Which way of representing a molecule best shows its three-dimensional shape?

1 answer:

5 0

The best way to show the three dimensional shape of a molecule is to use the space filling molecular model also called Calotte model. Calotte model is a type of three dimensional molecular model where atoms are arranged in such a way that atoms are represented by coloured spheres which take into account the radii of the real atoms. This model help the students to grasp the manner in which atoms and bonds are arranged in chemical compounds.

I have 2 samples of solid chalk (aka calcium carbonate). Sample A has a total mass of 4.12 g and Sample B has a total mass of 19

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules

Explanation:

M = Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

For the 4.12 g sample

Moles of a substance is given by

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.12}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.0411\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.0411\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

For the 19.37 g sample

$n=\dfrac{19.37}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.193\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.193\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$

$1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}>2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

So, sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules.

The ratio of the elements of carbon, oxygen, calcium atoms, ions, has to be same in both the samples otherwise the samples cannot be considered as calcium carbonate. Same is applicable for impurities. If there are impurites then the sample cannot be considered as calcium carbonate.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Bohr thought that electrons orbited the nucleus in circular paths; whereas in the modern view atomic electron structure is more like 3D standing waves. Bohr built upon Rutherford's model of the atom. ... He believed that electrons moved around the nucleus in circular orbits with quantised potential and kinetic energies.
