Which changes occur as a cadmium atom, Cd, becomes a cadmium ion, Cd2+?

Chemistry
1 answer:
koban [17]3 years ago
3 0
The answer is (3). To form the cation (positive ion), Cd must lose negative charge, so two electrons are lost. This loss in electrons also increases the effective nuclear charge/ reduces electron shielding. In other words, with two less electrons to hold, the nucleus exerts a stronger attractive force on the remaining electrons, so the electron cloud is pulled closer to the nucleus. The radius therefore decreases.

0.500 mile of potassium oxide is dissolved in enough water to make 2.00 L of solution. Calculate the molarity of this solution (
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct question is as follows: 0.500 moles of potassium oxide is dissolved in enough water to make 2.00 L of solution. Calculate the molarity of this solution (plz help!)

Answer: The molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.

Explanation:

Molarity is the number of moles of a substance divided by volume in liter.

As it is given that there are 0.5 moles of potassium oxide in 2.00 L of water so, the molarity of this solution is calculated as follows.

Molarity = \frac{moles}{volume(in L)}\\= \frac{0.5 moles}{2.00 L}\\= 0.25 M

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.
