Although the earth was formed from the same interstellar material as the sun, there is little elemental hydrogen \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2}\right)\) in the earth's atmosphere. Explain.
Which of following statement(s) is(are) true? a. Phosphoric acid is a stronger acid than nitric acid. b. The noble gas with the lowest boiling point is helium. c. Sulfur is found as the free element in the earth’s crust. d. One of the atoms in Teflon is fluorine. e. The \(P_{4}\) molecule has a square planar structure.
Sulfur forms a wide variety of compounds in which it has \(+6\) \(+4,+2,0,\) and \(-2\) oxidation states. Give examples of sulfur compounds having each of these oxidation states.
Write the Lewis structure for \(\mathrm{O}_{2} \mathrm{F}_{2}\) . Predict the bond angles and hybridization of the two central oxygen atoms. Assign oxidation states and formal charges to the atoms in $\mathrm{O}_{2} \mathrm{F}_{2} .\( The compound \)\mathrm{O}_{2} \mathrm{F}_{2}$ is a vigorous and potent oxidizing and fluorinating agent. Are oxidation states or formal charges more useful in accounting for these properties of $\mathrm{O}_{2} \mathrm{F}_{2} ?$
In the 1950 s and 1960 s, several nations conducted tests of nuclear warheads in the atmosphere. It was customary, following each test, to monitor the concentration of strontium- 90 (a radioactive isotope of strontium) in milk. Why would strontium- 90 tend to accumulate in milk?
