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.

The valences of metal x,y and z are 1,2 and 3 respectively. What are the formulae of their;a) hydroxides, b) sulphates, c) hydro
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

AS we know that the valence for those metals X, Y, and Z are 1, 2 and 3, we can determine the formula of each compound.

1. Hydroxides.

An hydroxide is formed when an oxyde of a metal reacts with water. When this happens, the general molecular formula is:

Meₐ(OH)ₙ

Where:

a: valence or charge of the hydroxide (Which is -1)

n: valence of the metal.

Following this, the formula for X, Y and Z would be:

XOH

Y(OH)₂

Z(OH)₃

2. Sulphates

Sulphates follow a similar rule of hydroxide in the general molecular formula, but instead of having a charge of -1, it has a charge of -2 so:

Mₐ(SO₄)ₙ

So, following the rule:

X₂SO₄

Y₂(SO₄)₂ ------> YSO₄

Z₂(SO₄)₃

3. Hydrogens

Following the same rule as the previous, hydrogens works with a charge of -1, so:

MₐHₙ

Then:

XH

YH₂

ZH₃

4. Carbonates.

This follows the same rule as sulphates, with the same charge so:

Mₐ(CO₃)ₙ

Then:

X₂CO₃

YCO₃

Z₂(CO₃)₃

5. Nitrates

Follow the same rule as the hydroxides, with the same charge of -1.

Mₐ(NO₃)ₙ

Then:

XNO₃

Y(NO₃)₂

Z(NO₃)₂

6. Phosphates

In the case of phosphates, these have a charge of -3 so:

Mₐ(PO₄)ₙ

Then:

X₃PO₄

Y₃(PO₄)₂

Z₃(PO₄)₃ ----> ZPO₄

Hope this helps
