C = O. The hybrid orbitals of a compound determines the number pi and s orbitals in the electronic configuration. For a single bond, there are two s orbitals. For double bonds, on the other hand, the number of s orbital bond is 1 while the number of pi bonds is 2. For triple bonds, there are three pi bonds present in the cloud.

Thus for a c = O bond, the atomic orbital configuration is sp3 containing 1 s orbital and 2 pi bonds.

Write the formulas for the following ionic compounds: (a) copper bromide (containing the Cu+ ion), (b) manganese oxide (containi

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:The formulas of ionic compounds are:

a) $CuBr$

b) $Mn_2O_3$

c) $Hg_2I_2$

d) $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$

Explanation:

Formulas for the an ionic compounds is determine by:

Criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

(a) Copper bromide :Given that it contains $Cu^+$ ion.

$Cu^++Br^-\rightarrow CuBr$

(b) Manganese oxide : Given that it contains $Mn^{3+}$ ion.

$Mn^{3+}+O^{2-}\rightarrow Mn_2O_3$

(c)Mercury iodide :Given that it contains $Hg_2^{2+}$

$Hg_2^{2+}+I^-\rightarrow Hg_2I_2$

(d) Magnesium phosphate :Given that it contains $PO_4^{3-}$

$Mg^{2+}+PO_4^{3-}\rightarrow Mg_3(PO_4)_2$

Which of the following describes the electron sharing between hydrogen and fluorine?

EastWind [94]

Hello
We know both the elements involved in bonding are non-metals and the primary type of bonds involved in non-metals are covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share one or more electrons; thus we know that whatever the number of electrons shared, it has to be equal for both. We can eliminate choices A and B.
Next, we understand that it is easier for one atom to be shared among the two, rather than the 7. First, because Hydrogen needs only 1 electron to be stable and would require energy to compensate the remaining 6. Second, electrons are attracted towards the nucleus so it is inefficient to try and share 7 electrons when 1 provides the same amount of stability to Fluorine.
Therefore, the answer is C.

Insoluble sulfide compounds are generally black in color. Which of the following combinations could yield a black precipitate? C

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Li₂S(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq)

2 K₂S(aq) + Sn(NO₃)₄(aq)

Explanation:

For these reactions, the products are:

1. Na₂S(aq) + 2 KCl(aq) → K₂S + 2 NaCl

2. Li₂S(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → PbS + 2 Li(NO₃)

3. Pb(ClO₃)₂(aq) + 2 NaNO₃(aq) → Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2 Na(ClO₃)

4. AgNO₃(aq) + KCl(aq) → AgCl + KNO₃

5. 2 K₂S(aq) + Sn(NO₃)₄(aq) → SnS₂ + 4 KNO₃

K₂S is a soluble sulfide that, in solid state, is white. As K has a low electronegativity, the relative polar bond K-S allows its dissolution in water.

PbS is a black and insoluble compound. As Pb electronegativity is higher than K electronegativity, The bond is less-polar and its dissolution will not be allowed.

For the third reaction, all nitrates are soluble and Na(ClO₃) is also a very soluble compound.

AgCl is an insoluble white compound.

As Sn electronegativity is high, the solubility of this compound is very low. Also, this compound is black!

Thus, combinations could yield a black precipitate are:

Li₂S(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq)

2 K₂S(aq) + Sn(NO₃)₄(aq)

I hope it helps!

3. What is the atomic mass of phosphorous if phosphorous-29 has a percent abundance of 35.5%, phosphorous-30 has a percent abund

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The atomic mass of phosphorus is 29.864 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Atomic mass of phosphorus = ?

Percent abundance of P-29 = 35.5%

percent abundance of P-30 = 42.6%

Percent abundance of P-31 = 21.9%

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) + (abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass / 100

Average atomic mass = (29×35.5)+(30×42.6) + (31×21.9) /100

Average atomic mass = 1029.5 + 1278 + 678.9/ 100

Average atomic mass = 2986.4 / 100

Average atomic mass = 29.864 amu.

The atomic mass of phosphorus is 29.864 amu.
