QUESTION:

Draw an energy diagram for the molecular orbitals of period 2 diatomic molecules. Show the difference in ordering for B2, C2, and N2 compared to O2, F2, and Ne2.

ANSWER:

Solution :(a) Lifting up on the piston to double the volume while keeping the temperatureconstant: At constant temperature, lifting up on the piston to double the volume, will not doublethe gas pressure, as the intermolecular distance is increased and because of which the gasmolecules freely move and the pressure is decreased. This is explained below using ideal gas equation. The volume and pressurerelationship is given by Boyle’s law, but since the temperature is involved here, we will useideal gas equation to explain.Step 1: Consider the ideal gas equation PV = nRT, where. P = pressure. V = volume. n = number of moles. -1 R = gas constant, which is equal to 0.082 L-atm/mol k T = temperature of gas.From the above equation, we could say that, at constant temperature, the volume of givenmass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. It is as below: V 1 P
