Pure substance- a material that has constant composition. It has distinct chemical properties.
Element- a substance that cannot be broken down into any other substances.
Compound- substance made up of two or more different elements.

The quantum numbers for the last electron placed in three elements are listed below. Which of these is(are) NOT correct? Er (4 3
UNO [17]

Answer:

The three elements Erbium, Thallium and Osmium have incorrect quantum numbers for the last electron placed.

Explanation:

The 4 quantum numbers are (<em>n,l,ml,ms</em>):

  • <em>n</em> (Principal quantum number): it is the <u>number of the shell (level)</u> where the electron is placed.
  • <em>l </em>(Angular momentum quantum number or Secondary): it represents the <u>sublevel where the electron is</u> placed. There are 4 subleves: s, p d and f so secondary quantum number can take the number 0 (s), 1 (p), 2 (d) or 3 (f) depending on which sublevel the electron is placed.
  • <em>ml</em> (Magnetic quantum number):  it represents the <u>spatial orientation</u> of the electron <u>in respect of the sublevel the electron</u> is placed. For example: if the electron occupies the <em>s sublevel</em> the magnetic number will be <em>0</em>, if the electron occupies the <em>p sublevel</em> the magnetic number could be <em>-1,0,1</em>, if the electron occupies the <em>d sublevel</em> the magnetic number could be <em>-2,-1,0,1,2</em> and if the electron occupies the <em>f sublevel</em> the magnetic number could be <em>-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3</em>. You can see this in the attachment related to the correct sublevel for the example.
  • <em>ms</em> (Spin quantum number): this number represents the possible rotation of the electron so it could be 1/2 (which is represented by an up arrow) or -1/2 (represented by an down arrow).

Let's analyze the last electron of each element. You can see the attachment for better understanding. The last electron it is represented with orange color.

- Erbium:

This element has 68 electrons so following the Moeller's Diagram to fill the the electronic configuration, we found that the last electron of Erbium it is in the <u>4th level </u>(shell), in the <u>f sublevel</u>. As Erbium has 12 electrons in the f sublevel, it is necessary to follow the Hund's rule (electrons must be placed singly in every sublevel before place a parallel electron) to placed correctly all of them. Finally, the last electron of Erbium stays in the middle of the sublevel and it is represented by a down arrow so the correct quantum numbers in the Erbium element are (4,3,1,-1/2).

- Thallium:

This element has 81 electrons and following the Moeller's Diagram, we found that it last electron it is in the <u>6th level</u>, in the <u>p sublevel</u>. As Thallium has 1 electron in the p sublevel, it is placed singly in the sublevel. So the last electron of Thallium it is represented by an up arrow so the correct quantum numbers in the Thallium element are (6,1,-1,1/2).

- Osmium:

Osmium has 76 electrons and following the steps  that we did with we the other elements, we noticed that its last electron it is in the <u>5th level</u>, in the <u>d sublevel</u>. Following the Hund's rule the last electron of Osmium has a magnetic quantum number of -2 and its spin quantum number is -1/2, so the quantum numbers in the Osmium element are (5,2,-2,-1/2).

<u>Note:</u>

- Remember that the <em>s sublevel</em> has place for 2 electrons, the <u>p sublevel</u> has place for 6 electrons, the <u>d sublevel</u> has place for 10 electrons and the<em> f sublevel</em> has place for 14 electrons.

1. Show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature in any isolated system (hint: use entropy change
Inga [223]

Answer:

1 ) Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

2) ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Explanation:

<u>1) To show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature </u>

example :

Pick two(2) solid metal blocks with varying temperatures ( i.e. one solid block is hot and the other solid block is cold )

Place both blocks for time (t ) in an insulated system to reduce heat loss or gain to or from the environment

Check the temperature of both blocks after time ( t ) it will be observed that both blocks will have same temperature after time t ( first law of thermodynamics )

Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

<u>2) Entropy change for Decomposition of mercuric oxide </u>

2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)

Δs = positive

there is transition from solid to liquid and the melting point of mercury ( the point at which reaction will take place ) = 500⁰C

hence ΔSdecomposition = S⁻ Hg  -  S⁻ HgO =

Δh of reaction = 181.6 KJ

Temp = 500 + 273 = 773 k

hence ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Phosphorous pentchloride (pcl5 ) is used as a chlorinating reagent in chlorination of organic compounds. what type of bonding oc
schepotkina [342]

<span>The type of bond that a Phosphorous pentachloride have is an Ionic Bonding. It is a form of chemical bond that encompasses the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions which serves as the primary interaction happening in ionic compound. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons and Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Phosphorus contributes 1 electron to each chlorine and all the 6 achieve 8 electrons in the outer shell thus creating an ionic bond.</span>

In the investigation "Comparing the Effects of the Products of Cellular Respiration
Marianna [84]

The solution changed color because the substances are not neutral.

<h3>pH</h3>

Chemical substances have different concentrations of the hydrogen cation, called PH.

The higher the pH, the more basic the substance, and the lower the more acidic.

Bromothymol blue is a pH indicator that changes its color according to the pH of the substance, yellow for acid, blue for basic and green for neutral.

In the case of the reactions in question, we have the release of CO2 (acid) in combustion and in cellular respiration, changing the color of bromothymol blue to yellow.

Consider the condensed structure shown.
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

C_{5}H_{10}\:C_{2}H_{6}

Explanation:

Expanded Structure shows all the atoms and the bonds of the molecule. It is important to remember, each Carbon molecule have four bonds, while the Hydrogen just one. So:

1)C_{5}H_{10}

Pentene. 5 Carbon molecules, 10 Hydrogen molecules. It's an isomer, so this organic compound has multiple arrangements.

2) C_{2}H_{6}

Ethane. 2 Carbon and 6 Hydrogen Molecules. Check it below.
