Electronegativity increases as the size of the atom increases. a. True b. False

1 answer:

5 0

B. False. Electronegativity is the property of an atom or element to attract electrons during a chemical reaction. If you look at the periodic trend for electronegativity you see Flourine has the highest electronegativity and Francium is the lowest. However, Francium has the largest atomic radius and Fluorine has the smallest (aside from Hydrogen and Helium). So your statement is false. The relationship between atomic radius and electronegativity is inversely proportional so a true statement would be: As atomic radius increases, electronegativity decreases.

For each of the following reactions, identify the missing reactant(s) or products(s) and then balance the resulting equation. No

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

A. The reactants are= Li and O2

The balanced equation is:

4Li + O2 —> 2Li2O

B. The products are: MgCl2 and O2

The balanced equation is:

Mg(ClO3)2 —> MgCl2 + 3O2

C. The products are: Ca(NO3)2 and H2O

The balanced equation is:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 +

2H2O

D. The products are: CO2 and H2O

The balanced equation is:

C5H12 + 8O2 —> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Explanation:

A. ____ —> Li2O

The reactants are Li and O2. Thus the equation is given below:

Li + O2 —> Li2O

Thus the equation is balanced as follow:

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Li2O as shown below:

Li + O2 —> 2Li2O

Now, we have 4 atoms of Li on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of Li as shown below:

4Li + O2 —> 2Li2O

Now the equation is balanced

B. Mg(ClO3)2 —> __

The products are MgCl2 and O2

The equation is given below:

Mg(ClO3)2 —> MgCl2 + O2

The equation can be balance as follow:

There are 6 atoms of O on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

Mg(ClO3)2 —> MgCl2 + 3O2

Now the equation is balanced

C. HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —>___

The products are: Ca(NO3)2 and H2O

The equation is given below:

HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

The equation is balanced as follow:

There are 2 atoms of NO3 on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HNO3 as shown below:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

There are a total of 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of H2O as shown below:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Now the equation is balanced

D. C5H12 + O2 —>__

The products are: CO2 and H2O

The equation is given below:

C5H12 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O

The equation can be balance as follow:

There are 5 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C5H12 + O2 —> 5CO2 + H2O

There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 6 in front of H2O as shown below:

C5H12 + O2 —> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now, there are a total of 16 atoms of O on the right side and 2 atoms on the left. It can be balance by putting 8 in front of O2 as shown below:

C5H12 + 8O2 —> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now we can see that the equation is balanced.

What is the approximate temperature of the descending air at an elevation of 1,600 meters?

Margarita [4]

According to Diagram B, look at the 1600 elevation until you see the descending air line touches it. Then look down at the temperature at the bottom of the graph. It is between 0 degrees to 5 degrees.

The only number that is between that range is 2 degrees C.
