QUESTION:
Hydrogenation reactions are used to add hydrogen across double bonds in hydrocarbons and other organic compounds. Use average bond energies to calculate rxn for the hydrogenation reaction.
ANSWER:
Solution:Step-1 + -The electronic configuration of CN , CN and CN ions, can be predicted from its MO electronicconfigurationTotal number of electrons in CN = 6+7=13Hence the electronic configuration = 1s *1s 2s *2s 2p 2 2 2 x2p y 2p z - Total number of electrons in CN ion= 6+7+1=14Hence the electronic configuration = 1s *1s 2s *2s 2p 2 2 2 22p 2 2p 2 x y zTotal number of electrons in CN
