What are the structure of CO2 , NO2+ , OCN- , SCN- ?
Why does CO form a coordinate bond?
How can draw the Lewis Structure of CO?
The electronic configuration of carbon and oxygen atoms as
C6 =1s2 2s2 2p2
O8 =1s2 2s2 2p4
This information can be used to determine the Lewis Dot Structure of Carbon monoxide (CO):
Step 1: calculate total valence electrons for carbon and oxygen atoms.
C = 4
O = 6
Total electrons in CO molecule =10
Step 2: Find octet electrons for each atom , carbon and oxygen
C: 8
O: 8
Total octet electrons =16
Step 3: Find the bonding electrons Subtract total valence electron from total octet electrons
16-10=6 electron (3 bond pair)
Step 4: Find number of bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms by dividing the number of bonding electrons by 2
6-electrons/2 = 3 bonds
Step 5: The rest are non bonding pairs. Subtract bonding electrons from valence electrons .
The Lewis structure of CO is identical with that for HC:::CH except that the C-H bond pair replace by lone pairs.
"CO is also isoctronic with CN-"
How can describe the bonding in PF5 using hybrid orbital?
What is Arrhenius equation ?
The temperature
dependence of rate of a chemical reaction can be accurately explained by
Arrhenius equation. It was first proposed by Dutch chemist J.H.
Vant’s Hoff but Swedish chemist Arrhenius
provides its physical justification and interpretation.
Where
K=
Rate constant
A= Arrhenius constant or frequency
factor or pre exponential factor
R= Universal gas constant =25/3 joule
per mole per second
Ea= Activation
Energy
T= temperature
-Ea/RT= Boltzmann factor or fraction of molecule having equal or greater
than Activation energy or fraction of molecule that have
kinetic energy greater than activation energy.
