How do the electron configurations within a group compare

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anna35 [415]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • The <em>electron configurations</em> of the elements within a group share the same structure for the electrons of the highest principal energy level.

Explanation:

This table shows how the electron configurations of the representative groups can be compared.

Group        last shell of the electron configuration

1                 n s¹

2                n s²

13               n s² p¹

14               n s² p²

15               n s² p³

16               n s² p⁴

17               n s² p⁵

18               n s² p⁶

That means that, for example, that the electron configurations of all the elements of the group 17, halogens (F, Cl, Br, I, At, Ts) terminate is n s² p⁵, where n is the principal quantum number (main energy level), which may take the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.

And this structure shows the reason behind the similarity of the chemical properties of the elements within a group, given that the outermost electrons, i.e the valence electrons, are which mostly participate in the chemical reactions.

For the gropus 3 trhough 12, the metal transitions, the comparison must include the filling of the orbitals d and f.

The amount of energy needed to heat 6.2 g of a substance from 50.0°C to 80.0°C is 27.4 J. What is the specific heat capacity of
taurus [48]

Answer:

The heat capacity for the sample is 0.913 J/°C

Explanation:

This is the formula for heat capacity that help us to solve this:

Q / (Final T° - Initial T°) = c . m

where m is mass and c, the specific heat of the substance

27.4 J / (80°C - 50°C) = c . 6.2 g

[27.4 J / (80°C - 50°C)] / 6.2 g = c

27.4 J / 30°C . 1/6.2g = c

0.147 J/g°C = c

Therefore, the heat capacity is 0.913 J/°C

Which of these statements about atomic models is most likely correct?
taurus [48]

Answer:

The correct option is the second option

Explanation:

Generally, the aim of science is to understand a particular concept in the best and the most correct way possible; hence experiments are done and repeated to ensure an explanation is actually true about a concept or need modification.

The atomic models have also been a "beneficiary" of this process. The different atomic models are usually been improved upon as scientists leaned more. For example, the Dalton's atomic theory has been modified to a more correct atomic description; some of which are shown below

(1) Dalton's theory suggested that an atom is the smallest unit of a molecule. We know now from different experiments (by J. J Thompson and Rutherford) that atoms are not the smallest molecules and are made up of smaller particles known as protons, neutrons and electrons.

(2) Dalton's theory suggested that atoms of the same elements are alike in all aspects. The knowledge of isotopy shows this is not always the case. As atoms of the same elements (isotopes) have the same atomic number but different mass number; hence cannot be said to be the same in all aspects.

(3) Dalton's theory also suggested that when atoms react, they do so in fixed, simple whole number ratio. The knowledge of organic chemistry shows atoms do not always react in simple whole number ratios

There are several modifications to different postulations by scientists that have also occurred aside from this, hence the most correct answer is that "As scientists learned more, they modified the atomic model"
