What is penetration? How is it related to shielding? Use the penetration effect to explain the difference in relative orbital en

ergies of a 3p and a 3d electron in the same atom.

Whitepunk [10]3 years ago

Answer: penetration is the ability of an electron in a given orbital to approach the nucleus closely. Shielding refers to the fact that core electrons reduce the degree of nuclear attraction felt by the orbital electrons. Shielding is the opposite of penetration. The most penetrating orbital is the least screening orbital. The order of increasing shielding effect/decreasing penetration is s<p<d<f.

Explanation:

The order of penetrating power is 1s>2s>2p>3s>3p>4s>3d>4p>5s>4d>5p>6s>4f....

Since the 3p orbital is more penetrating than the 3d orbital, it will lie nearer to the nucleus and thus possess lower energy.

A 10.0g sample of H2O(l) at 23.0degrees C absorbs 209 joules of heat. What is the final temp of the H2O(l) sample? Explain.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Final temperature = 28.0 degrees C.

Explanation:

heat absorbed = mass * specific heat * rise in temperature.

The specific heat of water is 4.186 J /g/C so we have the equation

209 =  10 * 4.186 * x   where x is the temperature increase

41.86x = 209

= 5 degrees C.

26 Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:4Al(s) + 3O2(g) ==&gt; Al2O3(s)
dsp73
(2) gains 12 moles of electrons, easy, because it must retain the same mass in a balanced equation, so if there is no exterior mention of any electrons, such as the notation +12e-, than we must assume that the Oxygen took it at any rate.
