Why noble gas neon is an unreactive element?

Chemistry

Ronch [10]3 years ago

This is because it has a full outer valence shell! so there are 8 electrons and that means it doesn't have the urge the gain anymore

Noble gases already have 8 valence electrons, which means their outermost energy level is completely filled. It doesn't need other elements to react with it. The noble gases are in the last group of the periodic table. Group 1, alkali meatballs, are the most reactive since they carry only 1 valence electrons and need to react with other elements

What happens when chlorine forms an ion?
zmey [24]

The chlorine usually forms a Chloride ion.

The Chlorine gains an electron leaving it 17 protons and 18 electrons. Since it has 1 more electron than protons, chlorine has a charge of −1, making it a negative ion. When ions form, atoms gain or lose electrons until their outer energy level is full.

What do you mean by Chlorine forming an ion?

Chlorine has one electron when it forms an ion to be an anion with a charge of -1. The charge of an ion, and thus the number of electrons the atom will gain or lose. If an atom has less than four valence electrons, it will lose them to become a cation.

The chloride ion is the anion  Cl− which is formed facilitating important chemical reactions coupled with its usage in the everyday world.

What is the total energy change for the following reaction:CO+H2O-CO2+H2
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{-41.2 kJ/mol}}

Explanation:

Balanced equation:    CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⟶ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)

We can calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)

(a) Enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{$\Delta_{\text{f}}$H/(kJ/mol}) \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O} & -241.8\\\text{CO$_{2}$(g)} & -393.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$(g)} & 0 \\\end{array}

(b) Total enthalpies of reactants and products

\begin{array}{ccr}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{Contribution)/(kJ/mol})&\textbf{Sum} \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5& -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O(g)} &-241.8& -241.8\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for reactants} &\mathbf{ -352.3}\\&&\\\text{CO}_{2}(g) & -393.5&-393.5 \\\text{H}_{2} & 0 & 0\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for products} & \mathbf{-393.5}\end{array}

(c) Enthalpy of reaction \Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol - (-352.3 kJ/mol}\\= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol + 352.3 kJ/mol} = \textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}\\ \text{The total enthalpy change is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}}$}

Which answer correctly ranks the atoms in terms of decreasing electronegativity (the highest electronegativity first)? which ans
Degger [83]

Answer:

O, N, C, H

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an element is the property that combines the ability of its atom to lose or gain electrons. It measures the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

On the periodic table, Electronegativity increases across the period but decreases down a group.

To solve the given problem, let us use thE Pauling's table of electronegativities to compare the electronegativities of the elements.

On the table:

C = 2.5

H = 2.1

O = 3.5

N = 3.0

In terms of decreasing electronegativities, the atoms are arranged as:

O N C H

Describe how sodium conducts thermal energy. [3 Marks]
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

In metals, some of the electrons (often one per atom) are not stuck to individual atoms but flow freely among the atoms. Of course, that's why metals are such good conductors of electricity. Now if one end of a bar is hot, and the other is cold, the electrons on the hot end have a little more thermal energy- random jiggling- than the ones on the cold end. So as the electrons wander around, they carry energy from the hot end to the cold end, which is another way of saying they conduct heat.

Here, sodium is a metal which possesses an extra (valence) electron carries the heat around its body as it is a free electron, which enables sodium to conduct thermal energy.

Hope this help :)
