How does the periodic trend of atomic radius relate to the addition of electrons?

1 answer:

8 0

The atomic radius actually decreases as you move from left to right in a period (row) of the periodic table. ... The added protons in the nucleus of an atom will pull the electron cloud more tightly inward and shrink the size of the electron cloud which means you have a smaller atomic radius.

How many neutrons and protons are there in the nuclei of the following atoms. a. Li-7 b. O-16 c. Th-232 d. Pu-239

ANEK [815]

Answer:

P = 3 , N = 4

P = 8 , N = 8

P = 90 , N = 142

P = 94 , N = 145

Explanation:

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Also,

Atomic number = Number of protons

Li - 7

Given, Mass number of Lithium = 7

For lithium, atomic number = 3

So,

Number of protons = 3

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 7 - 3 = 4

O - 16

Given, Mass number of oxygen = 16

For oxygen, atomic number = 8

So,

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 16 - 8 = 8

Th - 232

Given, Mass number of Thorium = 232

For Thorium, atomic number = 90

So,

Number of protons = 90

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 232 - 90 = 142

Pu - 239

Given, Mass number of Plutonium = 239

For Plutonium, atomic number = 94

So,

Number of protons = 94

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 239 - 94 = 145

Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in each reaction:Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆

klemol [59]

In the reaction, Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆, Na⁺ is a Lewis acid and H₂O is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>

According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
Here Na⁺ that is electron deficient accepts electrons from the electron donor, H₂O
From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

What is woven into farbic?

LenaWriter [7]

Woven fabric is any textile formed by weaving. Woven fabrics are often created on a loom, and made of many threads woven on a warp and a weft. Technically, a woven fabric is any fabric made by interlacing two or more threads at right angles to one another.

Consider a galvanic cell consisting of the following two redox couplesAlB+ 3e Al , Mga + 2e Mg, (ag. E® = 1.676 V ) E° = 2.356 V

malfutka [58]

Answer:

0.68 V

Explanation:

For anode;

3Mg(s) ---->3Mg^2+(aq) + 6e

For cathode;

2Al^3+(aq) + 6e -----> 2Al(s)

Overall balanced reaction equation;

3Mg(s) + 2Al^3+(aq) ----> 3Mg^2+(aq) + 2Al(s)

Since

E°anode = -2.356 V

E°cathode = -1.676 V

E°cell=-1.676 -(-2.356)

E°cell= 0.68 V
