Does the minimization of electron-electron repulsions correlate with Hund's rule?
Three of the four molecular orbitals for cyclobutadiene are pictured here. Place them in order of increasing energy. (See Figures 9.13, 9.15, 9.16, and 9.18 and the relation of orbital energy and nodes.)
Consider any one of the four identical hybrid orbitals in the 109.5° set. a. What fraction of the clay in this hybrid orbital was originally red (carne from the 2s orbital)? b. What fraction of the clay in this hybrid orbital was originally green (carne from a 2porbital)? c. Explain the name “ s(1/4)p(3/4) hybrid orbital” for each of the four orbitals. d. In fact, each of the four hybrid orbitals in the 109.5° set is called an sp3 -hybrid orbital.Explain the name “ sp3 -hybrid orbital.”
True or false: Boron contains 2s22p1 valence electrons, so only one p orbital is needed to form molecular orbitals.
Molecular formula. Molar mass (g.mol-1). ΔcH0 (kJ.mol-1) Petrol C8H18 * 114 - 5470 Diesel C20H42 * 282 - 8090 Natural gas. CH4 16 - 890 Hydrogen. H2 2 - 286 Methanol. CH3OH 32 - 726 *Petrol and diesel are complex mixtures of hydrocarbons. On average, their properties resemble those of C8H18 and C20H42, respectively. 1.1) Calculate the energy density (in kJ.g-1) for all the fuels in the table above. Use the molar masses supplied in the table. 1.2) Why would you say that Space Shuttles rather use hydrogen as its primary fuel source instead of one of the other fuels in the table? 1.3) Formula 1 racing cars use petrol as their fuel source. In the USA, “Indy cars” use methanol as fuel source and in South Africa farmers use diesel as fuel source for their tractors. If all these motors perform equally optimally, which vehicle is the most fuel efficient? Give a reason for your answer.
