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.

A 2.00 kg piece of lead at 40.0°C is placed in a very large quantity of water at 10.0°C,and thermal equilibrium is eventually re
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Δ S = 26.2 J/K

Explanation:

The change in entropy can be calculated from the formula  -

Δ S = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )

Where ,

Δ S = change in entropy

m = mass  = 2.00 kg

Cp =specific heat of lead is 130 J / (kg ∙ K) .

T₂ = final temperature  10.0°C + 273 = 283 K

T₁ = initial temperature ,  40.0°C + 273 = 313 K

Applying the above formula ,

The change in entropy is calculated as ,

ΔS = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )  = (2.00 )( 130 ) ln( 283 K / 313 K )

ΔS = 26.2 J/K

What would be the greatest difference in using an open ceramic coffee mug rather than an insulated mug with a lid as a calorimet
adoni [48]
The answer is number 4 or the exchange of energy with the surroundings. Calorimetry is a measurement of energy that is formed or absorbed in a certain process. The calorimeter is the instrument used in order to measure the energy. It is recommended that a calorimeter should be a closed system so as to measure precisely the energy and avoid or lessen the exchange of energy with the surroundings. Thus, comparing an open ceramic mug and an insulated mug with a lid, the greatest difference is the energy lost to the surroundings.

The concentration of pb2+ in a solution saturated with pbbr2(s) is 2.14 ✕ 10-2 m. calculate ksp for pbbr2.
Ugo [173]
Concentration = 2.14 âś• 10-2 m 
For [Br-], there are 2 ions so 2 x 2.14 x 10^-2 =4.28 x 10^-2  
Ksp = [Pb][Br]^2 = 2.14 âś• 10-2 x (4.28 x 10^-2 )^2 = 39.20 x 10^-6 
Ksp = 3.92 x 10^-5
