58. Explain why each successive ionization of an electron

Chemistry

Answer:

It's because removal of electron from an atom, reduces the size of an atom.

Explanation:

When an electron is removed from an atom, it becomes an ion and in this case it will become a postive ion.

When an electron is removed from an atom, the charge balance of an atom is disturbed and positive charge increases in comparison to the negative charge. This results in increase nuclear (positive) charge which exerts greater attraction on the remaining electrons and as a result the remaining electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus and in this way the atomic size is decreased. Due to this increased nuclear attraction and reduced atomic size, it bcomes difficult to remove more electeon from the positively charged ion of reduced size. This is the reason that each successive ionization of electron requires a greater amount of energy.

The ionization energy has inverse relation with the size or radius of an atom. This also justifies the reason that why each successive ionization of an electron requires greater amount of energy.

Ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/cm3. What is the mass of 423 cm3 of ethanol? M = (D)(V)
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 334 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of ethanol = 423 cm³

density = 0.789 g/cm³

So we have

mass = 0.789 × 423 = 333.747

We have the final answer as

<h3>334 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

C. identify a set of four possible quantum numbers for the circled electron in manganese (mn). (there is more than one correct a
steposvetlana [31]
Although you have not provided the circled electron, I can help you with a wide explanation.

1) Atomic number of manganese is 25. That means that it has 25 protons and 25 electrons.

2) Those 25 electrons are distributed (electron configuration) as per the quantum rules:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁵

3) The most reasonable is that you have been asked to give the possible quantum numbers for an electron in the 4s or 3d.

4) Those are 7 electrons and these are their possible sets of quantum numbers:
i) For the two electrons in 4s: 
n is the main energy level so n = 4
l tells the kind of orbital, which is s, so l = 0
ml is also 0 (it can be from -l to + l, so given that l i s0, ml is 0)
ms: one is +/12 and the other is -1/2 (this is the spin number).


ii) For the 5 electrons in 3d

n = 3
l can be 0, 1, or 2
if l = 0, then ml = 0

if l = 1, then ml can be -1, 0 , or 1 (from - l to + l)


ms can be either +1/2 or - 1/2 (spin)

The octane number of gasoline is a measure of octane activity. The octane activity is determined by comparing the engine perform
Semmy [17]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

The octane number is determined by comparing the characteristics of gasoline to isooctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) and heptane. The correct option is option A.

Basically, the higher the octane  number, the  greater the resistance of the gasoline to knocking.
