In atomic science, the z number refers to the number of __________ in the nucleus of an atom.

Chemistry

Sliva [168]3 years ago

By convention, the symbol Z is assigned to the number of protons in the nucleus, or simply, the atomic number of an element. This is actually used when you want to determine the effective nuclear charge of a specific electron of an element. The equation is:

Z* = Z - S
where
Z* is the effective nuclear charge
Z is the atomic number
S is the number of electrons between the electron in question and the nucleus

There is due to a phenomenon called the shielding effect. This effect states that the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the lesser is its pull of force to the nucleus. That is the reason why the valence electrons (outermost electrons) are the ones always involved in chemicals reactions. Because they are not that strongly bonded to the nucleus of an atom.

What happens on a molecular level when a diatomic molecule is a gas but is then cooled to a solid?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

As an example of the processes depicted in this figure, consider a sample of water. When gaseous water is cooled sufficiently, the attractions between H2O molecules will be capable of holding them together when they come into contact with each other; the gas condenses, forming liquid H2O. For example, liquid water forms on the outside of a cold glass as the water vapor in the air is cooled by the cold glass.

Explanation:

Hopefully that helps!

Explain in terns of atomic structure why barium has a lower first ionization energy than magnesium.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Barium has a greater radius than magnesium

Explanation:

Barium and magnesium are two elements which belong to the same group, group 2A. This means that the two elements have two valence electrons in their outer shell.

The difference is, however, since barium is lower in group than magnesium, it has more electron shells than magnesium and, therefore, its radius is greater. The attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electrons in barium is lower as a result, as force is inversely proportional to distance. Hence, a lower amount of energy is required to remove the valence electrons from barium.
