The nucleus of an atom holds 4 neutrons and 4 protons, how many electrons does it have

The quantum numbers for the last electron placed in three elements are listed below. Which of these is(are) NOT correct? Er (4 3

UNO [17]

Answer:

The three elements Erbium, Thallium and Osmium have incorrect quantum numbers for the last electron placed.

Explanation:

The 4 quantum numbers are (n,l,ml,ms):

n (Principal quantum number): it is the number of the shell (level) where the electron is placed.
l (Angular momentum quantum number or Secondary): it represents the sublevel where the electron is placed. There are 4 subleves: s, p d and f so secondary quantum number can take the number 0 (s), 1 (p), 2 (d) or 3 (f) depending on which sublevel the electron is placed.
ml (Magnetic quantum number): it represents the spatial orientation of the electron in respect of the sublevel the electron is placed. For example: if the electron occupies the s sublevel the magnetic number will be 0, if the electron occupies the p sublevel the magnetic number could be -1,0,1, if the electron occupies the d sublevel the magnetic number could be -2,-1,0,1,2 and if the electron occupies the f sublevel the magnetic number could be -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3. You can see this in the attachment related to the correct sublevel for the example.

ms (Spin quantum number): this number represents the possible rotation of the electron so it could be 1/2 (which is represented by an up arrow) or -1/2 (represented by an down arrow).

Let's analyze the last electron of each element. You can see the attachment for better understanding. The last electron it is represented with orange color.

- Erbium:

This element has 68 electrons so following the Moeller's Diagram to fill the the electronic configuration, we found that the last electron of Erbium it is in the 4th level (shell), in the f sublevel. As Erbium has 12 electrons in the f sublevel, it is necessary to follow the Hund's rule (electrons must be placed singly in every sublevel before place a parallel electron) to placed correctly all of them. Finally, the last electron of Erbium stays in the middle of the sublevel and it is represented by a down arrow so the correct quantum numbers in the Erbium element are (4,3,1,-1/2).

- Thallium:

This element has 81 electrons and following the Moeller's Diagram, we found that it last electron it is in the 6th level, in the p sublevel. As Thallium has 1 electron in the p sublevel, it is placed singly in the sublevel. So the last electron of Thallium it is represented by an up arrow so the correct quantum numbers in the Thallium element are (6,1,-1,1/2).

- Osmium:

Osmium has 76 electrons and following the steps that we did with we the other elements, we noticed that its last electron it is in the 5th level, in the d sublevel. Following the Hund's rule the last electron of Osmium has a magnetic quantum number of -2 and its spin quantum number is -1/2, so the quantum numbers in the Osmium element are (5,2,-2,-1/2).

Note:

- Remember that the s sublevel has place for 2 electrons, the p sublevel has place for 6 electrons, the d sublevel has place for 10 electrons and the f sublevel has place for 14 electrons.

What is the Na+ concentration in each of the following solutions:

iren [92.7K]

Sodium Sulfate = Na2(SO4) meaning there are two ions of Na+ in one mole of Sodium Sulfate the M stands for Molarity, defined as Molarity = (moles of solute)/(Liters of solution), So if the Na2SO4 solution is 3.65M that means one Liter of has 3.65 moles of Na2SO4, the stoichiometry of Na2SO4 shows that there would be two Na+ ions in solution for every one Na2SO4.

Therefore if 3.65 moles of Na2SO4 was to dissolve, it would produce 7.3 moles of Na+, and since this is still a theoretical solution, we can assume 1 L of solution.

Finally we find [Na+] = 2*3.65 = 7.3M

Use the same logic for parts b and c

State general trend for metal properties as you go left to right across a period

qwelly [4]

Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.

Electronegativity Trends

Electronegativity can be understood as a chemical property describing an atom's ability to attract and bind with electrons. Because electronegativity is a qualitative property, there is no standardized method for calculating electronegativity. However, the most common scale for quantifying electronegativity is the Pauling scale (Table A2), named after the chemist Linus Pauling. The numbers assigned by the Pauling scale are dimensionless due to the qualitative nature of electronegativity. Electronegativity values for each element can be found on certain periodic tables. An example is provided below.

From left to right across a period of elements, electronegativity increases. If the valence shell of an atom is less than half full, it requires less energy to lose an electron than to gain one. Conversely, if the valence shell is more than half full, it is easier to pull an electron into the valence shell than to donate one.

From top to bottom down a group, electronegativity decreases. This is because atomic number increases down a group, and thus there is an increased distance between the valence electrons and nucleus, or a greater atomic radius.

Important exceptions of the above rules include the noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides. The noble gases possess a complete valence shell and do not usually attract electrons. The lanthanides and actinides possess more complicated chemistry that does not generally follow any trends. Therefore, noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides do not have electronegativity values.

As for the transition metals, although they have electronegativity values, there is little variance among them across the period and up and down a group. This is because their metallic properties affect their ability to attract electrons as easily as the other elements.

According to these two general trends, the most electronegative element is fluorine, with 3.98 Pauling units.
