Use molecular orbital theory to determine whether f22+ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

We have to know whether F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.

F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic.

If number of unpaired electron in any species is equal to zero, the species is diamagnetic and the species contains unpaired electrons, then the species is paramagnetic.

The magnetic property can be explained using molecular orbital theory.

Total number of electron present in   F₂²⁺ is equal to 16 (i.e, 9+9-2). From the molecular orbital electronic configuration, number of electrons present in pi orbitals present is equal to 2.

So,  F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer : F_2^(2+) is paramagnetic.

Explanation :

According to the molecular orbital theory, the general molecular orbital configuration will be,

(\sigma_(1s)),(\sigma_(1s)^*),(\sigma_(2s)),(\sigma_(2s)^*),[(\pi_(2p_x))=(\pi_(2p_y))],(\sigma_(2p_z)),[(\pi_(2p_x)^*)=(\pi_(2p_y)^*)],(\sigma_(2p_z)^*)

As there are 9 electrons present in fluorine.

The number of electrons present in F_2^(2+) molecule = 2(9) - 2 = 16

The molecular orbital configuration of F_2^(2+) molecule will be,

(\sigma_(1s))^2,(\sigma_(1s)^*)^2,(\sigma_(2s))^2,(\sigma_(2s)^*)^2,(\sigma_(2p_z))^2,[(\pi_(2p_x))^2=(\pi_(2p_y))^2],[(\pi_(2p_x)^*)^1=(\pi_(2p_y)^*)^1],(\sigma_(2p_z)^*)^0

Paramagnetic compounds : They have unpaired electrons.

Diamagnetic compounds : They have no unpaired electrons that means all are paired.

The number of unpaired electron in molecule is, 2. So, this is paramagnetic. That means, more the number of unpaired electrons, more paramagnetic.

Thus, is paramagnetic.

Ascorbic acid (vitaminc.Does not contain a traditional carboxylic acid group, but it is, nevertheless, still fairly acidic (pka = 4.2). Identify the acidic proton and explain your choice using resonance structures, if necessary:

Answers

Let us see the structure of ascorbic acid


As shown there is no COOH group however the OH group can lose a proton and forms conjugate base

The conjugate base formed is stabilized due to resonance

More the stability of conjugate base more the strength of acid

Hence ascorbic acid behaves as an acid

The two reactions above, show routes for conversion of an alkene into an oxirane. If the starting alkene is cis-3-hexene the configurations of the oxirane products, A and B are Product A: _______ Product B: _______ Will either of these two oxirane products rotate the plane of polarization of plane polarized light

Answers

Answer:

Product A and B : (2R,3S)-2,3-diethyloxirane and (2S,3R)-2,3-diethyloxirane.

Explanation:

A double bond is converted to an oxirane through oxidation by peracids e.g. mCPBA (meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid).

Epoxidation can occur at both face of double bond result in formation of two stereoisomers.

Product A and B : (2R,3S)-2,3-diethyloxirane and (2S,3R)-2,3-diethyloxirane

Both A and B contain plane of symmetry. Hence, both the products are achiral. So, they do not rotate the plane of polarization of plane polarized light.
