For group 1a metals, which electron is the most difficult to remove?

1 answer:

4 0

The periodic table contains groups and periods that include the elements. For group 1 metal lithium is least likely to lose an electron.

<h3>What are group 1 metals?</h3>

Group 1 metals are the alkali metals that include, Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs. They show the property exhibited by the metals. The chemical trends of group 1 show that cesium loses an electron more easily than the other elements.

When going down the group the tendency to lose electrons increases as the atomic radius increases. The electron gets far away from the nucleus making it easy to get removed.

Therefore, lithium being the first element of the group has the smallest radii and is least likely to lose an electron.

In a 63.17 g sample of SO3, how many grams are sulfur?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

25.30 gram

Explanation:

No of moles = given mass / molar mass

No of moles = 63.17/80.06

0.7890 moles

Mass of sulphar = no of moles× molar mass of sulphar

Mass of sulphur = 0.7890×32.065

Bromine, a liquid at room temperature has a boiling point of 58 degrees celsius and a melting point at -7.2 degree celsius bromi

ra1l [238]

Hello!

Bromine can be classified as a pure substance.

Why?

Bromine is an element with atomic number 35 on group 17 of the Periodic Table. That's the first sign that shows us that it is a pure substance.

But the fact that it has a clear and defined boiling and melting point is a sign that we are in the presence of a pure substance. Pure substances are characterized by defined boiling and melting points.

Mixtures usually have a range of temperatures in which they melt and boil.

Have a nice day!

How is the behavior of electrons in an ionic bond different from the behavior of electrons in a covalent bond?

Valentin [98]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Electrons are transferred in an ionic bond"

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas. The shared electron pair is common to the two atoms and holds them together.

An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.

In conclusion, chemical bonds are made so that atoms can have their entire outer layer, and thus have a stable electronic configuration. In the ionic bond, when the metallic atom has only one electron in its outer layer and the non-metallic one needs an electron to complete its layer; The metallic atom seats its electron to the non-metallic one. In the same way, the electron is shared in the covalent bond in order to achieve equilibrium.

Then, the main differences between the two bonds are that the ionic bond occurs between two different atoms (metallic and non-metallic), while the covalent bond occurs between two equal atoms (non-metallic). And in the covalent bond there is an electron compartment, while in the ionic bond there is an electron transfer.

So, the correct answer is "Electrons are transferred in an ionic bond"

Omg GUYS I NEED HELPPP

27) Partial pressure of oxygen: 57.8 kPa

29) Final volume: 80 mL

30) Final volume: 8987 L

31) Due to property of water of being polar, ice floats on water

Explanation:

27)

In a mixture of gases, the total pressure of the mixture is the sum of the partial pressures:

$p_T = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_N$

In this problem, the mixture contains 3 gases (helium, carbon dioxide and oxygen). We know that the total pressure is

$p_T=201.4 kPa$

We also know the partial pressures of helium and carbon dioxide:

$P_{He}=125.4 kPa\\P_{CO_2}=18.2 kPa$

The total pressure can be written as

$p_T=p_{He}+p_{CO_2}+p_{O_2}$

where $p_{O_2}$ is the partial pressure of oxygen. Therefore, we find

$p_{O_2}=p_T-p_{He}-p_{CO_2}=201.4-125.4-18.2=57.8 kPa$

29)

Assuming that the pressure of the gas is constant, we can apply Charle's law, which states that:

"For an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically,

$\frac{V}{T}=const.$

where

V is the volume of the gas

T is the Kelvin temperature

We can re-write it as

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

Here we have:

$V_1 = 42 mL$ (initial volume)

$T_1=-89^{\circ}C+273=184 K$ is the initial temperature

$T_2=77^{\circ}C+273=350 K$ is the final temperature

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

$V_2=\frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(42)(350)}{184}=80 mL$

30)

For this problem, we can use the equation of state for ideal gases, which can be written as

$\frac{p_1 V_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2 V_2}{T_2}$

where in this problem:

$p_1 = 102.3 kPa$ is the initial pressure

$V_1=1975 L$ is the initial volume

$T_1=25^{\circ}C+273=298 K$ is the initial temperature

$p_2=21.5 kPa$ is the final pressure

$T_2=12^{\circ}C+273=285 K$ is the final temperature

And solving for V2, we find the final volume of the balloon:

$V_2=\frac{p_1 V_1 T_2}{p_2 T_1}=\frac{(102.3)(1975)(285)}{(21.5)(298)}=8987 L$

31)

A molecule of water consists of two atoms hydrogen bond with an atom of oxygen ( $H_2 O$ ) in a covalent bond.

While the molecul of water is overall neutral, due to the higher electronegativity of the oxygen atom, electrons are slightly shifted towards the oxygen atom; as a result, there is a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen side, and a slightly negative charge on the oxygen side (so, the molecules is said to be polar).

As a consequence, molecules of water attract each other, forming the so-called "hydrogen bonds".

One direct consequence of the polarity of water is that ice floats on liquid water.

Normally, for every substance on Earth, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state. However, this is not true for water, because ice is less dense than liquid water.

This is due to the polarity of water. In fact, when the temperature of water is decreased to freezing point and water becomes ice, the hydrogen bondings "force" the molecules to arrange in a lattice structure, so that the molecules become more spaced when they turn into solid state. As a result, ice occupies more volume than water, and therefore it is less dense, being able to float on water.
