Chemistry

Stels [109]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:

  • Li < Be < B < N < F

Explanation:

This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.

<u>1) Effective nuclear charge definitions</u>

  • While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.

  • Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.

<u><em>2) Z eff for a F valence electron:</em></u>

  • F's atomic number: Z = 9
  • Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
  • Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons:  7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
  • Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7

<u><em>3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:</em></u>

  • Li's atomic number: Z = 3
  • Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.

<em>4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:</em>

  • Be's atomic number: Z = 4
  • Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2

<u><em>5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:</em></u>

  • B's atomic number: Z = 5
  • Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3

<u><em>6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:</em></u>

  • N's atomic number: Z = 7
  • Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5

<u><em>7) Summary (order):</em></u>

  Atom          Zeff for a valence electron

  • F                   7
  • Li                   1
  • Be                 2
  • B                   3
  • N                   5

  • <u>Conclusion</u>: the order is Li < Be < B < N < F

Hydrogen and chlorine gases react to form HCl. You and a friend are on opposite sides of a long hallway, you with H2 and your fr
natali 33 [55]

Answer: It is true that Your friend should release the Cl_{2} first.

Explanation:

The velocity of particles of a gas is inversely proportional to the mass of gas. This means that more is the mass of gas less will be its velocity.

Or, more will be the mass of gas more slowly it will move from one place to another.

The molar mass of chlorine gas is more than the molar mass of hydrogen gas. Therefore, chlorine gas will move slowly.

So, your friend should release the Cl_{2} gas first and then according to the length of room you should release the H_{2} gas.

Thus, we can conclude that it is true that Your friend should release the Cl_{2} first.

Suppose you mix one mole of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with 1 mole of sodium hydroxide(NaOH).
olasank [31]

Answer & Explanation:

  • The neutralization of H₂SO₄ with NaOH is occurred according to the balanced equation:

<em>H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O,</em>

It is clear that every 1.0 mol of H₂SO₄ needs 2 mol of NaOH to be neutralized completely.

<em>So, when you mix one mole of sulfuric acid with 1 mole of sodium hydroxide, there will be an excess of sulfuric acid.</em>

<em>Thus, the pH of the solution remain below 7.</em>

34. An electron in the 3d state of the hydrogen atom has a radial part of the wave function of the form A r2 exp(-r/3ao). What i
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate radius is as follows.

          p(r) = Ar(r^{2}e^{\frac{-r}{3a_{o}}}

                = Ar^{3}e^{\frac{-r}{3a_{o}}}

     \frac{dp(r)}{dr} = 0

            Ar^{3}e^{\frac{-r}{3a_{o}}}(\frac{-1}{3a_{o}} + Ae^{\frac{-r}{3a_{o}}}(3r^{2}) = 0

                     \frac{Ar^{3}}{3a_{o}}e^{\frac{-r}{3a_{o}}}

                      = 3Ar^{2}e^{\frac{-r}{3a_{o}}}

                       r = 9a_{o}

Thus, we can conclude that most likely radius at which the electron would be found is 9a_{o}.
