The third number on a fertilizer analysis indicates the amount of which element as being present in the product

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elza [17]2 years ago
7 0
<span>Most fertilizer bags are marked with three numbers, which represent the amounts of the following chemicals: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The third number represents the amount of potassium in the fertilizer. All three of these chemicals are important for plants, but different plants require different amounts of these chemicals, so the label helps consumers determine which product to buy.</span>

Enter the electron configuration for the ion most likely formed by phosphorus. Express your answer in the order of orbital filli
Bingel [31]

Answer:

[Ne] 2s2 2p3

Explanation:

Phosphorus will most likely have an ion that will be 3- because it wants to have a full outer shell. Thus, the elctron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3.

Mercury is often released into water bodies with industrial effluents, where it is then converted to the compound form methylmer
sergeinik [125]
 This is more to do with Bioaccumulation of mercury, where the mercury is absorbed into the issue of animals, and so animals higher in the food chain consume a lot of tissue matter hence increasing mercury content in their system.

What are the two variables that affect the electric force between two objects?
givi [52]

Explanation:

The electrical force between two objects is given by the formula as follows :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

k is electrostatic constant

q₁ and q₂ are electric charges

d is distance between charges

So, the two force between two charged objects depends on the product of charges and distance between charges.

How can you determine which bond in a structure is more polar without using an electronegativity table?
UkoKoshka [18]
To know this you pretty much do have to kind of memorize a few electronegativities. I don't recall ever getting a table of electronegativities on an exam.
From the structure, you have:

I remember the following electronegativities most because they are fairly patterned:
EN
H
=
2.1
EN
C
=
2.5
EN
N
=
3.0
EN
O
=
3.5
EN
F
=
4.0
EN
Cl
=
3.5
Notice how carbon through fluorine go in increments of
~
0.5
. I believe Pauling made it that way when he determined electronegativities in the '30s.
Δ
EN
C
−
Cl
=
1.0
Δ
EN
C
−
H
=
0.4
Δ
EN
C
−
C
=
0.0
Δ
EN
C
−
O
=
1.0
Δ
EN
O
−
H
=
1.4
So naturally, with the greatest electronegativity difference of
4.0
−
2.5
=
1.5
, the
C
−
F
bond is most polar, i.e. that bond's electron distribution is the most drawn towards the more electronegative compound as compared to the rest.
When the electron distribution is polarized and drawn towards a more electronegative atom, the less electronegative atom has to move inwards because its nucleus was previously favorably attracted to the electrons from the other atom.
That means generally, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms is, the shorter you can expect the bond to be, insofar as the electronegative atom is the same size as another comparable electronegative atom.
However, examining actual data, we would see that on average, in conditions without other bond polarizations occuring:
r
C
−
Cl
≈
177 pm
r
C
−
C
≈
154 pm
r
C
−
O
≈
143 pm
r
C
−
F
≈
135 pm
r
C
−
H
≈
109 pm
r
O
−
H
≈
96 pm
So it is not necessarily the least electronegativity difference that gives the longest bond.
Therefore, you cannot simply consider electronegativity. Examining the radii of the atoms, you should notice that chlorine is the biggest atom in the compound.
r
Cl
≈
79 pm
r
C
≈
70 pm
r
H
≈
53 pm
r
O
≈
60 pm
So assuming the answer is truly
C
−
C
, what would have to hold true is that:
The
C
−
F
bond polarization makes the carbon more electropositive (which is true).
The now more electropositive carbon wishes to attract bonding pairs from chlorine closer, thereby shortening the
C
−
Cl
bond, and potentially the
C
−
H
bond (which is probably true).
The shortening of the
C
−
Cl
bond is somehow enough to be shorter than the
C
−
C
bond (this is debatable).
