Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.105PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: When free radical
Concept Introduction: Free radicals are the atoms or the molecules having an unpaired electron. These are symbolized by placing a dot on the right of the molecular formula or to the atomic symbol.
Free radical polymerization is defined as the polymerization in which successive addition of molecules takes place with the help of free radicals of the reactants. The free radical reaction, when methane reacts with chlorine molecule in the presence of sunlight is an example of free radical polymerization of methane.

In the solid state, oxalic acid occurs as
a dihydrate with the formula H2C2O4
C+2H2O. Use this formula to
calculate the formula weight of oxalic
acid. Use the calculated formula
weight and the number of moles
(0.00504mol)
of oxalic acid in each titrated
unknown sample recorded in Table
6.4 to calculate the number of grams
of pure oxalic acid dihydrate
contained in each titrated unknown
sample.

Consider a pair of elements with 2p and 4p valence orbitals (e.g., N and Se). Draw their
(2p and 4p AO's) radial probability plots, and sketch their angular profiles. Then, consider these
orbitals from the two atoms forming a homonuclear л-bond. Which element would have a
stronger bond, and why?
