Question 9 rank the effective nuclear charge z * experienced by a valence electron in each of these atoms:

1 answer:

7 0

To rank the effective nuclear charge Z* experienced by a valence electrons of a set of atoms that belong to a same period, you only need to apply the rule of trend: it increases as you move from left to right in the period.

So, lets do it for these atoms: P, Al, Si, Cl

The belong to a same period and the order is Al, Si, P, Cl (just see a periodic table). So the rank is Al < Si < P < Cl

Now, lets do it for these atoms:, Be, Ne, O, C

They belong to the second period. The order is Be, C, O, Ne

So, the rank is Be < C < O < Ne.

Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base from among the reactants in each of the following equations.

Alex

Answer:

Part A

Ag+ is the Lewis acid and NH3 is the Lewis base.

Part B

AlBr3 is the Lewis acid and NH3 is the Lewis base.

Part C

AlCl3 is the Lewis acid and Cl− is the Lewis base.

Explanation:

A Lewis acid is any specie that accepts a lone pair of electrons. Ag^+, AlBr3 and AlCl3 all accepted lone pairs of electrons according to the three chemical reaction equations shown. Hence, they are Lewis acids.

A Lewis base donates a lone pair of electrons. They include neutral molecules having lone pair of electrons such as NH3 or negative ions such as Cl- .

aliya0001 [1]

Answer : The correct option is, (B)

Explanation :

Balance equation : Balanced equation are those equation in which the number of atoms of each element and the total charge must be same on products side and reactants side.

In the given options, only option (B) equation has correct formula and also a balanced equation.

$2Be+O_2\rightarrow 2BeO$
