This answer is based on the electron configuration.

And you can use Aufbau's rule to predict the atomic number of the next elements.

Radon, Rn is the element number 86.

Following Aufbau's rules, the electron configuration of Rn is: [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6. This means that you are suming 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32 electrons with respect to the element Xe.

You can verity that the atomic number of Xe is 54, so when you add 32 you get 54 + 32 = 86, which is the atomic number of Rn.

Again, as per Aufbau's rules, the next element of the same group or period is when the 6 electrons of the 7p orbital are filled. For that, they have to pass 32 elements whose orbitals are:

7s2 5f14 6d10 7p6: count the electrons added: 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32, and that is why the next element wil have atomic number 86 + 32 = 118.

Now, when you go for a new series, you find a new type of orbital, the g orbital, for which the model predict there are 18 electrons to fill.

So the next element of the group will have ; 2 + 18 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 50 electrons, which means that the atomic number of this, not yet discovered element, has atomic number 118 + 50 = 168.

By the way the element with atomic number 118 was already discovdered at its symbol is Og. You can search that information in internet.

The atomic numbers of the as yet undiscovered next two members of the series are 118 and 168.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The noble gases is a group of chemical elements with similar properties such as under standard conditions they are all odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with very low chemical reactivity.

The heaviest known noble gas metal is radon, atomic number 86. Where The outermost shell configuration of radon is 6s^2 6p^6

Electronic configuration of the next noble gas is:

[Rn]5f^14 6d^{10} 7s^2 7p^6

Therefore, atomic number of the noble gas after Rn is 86+32 = 118

The atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element.

Electronic configuration of still the next noble gas can be obtained by adding  5g^18 6f^{14} 7d^{10} 8s^2 8p^6, which means 50 more electrons.

So the atomic number = 118 + 50 = 168

Therefore the atomic numbers of the as yet undiscovered next two members of the series are 118 and 168.

If water were a linear (not bent) molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker. wh
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer;

The partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation;

Water is a polar molecule because the electrons are not shared equally, they're closer to the oxygen atom than the hydrogen.

-Normally, the water molecule is a bent shape because of the pair of lone electrons - they repulse each other and exert a compression to the hydrogen atoms at a slight 104º angle. It is a bent molecular geometry that results from tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

-The 2 lone electron pairs exerts a little extra repulsion on the two bonding hydrogen atoms to create a slight compression to a 104 degrees bond angle. Therefore, the water molecule is bent molecular geometry because the lone electron pairs.

Thus, If water were a linear molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker, then the partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.

Calculate the amount of heat required to melt 2108 g of water. The enthalpy of fusion of water is ΔHfus=6.010 kJ/mol.
vesna_86 [32]

since the unit for the heat of fusion is kJ/mol, you're going to have to convert the grams into moles in order to cancel out the unit. After that, you can solve like normal.

1826.5g of methanol (CH3OH), molar mass = 32.0 g/mol is added to 735 g of water, what is the molality of the methane 0.0348 m 1.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Molality = 1.13 m

Explanation:

Molality is defined as the moles of the solute present in 1 kilogram of the solvent.

Given that:

Mass of CH_3OH = 26.5 g

Molar mass of CH_3OH = 32.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{26.5\ g}{32.04\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ CH_3OH= 0.8271\ moles

Mass of water = 735 g = 0.735 kg ( 1 g = 0.001 kg )

So, molality is:

m=\frac {0.8271\ moles}{0.735\ kg}

<u>Molality = 1.13 m</u>

How are ionic bonds formed
kiruha [24]
Ionic bonds are formed as one atom the metal gives up or transfers one of its valence electron to the other atom that would then be able to accept it. This other atom is a non metal. This process occurs because the atoms want to become more stable by each of them satisfying the octet rule. In which atoms would have a maximum of 8 valence electrons.
