AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around evaluating the truth of various statements regarding a specific molecule. The bond between carbon and nitrogen is identified as the strongest due to being triple bonded, making statement (a) true. Statement (b) is deemed false as the C-C bond is only single bonded. Statement (c) is considered true, with the C=O bond being more polar than the C-C bond, though clarification is sought on the term "even distribution." Statement (d) is false, as the polarity of the C=C bond compared to C-H bonds may depend on the molecule's structure, which is not fully available.

Which of the following are true statements about the above molecule ?

a) The bond between carbon and nitrogen should be the strongest bond in the molecule

b) The C-C bond should be the strongest bond in the molecule

c) The C=O bond is more polar than the C-C bond

d) The C=C bond is more polar than any of the C-H bonds


Homework Equations


No equations are required.


The Attempt at a Solution


Attempt:
a - True, since the bond between carbon and nitrogen is triple bonded.
b - False, only single bonded
c - True - Even distribution?
d - False - Uneven distribution?

Thank you, please help me clarify my answer. I made attempts yet I am not sure. :)

Good to here,even without the deleted link.

I have no idea what you mean "even distribution."

The answer to this question may depend upon the structure which is not available (blocked/deleted link).
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
