In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.
Answer:
D) CN⁻
Explanation:
Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.
An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.
On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.
According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.
<u>Given:</u>
Change in internal energy = ΔU = -5084.1 kJ
Change in enthalpy = ΔH = -5074.3 kJ
<u>To determine:</u>
The work done, W
<u>Explanation:</u>
Based on the first law of thermodynamics,
ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
the work done by a gas is given as:
W = -PΔV
Therefore:
ΔH = ΔU - W
W = ΔU-ΔH = -5084.1 -(-5074.3) = -9.8 kJ
Ans: Work done is -9.8 kJ
Answer: An alpha-particle is identical to the nucleus of a normal (atomic mass four) helium atom i.e. a doubly ionised helium atom. Alpha particles (also termed alpha radiation or alpha rays) was the first nuclear radiation to be discovered, beta particles and gamma rays were identified soon after.
