Element      atomic number       position

Ba              56                             group 2, period 6

Ca              12                             group 2, period 3

S                16                             group 16, period 3

Si               `14                            group 14, period 3


Now, you need to know the properties of the different type of elements and the tendencies on the periodic table.


The metallic elements are, those placed on the left side of the periodic table, are the ones that release an electron more easily, so they will requiere less energy to give it up when forming chemical bonds.


The higher the metallic character the less the energy need to give up an electron.


The metallic character grows as the group number decreases (goes to the left) period increases (goes downward), so among the  elements considered, Barium will require the least amount of energy to give un an electron when forming chemical bonds.

Which of the following item(s) explain the differences between the Ka values. Choose one or more: A. The oxidation state for oxy
Allisa [31]

Answer:

<em>C. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>The structures of trifluoroacetate and acetic acid are both shown in the image attached.</em>

<em>The trifluoroacetate anion (CF3CO2-), just like the acetate anion has in the middle, two oxygen atoms.</em>

<em>However, in the trifluoroacetate anion, there are also three electronegative fluorine atoms attached to the nearby carbon atom attached to the carbonyl, and these pull some electron density through the sigma bonding network away from the oxygen atoms, thereby spreading out the negative charge further. This effect, called the "inductive effect" stabilizes the anion formed,the trifouoroacetate anion is thus more stabilized than the acetate anion.</em>

<em>Hence, trifluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, having a pKa of -0.18.</em>

Reply ASAP: Why do electrons affect the structure of a molecule?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C. The electron clouds are negatively charged and repel each other as far apart as possible

Explanation:

This is the basis of VSEPR theory.

The angles between the electron clouds determine the shapes of the molecules.

B. and D. are wrong. All electron pairs are negatively charged.

A student writes the following explanation of how certain molecules are formed.A process is used to chemically link smaller unit
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.  

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.  

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.
