This is a question in "Chemical Principles, 6th Edition, Steven Zumdahl":
Bond energy has been defined in the text as the amount of energy required to break a chemical bond, so we have come to think of the addition of energy as breaking bonds. However, in some cases the addition of energy can...
Hello PF
Let's say I have a device with three layers, A, B, and C, where layers A and C are the anode and cathode.
I can measure the IV curves from that device easily. Now let's say I added a fourth layer, D, in between A and B. Layer D interacts with layer B such that it increases it's...
Hello everyone.

Average kinetic energy of a molecule is = (3/2)kT
Avg. K.E is directly proportional to temp.(T) only.
As you increase temp of gas then K.E will also increase.
In my book given that,
Average K.E is independent of pressure, Volume or nature of the gas.
When you increase the pressure...

Hello,
I'm working here with a model for a diatomic molecule. The potential is modeled as two finite wells. For a given distance between the wells, the energy of the ground state will be minimized. If you move the "atoms" closer to each other, the energy rises, and if you move them away from...
According to the Molecular orbital theory, diatomic oxygen should have σ2px (internuclear axis) and \pi2py and \pi2pz orbitals filled with two unpaired electrons, one at antibonding \pi2py and the other at antibonding \pi2pz. And of course, the 2s bonding and antibonding orbitals as well...
