- Based on average bond enthalpies, would you expect a photon capable ofdissociating a C¬Cl bond to have sufficient energy to dissociate a C¬Br bond?arrow_forwardAn carbon-to-oxygen single bond (i.e. C-O) has a bond energy of 358 kJ/mol and an carbon-to-oxygen double bond (i.e. C=O) has a bond energy of 749 kJ/mol. Estimate the value of the carbon-to-oxygen bond energy in the carbonate anion, CO32— .arrow_forwardWrite the va lence bond wavefunction of a P2 molecule. Why is P4 a stable form of molecular phosphorus?arrow_forward
- In CF3Cl the C—Cl bond-di s sociat ion energy i s339 kJ>mol. In CCl4 the C—Cl bond-dissociation energyis 293 kJ/mol. What is the range of wavelengths of photonsthat can cause C—Cl bond rupture in one molecule butnot in the other?arrow_forwardThe cations O2+ and N2+ are formed when molecules of O2 and N2 are subjected to intense, high-energy solar radiation in Earths upper atmosphere. Write the electron configuration for O2+. Predict its bond order and magnetic behavior.arrow_forward(a) The ionization energy of potassium (K) is 4.34 eV and the electron affinity of chlorine (Cl) is -3.61 eV. The Madelung constant for the KCl structure is 1.748 and the distance between ions of opposite sign is 0.314 nm. On the basis of these data only, compute the cohesive energy of KCl per ion pair. (b) The observed cohesive energy of KCl is 6.42 eV per ion pair. On theassumption that the difference between this figure and that obtained in (a) is due to the exclusion principle repulsion, find the exponent n in the formula Br^-n for the potential energy arising from this source.arrow_forward
- Use the VSEPR method to predict the structure of the CS2 molecule.arrow_forwardA hypothetical covalent molecule, X–Y, has a dipole moment of 1.12D and a bond length of 101 pm. Calculate the partial charge on a pole of this molecule in terms of e, where e is the charge on an electron.arrow_forwardWhat is the biggest difference between the Lewis and the AO-model in terms of the localisation ofelectrons in atoms?arrow_forward
- In a XeF3Br molecule, why is there a difference in bond length between the Xe-F bond and the Xe-Br bond?arrow_forwardHow would you explain the role of electron correlation in the accurate determination of molecular properties, and what is the significance of this correlation in quantum chemistry calculations?arrow_forwardCalculate ΔfH∘(SO3) from the following information in kJ/mol . S(s)+O2(g)⟶SO2(g)ΔrH∘= −296.8 kJ/mol SO2(g)+12O2(g)⟶SO3(g)ΔrH∘= −98.9 kJ/mol Please explain if you can. .arrow_forward
