The term _____ is used to describe how well the electron cloud around an atom responds to changes in its electronic environment.

A larger atom will hold its valence electrons _____ tightly than a smaller atom and will therefore have a greater response to the presence of a charged or polar particle nearby.

Answer:

polarizability, less

Explanation:

When any two ions of opposite charge and of different sizes approach each other closely, the cation tries to attracts the outermost electron of other ion and the result is called polarization.

Thus ,the ability of the cation to polarize the nearby anion is known as the  polarizing power of the cation.

It is the measurement of how comfortably or effortlessly the electron cloud gets distorted by an electric field.

The valence electrons of a large size atom is loosely bound and thus they are highly react to the presence of a polar particle or charged particle which lies nearby.

Question 231.15 pts A 0.200 M solution of a weak monoprotic acid HA is found to have a pH of 3.00 at room temperature. What is t
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Ka= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

The ionization of a weak monoprotic acid HA is given by the following equilibrium: HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻. At the beginning (t= 0) we have 0.200 M of HA. Then, a certain amount (x) is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻, as is detailed in the following table:

               HA               ⇄        H⁺        +          A⁻

t= 0      0.200 M                     0                     0

t              -x                             x                       x

t= eq      0.200M -x               x                       x

At equilibrium, we have the following ionization constant expression (Ka):

Ka= \frac{ [H^{+}]  [A^{-} ]}{ [HA]}

Ka= \frac{x x}{0.200 M -x}

Ka= \frac{x^{2} }{0.200 M - x}

From the definition of pH, we know that:

pH= - log  [H⁺]

In this case, [H⁺]= x, so:

pH= -log x

3.0= -log x

⇒x = 10⁻³

We introduce the value of x (10⁻³) in the previous expression and then we can calculate the ionization constant Ka as follows:

Ka= \frac{(10^{-3})^{2}  }{0.200 - (10^{-3}) }= \frac{10^{-6} }{0.199}= 5.025 x 10⁻⁶= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

How to figure out which melting point would have the lowest melting point ?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

That would be helium, with a melting point of 0.95 K (-272.20 °C)—although this happens only under considerable pressure (~25 atmospheres). At ordinary pressure, helium would remain liquid even if it could be chilled to absolute zero.

Why do we have 2 high tides and 2 low tides a day?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Whereas semidiurnal tides are observed at the equator at all times, most locations north or south of the equator experiencetwo unequal high tides and twounequal low tides per tidal day; this is called a mixed tide and the difference in height between successive high (or low) tides iscalled the diurnal inequality.
