IE is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. As atomic radius increases, the valence electrons get farther from

the nucleus. How do you think an atom’s size will affect its ability to hold on to its valence electrons? Why?

Bond [772]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The bigger the atom the lesser the ability of the atom to hold on to its valence electrons.

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be looked at as the distance between the nucleus and the outermost energy level. As an atom gets bigger, the outer shell gets further and further from the positive nucleus. this means that electrons that are in the outer energy level become less held (attracted) by the nucleus because of distance and shielding of the attractive forces by the electrons in the lower energy levels. This means that as an atom becomes bigger, its ability to hold on to its outer electrons lessens.

Bromium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 79br, with an atomic weight of 78.918 amu, and 81br, with an atomic weight of 80.9
saul85 [17]

The two different isotopes have weights :

w1 = 78.918 amu

w2 = 80.916 amu

average weight w3 = 79.903 amu

The mixing of two components can be modeled as

let the fraction of w1 be 'x'

hence w1. x + w2.(1-x)  = w3

now this is a linear equation in 'x'. Substituting the values we get

x = 0.507

hence the percentage of Br79 = 50.7% and the percentage of BR81 = 49.3%

3000 N is exerted for 4.0 seconds on a 9500 kg object.<br><br> What is the change in momentum?
WARRIOR [948]
Force is the change in momentum over a specific time. The change of momentum is therefore the force multiplied by the time that the force acts, so 3000x4.0=12000 N s=12000 kg m/s

Why don't astronauts use a fountain pen or a ball point pen with liquid ink in a spacecraft
mojhsa [17]
It's probably because there is no gravity which ballpoint pens need for inkflow to the tip.
