The value of Zeff for a valence electron in an atom of silicon is?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lutik1710 [3]3 years ago
6 0

Zeff is the effective nuclear charge wherein, Z resembles the number of protons in the nucleus while S corresponds to the number of non-valence electrons.

Zeff = Z - S

Silicon has 14 protons; its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p2. Its non-valence electrons is in the n = 1 and n =2 shells. There are 2 electrons in n = 1 and 8 in n = 2, so there are a total of 10 non-valence electron.

So, the answer is 4.

If 5.00 mL of 1.00 M HCl is used to titrate the hydroxide ion produced by a piece of Sodium, What mass of Sodium is used in gram
suter [353]

Answer:

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O

Volume of HCl = 5 ml

Molar concentration = 1 M

Number of moles = molar concentration * volume

= 1 * 0.005

= 0.005 mol of HCl

By stoichiometry, 1 mole of HCl completely neutralizes 1 mole of NaOH

Therefore, number of moles of NaOH = 0.005 mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1

= 40 g/mol

NaOH --> Na+ + OH-

Mass = molar mass * number of moles

= 40 * 0.005

= 0.2 g of Na+

A white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water.
sergeinik [125]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionic salts are defined as the salts which tend to contain ionic bonds as there occurs transfer of electrons between its combining atoms.

So, when an ionic salt melts or it is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into its respective ions and as electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. Hence, this salt is then able to conduct electricity.

As covalent compounds are insoluble in water so, they do no dissociate into ions. Hence, they do not conduct electricity.

Similarly, metallic and network solids do not dissociate into ions either when melted or dissolved in water. Therefore, they also do not conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that when a white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water then this bond is of ionic type.

Which type of bonding is most important in ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3?
saveliy_v [14]

The compound CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3 is formed only by sharing of electrons between the atoms. The structure of the compound is shown in the image.

Each line between two atoms represents the sharing of an electron pair which results in the formation of a single bond. Since, carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell and hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell so in order to complete the octet ( to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, noble gas configuration) to attain stability carbon needs 4 more electrons and hydrogen needs 1 electron. So, sharing of electron will occur as shown in the image and the formed compound is stable in nature.

Since, the bond that is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms is known as covalent bond. So, covalent bonding is most important in CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3.
