1. a Use the valence electron molecular orbital diagram for F2 to propose ground state F2ions that satisfy the following conditions (1.5 points) (i) A F2 ion that is paramagnetic and that has a non-integer bond order.
(1.5 points) (ii) A F2 ion that is paramagnetic and that has an integer bond order.
(1.5 points) (iii) A F2 ion that is diamagnetic and that has a bond order of 3.

Clearly show the charge on your ion, label all valence molecular orbitals, and show the corresponding electrons in their orbitals. Full calculations for bond orders must be included.

b) Using only the valence electron molecular orbital diagram for F2, is a ground state diamagnetic ion with a bond order of 2 possible? Write one or two sentences to explain why or why not.

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

explanation:

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

the answer is minerals.
