Does Na2 gas posses metallic character? Explain your answer..​

Chemistry
1 answer:
alisha [2.7K]28 days ago

Clarification:

The Na2 molecules comprise atoms that are connected by a purely covalent bond since both atoms have the same electronegativity.

Metallic bonding only manifests when several atoms cluster together. Such aggregates may not tend to be stable, as larger masses of material typically exhibit greater stability thermodynamically. Therefore, they often merge until a significant metal chunk is formed.

In some ways, metallic bonding can be considered a variant of covalent bonding, but it is more communal—delocalized across numerous atoms—and electron deficient (there are more energy states than available electrons, which contributes to conductive traits). This implies that the term “metallic bond” might appear contradictory, akin to referring to a forest with a single tree.

The electron configuration of an element is 1s22s22p4. Describe what most likely happens when two atoms of this element move tow
castortr0y [2727]

Answer:

Cuando dos átomos se acercan entre sí, se genera un compuesto al compartir pares de electrones que cada uno de los átomos aporta, permitiéndoles alcanzar los 8 electrones de valencia (octeto) en su capa externa.

Explanation:

La configuración electrónica del elemento puede escribirse de la siguiente manera;

1s²2s²2p⁴

La configuración electrónica dada es equivalente a la del oxígeno, por lo tanto, tenemos;

El número de electrones en la capa de valencia = 2 + 4 = 6 electrones

Por consiguiente, cada átomo necesita 2 electrones para completar sus 8 electrones (octeto) en la capa externa.

Al acercarse los dos átomos, reaccionan y se combinan para formar un compuesto al compartir 4 electrones, 2 de cada átomo, de modo que cada átomo obtenga 2 electrones adicionales en su órbita externa en el nuevo compuesto y así se logre la configuración estable de octeto para cada uno de los átomos en el compuesto recién formado.

Compounds A and B are colorless gases obtained by combining sulfur with oxygen. Compound A results from combining 6.00 g of sulf
lorasvet [2504]

Answer:

1.5

Explanation:

It is given that:

Compound A and B originate from Sulfur + Oxygen.

Compound A:

6g sulfur + 5.99g Oxygen

Compound B:

8.6g sulfur + 12.88g oxygen

By comparing the ratios:

Compound A:

S: O = 6.00: 5.99

S/0 = 6.0g S / 5.99g O

Compound B:

S: O = 8.60: 12.88

S / O = 8.60g S / 12.88g O

The mass ratio of A and that of B

(6.0g S / 5.99g O) ÷ (8.60g S / 12.88g O)

(6.0 g S / 5.99g O) × (12.88g O / 8.60g S)

(6 × 12.88) / (5.99 × 8.60)

= 77.28 / 51.514

= 1.50017

= 1.5

In basic solution, se2− and so32− ions react spontaneously and e o cell = 0.35 v. (a) write the balanced half-reactions for this
lions [2633]

(a)   Write the balanced half-reactions for the overall process:

Oxidation: Se^2- (aq) → Se (s) + 2e-

Reduction: 2So3^2- (aq) + 3H2O (l) + 4e- → S2O3^2- + 6OH- (aq)

(b)   Assuming E sulfite is 0.57 V, compute E selenium:

E anode = E cathode – E cell

= -0.57 – 0.35

= -.092

A sample of helium gas has a volume of 0.180L, a pressure of 0.800a and a temperature of 29 C. What is the new temp or gas of vo
Anarel [2593]

Solution:

The gas's new temperature is 604K

Justification:

Assuming standard temperature and pressure, we can determine the gas's temperature using the ideal gas law;

Step 1: Formulate the general gas law equation

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Step 2: Insert the values, converting as needed to standard units.

P1 = 0.800 atm

V1 = 0.180 L

T1 = 29°C = 273 + 29 = 302K

P2 = 3.20 atm

V2 = 90 mL = 90 * 10^-3 L = 0.09 L

Step 3: Solve for T2

The new gas temperature T2 is calculated as:

T2 = P2V2T1/(P1V1)

T2 = 3.20 * 0.09 * 302 / (0.800 * 0.180)

T2 = 86.976 / 0.144

T2 = 604K

The gas's new temperature is 604K.

An oxygen atom has a mass of and a glass of water has a mass of . Use this information to answer the question below. Be sure you
VMariaS [2683]

Answer:

Number of moles of oxygen atoms that weigh the same as a glass of water = 3.12 moles

Note: This question lacks certain figures. Below is a complete similar question.

An oxygen atom weighs 2.66*10^-23 g and a glass of water weighs 0.050 kg. What is the weight of one mole of oxygen atoms? Round your result to three significant figures. How many moles of oxygen atoms have a weight equal to the weight of a glass of water? Round your answer to two significant figures.

Explanation:

One mole of a substance comprises the Avogadro number of particles, which is 6.02 * 10²³.

Hence, one mole of oxygen atoms contains 6.02*10²³ atoms.

Weight of a single oxygen atom = 2.66*10⁻²³ g

Weight of one mole of oxygen atoms = weight of a single atom multiplied by the number of atoms in one mole.

Weight of one mole of oxygen atoms = 2.66*10⁻²³ g * 6.02*10²³ = 16.01 g

A glass of water weighs = 0.050 kg or 50 g.

To calculate how many moles of oxygen atoms weigh the same as a glass of water (i.e., 50 g), the following formula is applied;

number of moles = mass/molar mass

mass of oxygen atoms = 50 g, molar mass or weight of one mole of oxygen atoms = 16.01 g

Thus, the number of moles of oxygen atoms = 50 g / 16.01 g = 3.12 moles
