LN–222. Knowing that an electron accelerated by an electrical potential of 1 Volt (V)acquires the “energy of 1eV” as kinetic energy, calculate the deBroglie wavelengthfor an electron accelerated by a potential of 15 kV.23. What is the deBroglie wavelength (λ p in m) of an electron in the M shell of a<strong>to</strong>michydrogen?24. For benzene (C 6 H 6 ), which has a schematic carbon arrangement:C CC CC C(a)(b)Determine the <strong>to</strong>tal number and types of covalent bonds.For each bonding type, determine the bonding orbitals which, by overlap,lead <strong>to</strong> their formation.25. Why is double bonding encountered in some carbon compounds, but not ingermanium compounds – although both exhibit sp 3 hybridization?26. One of the two compounds, NH 3 or BF 3 , is found <strong>to</strong> exhibit a permanent dipolemoment. Identify the polar species and account for the different bondingcharacteristics of the two species. (Make appropriate sketches of the respectivebonding configurations.)27. (a) Calculate (according <strong>to</strong> Pauling) the bond energy (kJ/mole) of C–Cl, given:Bond Energy (C–C): 334 kJ/moleBond Energy (Cl–Cl): 239 kJ/mole(b) What is the magnitude (%) of ionicity of the C–Cl bond?28. It takes your lecturer (weight = 174 lbs.) 2 minutes 58 seconds <strong>to</strong> get from hisoffice <strong>to</strong> 10-250. Determine his deBroglie wavelength during that stroll.29. What is the deBroglie wavelength (λ p ) of an electron in the “0” shell of a<strong>to</strong>michydrogen?30. How fast is an electron moving if it has a λ p equal <strong>to</strong> 3 times the distance it travelsin 2 seconds?31. (a) Determine the inter-ionic equilibrium distance between the sodium andchlorine ions in a sodium chloride molecule knowing that the bond energy is3.84 eV and that the repulsive exponent is 8.(b) At the equilibrium distance, how much (in percent) is the contribution <strong>to</strong> theattractive bond energy by electron shell repulsion?33
