Why are the transition metals not isoelectronic with noble gas atoms?

1 answer:

8 0

The atoms and ions that have the similar electron configuration are named isoelectronic. The common ions of representative elements are isoelectronic with a noble gas. When forming ions, transition metals be unable to find their valence s-sublevel electrons before they lose their d-sub level electrons.

Why do larger gases such as Neon produce more color bands (line spectra) than smaller gases like Hydrogen?

LekaFEV [45]

Larger gases produces more spectral lines than the smaller gases because they have more orbitals in their atoms.
Hydrogen has only one orbital in which an electron orbits. At the excited state, that is, when the electron gains energy, the number of energy level it can transcend is very few. For larger elements, they have more orbitals and when excited, they can move from the ground state to other energy levels at which they produce various unique spectral lines.

Does pb(no3)2 + Na3(PO4) = Pb3(PO4)2 + Na(NO3) have a precipitate?

ipn [44]

Answer:

Yes, Pb3(PO4)2.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given balanced chemical reaction, it is possible to use the attached solubility series, it is possible to see that NaNO3 is soluble for the Na^+ and NO3^- ions intercept but insoluble for the Pb^3+ and PO4^2- when intercepting these two. In such a way, we infer that such reaction forms a precipitate of Pb3(PO4)2, lead (II) phosphate.

Regards!
