Concept explainers

UV Visible Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy refers to the absorption or emission of light or other radiations by matter. When a substance or chemical absorbs light or radiation, they reach an excited state followed by de-excitation or emission of the light or radiation forming distinct spectra. UV-visible spectroscopy or ultraviolet-visible refers to the absorption and emission in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

In a hydrogen molecule, the two hydrogen atoms are held together by a single bond with a bond energy of 436 kJ/mol of hydrogen. In other words, to break the H-H bonds in one mole of molecular hydrogen requires the expenditure of 436 kJ of energy. Using the balanced chemical equation for the formation of water from oxygen and hydrogen (shown above), and interpreting the stoichiometric coefficients as mole amounts, how much energy must be expended in breaking the H-H bonds? kJ

a) Using Valence Bond Theory,NOT VSEPR, thoroughly show how silicon is able to form four identical atomic orbitals available for bonding in the compound SiF4. Be sure todiscuss bond angles/shape. b) Draw and name the correct orbitals involved when a Si atom and four F atoms come together to form SiF4. Your drawing should clearly show “before” and “after” forming the bonds. Draw the orbitals as clearly as you can, but you only have to show the orbitals for ONE of the Si—F bonds being formed -- don’t draw all four.
