(a)
Interpretation: The energy of interaction (V) is given arrangements, by using Coulomb’s law value to be calculated.
Concept introduction: The Coulomb’s law states that the force between any two charged particles is in direct proportion to the product of their charges and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
To determine: The value of the energy of interaction for the given arrangement.

Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach
- Bromine-containing species play a role in environmental chemistry. For example, they are evolved in volcanic eruptions. (a) The following molecules are important in bromine environmental chemistry: HBr, BrO, and HOBr. Which is an odd-electron molecule? (b) Use bond dissociation enthalpies to estimate rH for three reactions of bromine: Br2(g) 2 Br(g) 2 Br(g) + O2(g) 2 BrO(g) BrO(g) + H2O(g) HOBr(g) + OH(g) (c) Using bond dissociation enthalpies, estimate the standard enthalpy of formation of HOBr(g) from H2(g), O2(g), and Br2(g). (d) Are the reactions in parts (b) and (c) exothermic or endothermic?arrow_forwardLight of appropriate wavelength can break chemical bonds. Light having λ < 240 nm can dissociate gaseous O2. It requires light with λ < 819 nm to dissociate gaseous H2O2 to 2 OH. Assume that all of the photon energy is used solely for these dissociations.

The Madelung constant for the KCl structure is 1.748 and the closest distance between ions of opposite sign is 0.314 nm. On the basis of these data, calculate the cohesive energy of KCl. Compare this with the observed cohesive energy of 6.42 eV for the ion pair and comment on the reasons for any discrepancyarrow_forward
- The bond energy of C2 is 599 kJ/mol, the bond distance is 110 pm. Take a rough estimate of the Coulomb repulsion in doubly ionized C2 (i.e., C22+). How far would the C-C bond have to stretch for the Coulomb repulsion to be less than the bond energy in neutral C2? Do you think that the C22+ molecule will still be stable?arrow_forwardGroup the electronic configurations of neutral elements in sets according to those you would expect to show similar chemical properties. Note that as long as the configurations are grouped correctly with regard to each other, it does not matter which set you assign to each group.
