Why is it difficult for non metals to form positive ions

Chemistry
2 answers:
pentagon [3]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Because the non-metal comes from the right hand side of the Periodic Table as we face it, its nuclear charge is very poorly shielded by its INCOMPLETE valence electronic shell, and this results in the well-known contraction of atomic radii across the Table from left to right.

Explanation:

Non metals usually gain electrons so they have more electron in the shells than protons in nucleus and hence they form negative ions. However, metals usually lose electron so they have more protons in nucleus than electrons in shells and hence they form positive ions.

Atomic radius- a measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean or typical distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons.
Electron Affinity-the electron affinityof an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released or spent when an electron is added to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion.
Electronegativity-a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.
Lonization energy- qualitatively defined as the amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron, the valence electron, of an isolated gaseous atom to form a cation.

Please helpWhat’s the pH of a solution of ammonia that has a concentration of 0.335 M? The Kb of ammonia is
natta225 [31]

From the calculation, the pH of the solution is 4.85.

<h3>What is the pH?</h3>

The pH is defined as the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution. We have the ICE table as;

         HA    +    H2O ⇔     H3O^+    +    A^-

I       0.335                          0                0

C     -x                                  +x              +x

E   0.335 - x                         x                x

Ka = 1 * 10^-14/Kb

Ka = 1 * 10^-14/1.8 × 10^–5

Ka = 5.56 * 10^-10

Ka = [H3O^+] [A^-]/[HA]

But  [H3O^+] = [A^-] = x

5.56 * 10^-10 = x^2/ 0.335 - x

5.56 * 10^-10(0.335 - x ) =  x^2

1.86  * 10^-10 - 5.56 * 10^-10x =  x^2

x^2 + 5.56 * 10^-10x - 1.86  * 10^-10 = 0

x=0.000014 M

Now;

pH = -log 0.000014 M

pH = 4.85

Which separation technique could be used to separate a mixture based on differnces in boiling point.
makvit [3.9K]
The answer is B! Chromatography involves solvent separation on a solid medium. Distillation takes advantage of differences in boiling points. Evaporation removes a liquid from a solution to leave a solid material

At what temperature (hot or cold) can we dissolve a gas in a solution
professor190 [17]

Depends on the gas and grams of solute. If you were able to give me a gas i would be able to help you but i cannot without the gas or chemical makeup.

Is precipitate in water an electrolyte solution
vagabundo [1.1K]
When no ions are produced, or the ion content is low, the solute is a non-electrolyte. Non-electrolytes do not conduct electricity or conduct it to a very small degree. In an aqueous solution a strong electrolyte is considered to be completely ionized, or dissociated, in water, meaning it is soluble
