Consider carbon allotropes diamond and graphite. Unlike diamond, graphite conducts electricity. Why? 1. In graphite, there are hybrid orbitals used for bonding that contain electrons. 2. In diamond, all the electrons are in sigma bonds which allow conductivity of electricity. 3. In graphite, there are unhybridized p- orbitals that extend over the entire sheet forming a delocalized pi (1) bonding network where electrons are free to move. 4. In diamond, the bonding electrons have enough energy to move and can therefore conduct electricity. 5. In graphite, the bonds are 109°, which is perfect for electricity conduction.

Which would you expect to have the highest melting point? 1. RbCl 2. KCI 3. They have the same melting point Because 4. The internuclear distance is smaller; therefore, the force is stronger and requires more energy to overcome. 5. The charge is higher; therefore, interactions are stronger and require more energy to overcome. 6. They have the same charge and internuclear distance; therefore, interactions are of the same strength and require the same amount of energy to overcome.

please dumb down the answer so it’s easy to understand
#10 Just for me to understand please describe the VSEPR theory and explain me how is use. How and why it can determine geometries? What’s the relations to the Lewis structure. Also can you use CO2 to explain the theory. Thank you
1. The model of the sulfate ion can be correctly made starting with a Lewis structure that has four single bonds or it can be made with two single and two double bonds. a. Draw both Lewis structures b. Assign formal charges to all atoms. c. Show the best approximation of the resonance hybrid. d. X-ray crystallography tells us that all four bonds in sulfate are the same length. All four bonds are shorter than single bonds. Does this agree with the resonance hybrid? Explain. e. Do you expect sulfate to be polar? Explain your answer.

In reference to the following figure, which of the following statements is not true? a. The bond in the hydrogen molecule is formed by the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals. b. The overlap of electron waves represented by the atomic orbitals may result in constructive (in-phase) or destructive (out-of-phase) interference. c. In-phase overlap between two 1s orbitals results in a new orbital having higher energy than either of the s orbitals. This new orbital concentrates the electron probability between the two nuclei. d. Out-of-phase overlap between two 1s orbitals results in a new orbital having higher energy than either of the s orbitals. This new orbital places most of the electron probability to the left and right of the two nuclei. e. All of the above statements are true.
