The radius of a lithium atom is 130 picometers, and the radius of a fluorine atom is 60 picometers. The radius of a lithium ion,

Li⁺, is 59 picometers, and the radius of a fluoride ion, F⁻, is 133 picometers.Explain, in terms of subatomic particles, why the radius of a lithium ion is smaller than the radius of a lithium atom.

Answer:

A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.

A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.

A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.

Part iv. Is the neutralization reaction enthalpy favored?
Burka [1]

Yes, it is a special case of enthalpy of neutralization.  

The enthalpy of neutralization (ΔHn) is the change in enthalpy that occurs when one equivalent of an acid and one equivalent of a base undergo a neutralization reaction to form water and a salt.

The standard enthalpy change of neutralization is the enthalpy change when solutions of an acid and an alkali react together under standard conditions to produce 1 mole of water.

If 2,035 cal of heat is added to a 500.0 g sample of water at 35.0°C, what is the final
Lynna [10]

Answer:

39.1 °C

Explanation:

Recall the equation for specific heat:

q=mc \Delta T\\

Where q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat of the substance (in this case water), and delta T is the change in temperature.

You should know that the specific heat of water is 1 cal/g/C.

Using the information in the question:

2035=500(1)(T-35)\\2035=500T-17500\\500T=19535\\T=39.07

The final temperature is about 39.1 °C.

In a liquid, the energy required to increase the surface of the area by a unit amount is called :a.dipole-dipole force. b.viscos
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

D. Surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is defined as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount.

The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:

A molecule in a liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions while molecules at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
