<u>Answer:</u> Zinc will react with lead (II) nitrate solution.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

General equation for single displacement reaction follows:

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

When zinc is reacted with calcium nitrate, the reaction does not take place as zinc is less reactive than calcium. Zinc lies below in the series than calcium.

Zn+Ca(NO_3)_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

But, when zinc is reacted with lead (II) nitrate, the reaction do take place as zinc is more reactive than lead. Zinc lies above in the series than lead.

The chemical equation for the reaction of zinc and lead (II) nitrate follows:

Zn+Pb(NO_3)_2\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+Pb

Hence, zinc will react with lead (II) nitrate solution.

He orbital period of an object is 2 × 107 s and its total radius is 4 × 1010 m
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The answer is 12,560  

Explanation:

The orbital period is the time a given cosmic question takes to finish one circle around another protest and applies in space science as a rule to planets or space rocks circling the Sun, moons circling planets, exoplanets circling different stars, or double stars. Mercury, for instance, has an orbital time of 88 days while it takes Jupiter around 11.86 years. The time of the Earth's circle is generally thought to be 365 days as timetables appear.

Which of the following best describes the difference in bonding between two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer :

2. Hydrogen forms bonds through the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between atoms. Carbon forms bonds through the overlapping of sp hybrid atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between carbon atoms.

Explanation:

The H-H bond is formed by the overlap of two 1s orbitals and the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.

A carbon atom must use the overlap of hybridized atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons to bond with another carbon atoms.

1. is <em>wrong</em> because H can use only its <em>1s orbital</em> for bonding.

3. is <em>wrong</em> because C must <em>share electrons</em> to form a carbon-carbon bond.

4. is <em>wrong</em> because <em>C does NOT use overlapping of 2s orbitals</em> for bonding. It uses the overlap of hybridized orbitals.

5. is <em>wrong</em> because H must <em>share electrons</em> to form an H-H bond.

If an element has 2+ valence electrons, does it transfer only one or more than one valence electrons​
just olya [345]

Answer:

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.

Explanation:

  • Group IIA have 2+ valency and two electrons in its valance shell.
  • Its Electropositivity is  high and have the tendency to donate it two electrons.
  • Element  of IIA form ionic with most electronegative element.

Examples:

Cu²⁺, Mg²⁺, Sr²⁺ are examples having  2+ valance electron

one of the following is examples of element that have 2+ valence electrons

MgCl₂

Atomic number of Magnesium (Mg) is 12

Electronic Configuration of Mg:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 2

So, it have to give its 2 electrons to form a stable compound.

Similarly

Chlorine atomic number is 17

Electronic Configuration of Chlorine:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁵

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 7

So, it have to gain one electrons to form a stable compound and complete its octet.

So,

Two chlorine atom as a molecule gain 2 electrons from Mg²⁺ atom

So one Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻ atoms form an ionic bond

where in this ionic bond Mg²⁺ transfer its 2 valence electron completely and chlorine molecule accept 2 electrons.

                 Cl-----Mg------Cl

So the Answer is

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.

Describe the trend in electronegativity of the elements ?​
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group. As a result, the most electronegative elements are found on the top right of the periodic table, while the least electronegative elements are found on the bottom left.

Explanation:

Make sure to edit so you don't get copy-writed.
