By convention, the symbol Z is assigned to the number of protons in the nucleus, or simply, the atomic number of an element. This is actually used when you want to determine the effective nuclear charge of a specific electron of an element. The equation is:
Z* = Z - S
where
Z* is the effective nuclear charge
Z is the atomic number
S is the number of electrons between the electron in question and the nucleus
There is due to a phenomenon called the shielding effect. This effect states that the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the lesser is its pull of force to the nucleus. That is the reason why the valence electrons (outermost electrons) are the ones always involved in chemicals reactions. Because they are not that strongly bonded to the nucleus of an atom.
Answer:
a) Mo the electron configuration: 42Mo: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4
Mo3+ - is Paramagnetic
b) Au - [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1
For Au+ is not paramagnetic
c) Mn - [Ar] 3d5 4s2
Mn2+ is paramagnetic
d)Hf -[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d² 6s²
Hf2+ is not paramagnetic
Explanation:
An atom becomes positively charged when it looses an electron.
Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.
Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.
Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.
Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.
The five main branches of chemistry are organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry and biochemistry. Chemistry can be further divided into many sub-branches that may fall under more than one of the main branches.
Answer:
a) After helping our partner, we should immediately report the incident to the lab manager or any person in charge of the emergencies occurring in the lab.
b) We should have a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet to give to the responders. This is because the responder can identify what materials were being used by the person ans what other security measures need to be taken.
