B. sodium
explanation:
sodium is in front (NaCl), and the first element always loses an electron

Answer:

Option B. Sodium

Explanation:

In the formation of NaCl, sodium loses and electron while chlorine receives the electron as illustrated below:

Na —> Na+ + e- ....... (1)

Cl + e- —> Cl- ......... (2)

Now, combining equation 1 and 2 we have:

Na + Cl + e- —> Na+ + Cl- + e-

Cancelling the electron from both side, we obtained:

Na + Cl —> Na+Cl-

From the above illustration, we see clearly that sodium loses electron

Nuclear decay occurs according to first-order kinetics. What is the half-life of europium-152 if a sample decays from 10.0 g to
djyliett [7]

Answer:

13.5 years

Explanation:

Initial Concentration [Ao] = 10g

Final Concentration [A] = 0.768g

Time t= 50 years

Half life t1/2 = ?

These quantities are related by the following equations;

ln[A] = ln[Ao] - kt ......(i)

t1/2 = ln(2) / k ...........(ii)

where k = rate constant

Inserting the values in eqn (i) and solving for k, we have;

ln(0.768) = ln(10) - k (50)

-0.2640 = 2.3026 - 50k

50k = 2.3026 + 0.2640

k = 2.5666 / 50 = 0.051332

Insert the value of k in eqn (ii);

t1/2 = ln(2) / k

t1/2 = 0.693 / 0.051332 = 13.5 years

Give the ideal bond angle for BrO3- ion? I know this has trigonal bipyramidal geometry and therefore the bond angle is < 109.
Vadim26 [7]

Now that we have a background in the Lewis electron dot structure we can use it to locate the the valence electrons of the center atom. The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that electron pairs repel each other whether or not they are in bond pairs or in lone pairs. Thus, electron pairs will spread themselves as far from each other as possible to minimize repulsion. VSEPR focuses not only on electron pairs, but it also focus on electron groups as a whole. An electron group can be an electron pair, a lone pair, a single unpaired electron, a double bond or a triple bond on the center atom. Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule.

The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction. Thus, the molecule's shape reflects its equilibrium state in which it has the lowest possible energy in the system. Although VSEPR theory predicts the distribution of the electrons, we have to take in consideration of the actual determinant of the molecular shape. We separate this into two categories, the electron-group geometry and the molecular geometry.

Duncan knows that it takes 36400 calcal of energy to heat a pint of water from room temperature to boiling. However, Duncan has
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

It is given that 36400 cal per pint is the heat necessary to boil water. Hence, heat required to boil 0.9 pint of water is as follows.

            0.9 pint \times \frac{36400 cal}{1 \text{pint}}

             = 32760 cal

As 1 cal = 4.184 J. Therefore, the amount of energy absorbed by the 0.9 pint of water from room temperature to boiling point is as follows.

              32760 \times 4.184 J

               = 137067.84 J

or,           = 137.067 kJ      (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, we can conclude that heat energy required to be absorbed by the water at the moment it begins to boil is 137.067 kJ.
