Which of the following correctly compares the radii of Cl and Cl−?

Chemistry
1 answer:
nignag [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Cl has a smaller radius than Cl− because Cl− has an expanded electron cloud.

Explanation:

Definition of atomic radii:

The atomic radius is the distance between center of two bonded atoms.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase.The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases.

Trend along group:

In group by addition of electron atomic radii increase from top to bottom due to increase in atomic number and addition of extra shell.

In this way Cl⁻ will have the largest atomic radii because one extra electron is added and electronic cloud more expanded as compared to neutral atom.

Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2): g/mol
Eva8 [605]

To determine the molar mass, you need to get the atomic mass of the molecule. To do this, check the periodic table for the atomic mass or average atomic weight of each element.

Mg = 24.305 x 1 = 24.305 amu

O = 15.9994 x 2 =31.9988 amu

H = 1.0079 x 2 = 2.0158 amu

 

Then, add all the components to get the atomic mass of the molecule.

24.305 amu + 31.9988 amu + 2.0158 amu = 58.3196 amu


The atomic mass is just equivalent to its molar mass.

So, the molar mass of Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is 58.3196 g/mol.

<span>Carbon must share 4 electrons total with the the two Oxygen atoms in order to fill it's outer electron shell, and each Oxygen atom must share 2 electrons with the Carbon atom to fill their electron shells. Therefore, in total 8 electrons must be shared (4+2+2=8)</span>

The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway.
Nitella [24]

1) To find the change in enthalpy, determine the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants. (on this diagram, C-A) To find the activation energy, find the difference between the potential energy of the reactants and the "peak" of the curve (on this diagram, B-A). For this diagram, both the enthalpy and activation energy are positive.

2) If the reaction was exothermic, enthalpy would be negative, and the potential energy of the reactants would be greater than the potential energy of the products.
