Explain, in terms of electrons, why the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than the radius of a calcium atom.

Chemistry

Lilit [14]3 years ago

Because the calcium ion donates two electrons to achieve the stable state. So the layer of electrons decrease form 4 layers(2,8,8,2) to 3 layers(2,8,8). Thus, the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than a calcium atom.

horrorfan [7]

Answer: 0.00488K

Explanation: using the general gas equation

(P1V1)/T1 =(P2V2)/T1

Substitute

2*6/273= 3*3/T

Simplify

T= 0.00488°K

The work function of a silver surface is 4.73 eV. What would happen if the silver is hit with a photon with 2.5 eV of energy?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:Nothing, the photon just bounces off the surface.

Explanation:

According to Albert Einstein, a photoelectron can only be emitted from a metal surface when the energy of the incident photon is greater than the work function of the metal.

In the scenario described in the question, the work function of the metal is greater than the energy of the photon. Hence, the photon just bounces off the metal surface without emitting any electron.

In column chromatography (microscale), after loading it with solvent and adsorbent and prior to loading the sample, what level s
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

You should allow the solvent to drop to the level of the adsorvent, so it would never run dry.

When you let your sample to run dry it will never finish to flow from the adsorbent depending of it polarity.

Water should not be used because it can dissolve the adsorbent.

You could use another technique to identify the compound, as an infrared or a ultraviolet detector. You can also, if you know the compounds, identify it for the retention time, for example, if you need to detect two compounds, one more polar than the other, and use a polar adsorbent and a non-polar solvent, the first compound to exit the column will be the less polar one, because it will have a bigger interaction with the solvent than the stationary phase (adsorbent) and will go faster, the second will be the more polar one, because it will have a bigger interaction with the stationary phase.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 29.44\% calcium, 23.55% sulfur, and 47.01% oxygen? This compound is a commo
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Empirical formula is CaSO₄.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of calcium =29.44%

Percentage of sulfur = 23.55%

Percentage of oxygen = 47.01%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Ca = 29.44 / 40 = 0.74

Number of gram atoms of S = 23.55 / 32 = 0.74

Number of gram atoms of O = 47.01 / 16 = 3

Atomic ratio:

            Ca                      :        S                :         O

           0.74/0.74           :     0.74/0.74      :       3/0.74

               1                     :          1              :          4

Ca : S : O = 1 : 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CaSO₄.
