(B) because it couldn’t turn in to good
Answer:
(a) I⁻ (charge 1-)
(b) Sr²⁺ (charge 2+)
(c) K⁺ (charge 1+)
(d) N³⁻ (charge 3-)
(e) S²⁻ (charge 2-)
(f) In³⁺ (charge 3+)
Explanation:
To predict the charge on a monoatomic ion we need to consider the octet rule: atoms will gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.
(a) |
I has 7 valence electrons so it gains 1 electron to form I⁻ (charge 1-).
(b) Sr
Sr has 2 valence electrons so it loses 2 electrons to form Sr²⁺ (charge 2+).
(c) K
K has 1 valence electron so it loses 1 electron to form K⁺ (charge 1+).
(d) N
N has 5 valence electrons so it gains 3 electrons to form N³⁻ (charge 3-).
(e) S
S has 6 valence electrons so it gains 2 electrons to form S²⁻ (charge 2-).
(f) In
In has 3 valence electrons so it loses 3 electrons to form In³⁺ (charge 3+).
Answer:
Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride
Explanation:
During a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophilie replaces another in a molecule.
This process may occur via an ionic mechanism (SN1) or via a concerted mechanism (SN2).
In either case, the ease of departure of the leaving group is determined by the nature of the C-X bond. The stronger the C-X bond, the worse the leaving group will be in nucleophilic substitution. The order of strength of C-X bond is F>Cl>Br>I.
Hence, iodine displays the weakest C-X bond strength and it is thus, a very good leaving group in nucleophillic substitution while fluorine displays a very high C-X bond strength hence it is a bad leaving group in nucleophilic substitution.
Therefore, the ease of the use of halide ions as leaving groups follows the trend; Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride
It would be c because it has to get hot so it is absorbing the heat not releasing it
