The effective nuclear charge is the amount of charge experienced by an electron taking into account any shielding effects from o

ther electrons. Electrons between the nucleus and the electron of interest cause shielding and reduce the actual charge felt by the electron of interest. The outermost electron of boron experiences a lower effective nuclear charge than carbon. Why?

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases from boron to carbon, but there is no additional shielding( that is no additional shells).

Explanation:

First of all, we must know the electron configuration of carbon and boron.

Boron- 1s2 2s2 2p1

Carbon- 1s2 2s2 2p2

Moving from boron to carbon, the effective nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells. Remember that shielding increases with increase in the number of intervening shells between the outermost electron and the nucleus. Since there isn't an increase in shells, boron experience a lower screening effect.

From

Zeff= Z- S

The Z for carbon is 6 while for boron is 5 even though both have the same number of screening electron S(4 screening electrons). Hence it is expected the Zeff(effective nuclear charge) for boron will be less than that of carbon.

He predicted an element with an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum that he name
skad [1K]

Answer:

Scandium

Explanation:

Mendeleev played an important role in the development of the modern periodic table. His periodic table was filled with gaps. He said that these gaps were elements that were yet to be discovered. He rightly predicted many elements which have now been discovered and fitted in their proper places in the periodic table.

He used the prefix ''eka'' to refer to elements whose properties were alike but were yet to be discovered at that time.

The compound named ekaboron which he predicted to have an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum was later discovered in 1879 and properly named scandium.

For all the chemistry people out there. Explain why Benzene is more stable that 1,3,5-hexatriene? ...?
Triss [41]
Benzene is more stable because it contains a ring and therefore an aromatic compound. On the other hand, 1,3,5-hexatriene, as a straight-chain alkene, is aliphatic. Aromatic compounds in general are more stable than their aliphatic counterparts because pi electrons are part of a conjugated system, meaning they are "shared" amongst all double-bonded atoms.
