A) It decreases because the distance between the nucleus and outermost shell increases

4 0

Answer: It increases because the outermost electrons are attracted more strongly by protons.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a gaseous atom. Metals have low ionization energy as they tend to attain stable configuration by losing the valence electrons.

The size of an atom decreases as we move across the period because the electrons get added to the same shell and the nuclear charge keeps on increasing. Thus the electrons get more tightly held by the nucleus.

As, the size of an element decreases, the valence electrons come near to the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons increases and thus ionization energy increases.

Hence, the correct statement is It increases because the outermost electrons are attracted more strongly by protons.

B) Ethane has the formula C2H6. In terms of electronic structure,
k0ka [10]

Answer:

There is one single covalent bond between two carbon atoms.

Explanation:

We know that sharing of electrons form covalent bonds.

If we look upon K,L,M ,N shells of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.

We found that Hydrogen is having only  1 electron in K shell.

And Carbon on the other hand is having 2 electrons in K shell and 4 electrons in L shell.

So carbon have  4 valence electrons,and it can share 4 bonds with any relevant atom to complete its octet.

And Hydrogen requires  1 electron to complete its doublet.

Alkane general formula C_{n}H_{2n+2}

For ethane n=2

C_{2}H_{4+2} = C_{2}H_{6}

1 Carbon atom is shared by  3 Hydrogen.

The remaining one electron (4-3)=1 of carbon will be shared with another carbon atom.

An image of the sharing of electrons attached below,

Hence we have only  1 covalent bond between the two.

Which statements are true about reversible reactions?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Reversible reactions exhibit the same reaction rate for forward and reverse reactions at equilibrium.

Reversible reactions exhibit constant concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium

Explanation:

A reversible reaction is a reaction that can proceed in both forward and backward direction.

Equilibrium is attained in a chemical system when there is no observable change in the properties of the system.

At equilibrium, a reversible reaction is occurring in at same rate. That is, the forward and backward reaction is occurring at the same rate. As the rate of the forward and backward reaction remains the same, the concentrations of the reactants and products will also be the same in order for the equilibrium to be maintained.

Relate dark matter to the development of the universe after the Big Bang. In 3-5 sentences, speculate on how the development of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Dark matter makes up 85% of the mass of the universe. Dark matter is not directly observable because it doesn't interact with any electromagnetic wave. In the development of the universe, without dark matter, the universe will not function, move or rotate as it does now (this speculation led to the quest to find the anomaly of mass and energy in the known universe, eventually leading to the idealization of dark matter) and will not have enough gravitational force to hold it together.  After the big bang,<em> the presence of dark matter and energy ensured that the newly formed universe didn't just float away, rather, it provided enough gravitational force to hold the universe while still allowing it to expand sufficiently</em>.

The development of the universe would have been different without the universe in the sense that the young universe won't have enough mass to hold it together, and the universe would have simply floated apart. The behavior of the universe would have been different from what we observe now, and some physical laws that applies now will not apply to the universe.
