Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the carbon is oxidized or reduced in the given reaction should be identified along with the change in oxidation number of carbon should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Oxidation-reduction reaction is a reaction in which one reactant is oxidized and another is reduced. It is also known as a redox reaction.- Oxidizing agent is a reactant of a reaction which causes an oxidation through accepting electron.
- Reducing agent is a reactant of a reaction which causes a reduction through donating electron.

- 5. The existence of compounds of the noble gases was once a great surprise and stimulated a great deal of theoretical work. Label the molecular orbital diagram for XeF (include atom chemical symbol, atomic orbitals, and molecular orbitals) and deduce its ground state electron configuration. Is XeF likely to have a shorter bond length than XeF+? Bond Order XeF XeF+arrow_forward6. Draw the molecular orbital diagram shown to determine which of the following is paramagnetic. B22+ B22+, B2, C22, B22 and N22+ Molecular Orbital Diagram B2 C22- B22- N22+ Which molecule is paramagnetic?arrow_forward3. Put the following species in order of increasing bond length by using molecular orbital diagrams and calculating their bond orders: F2, F2, F2+ Molecular Orbital Diagram F2 F2 F2+ Bond Order Shortest bond: Longest bondarrow_forward
