Explain in terms of atomic structure why the atomic radius of K is larger than that of Na

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lina20 [59]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Potassium (K) has a larger average atomic radius (220 pm) than sodium (Na) does (180 pm). The potassium atom has an extra electron shell compared to the sodium atom, which means its valence electrons are further from the nucleus, giving potassium a larger atomic radius. The ionic radius increases in a particular group on moving from top to bottom due to increase in the principle energy shell though the number or electrons in the valence shell remain the same

(b) Which peak, the one at 365 nm or the one at 435 nm, results from the absorption of
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

365nm and Exothermic reaction

Explanation:

b) The Einstein Planck's equation states that

E = hf where E is the energy of a photon

                     h  is the Planck's constant

                     f  is the frequency

But Frequency f = c/λ  where c  is the speed of light

                                                  λ  is the wavelength

Therefore Energy E = hc/λ

From the above equation we see that the Energy of a photon is indirectly proportional to its wavelength

Hence as the wavelength increases from 365nm to 435nm, the energy of the photons decreases

Therefore, a photon will wavelength 365nm would have a higher energy than one will wavelength of 435nm.

c) From the diagram we observe the following:

At high temperatures,   HPR⁺ occurs at a higher concentration than at low temperatures.

At low temperatures, more of PR⁻ is formed than at high temperatures

The equation of the reaction is

HPR⁺ (aq) ⁺ ⇆ H⁺ + PR⁻(aq)      

Le Chartelier's principle states that when an external constraint such as a change in concentration, pressure or temperature is placed on a system in equilibrium, the system acts in such a way as to oppose the change.

Hence a decrease in temperature on the side of reactant, HPR would force the equilibrium to the side of the products, PR in other to accommodate the change

The forward reaction, which produces more of the product PR⁻ is exothermic because  the at low temperatures, the the forward reaction is favoured and equilibrium shifts to the right.

How do electrons participate in the interactions of matter
Archy [21]

Explanation:

Chemical bonding during a chemical change process involves the exchange of electrons in matter.

Electrons are nearly the basis of most chemical interactions.

  • Some atoms of certain elements shows no tendency to combine with themselves and other kinds of atoms.
  • This is because their outer energy level is filled with enough electrons.
  • The driving force for most interatomic and intermoleuclar interactions is the tendency to have completely filled outer energy levels.
  • Electrons are the facilitators of interactions between matter.
