Chemistry
1 answer:
pishuonlain [190]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. K

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the trends in the Periodic Table:

  • Atomic radii <em>decrease</em> from left to right across a Period.
  • Atomic radii <em>increase</em> from top to bottom in a Group.
  • Ionic radii of metal cations are <em>smaller</em> than those of their atoms.

Thus, the largest atoms are in the lower left corner of the Periodic Table.

The diagram below shows that K is closest to the lower left, so it is the largest atom. It is also larger than any of the cations.

A sample of a compound contains 3.21 g of sulfur and 11.4 g of fluorine. Which of the following represents the empirical formula
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sulfur = 3.21 grams

Mass of fluorine = 11.4 grams

Molar mass sulfur = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass fluorine = 19.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass /molar mass

Moles sulfur = 3.21 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles sulfur = 0.100 moles

Moles fluorine = 11.4 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles fluorine = 0.600 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.100 / 0.100 = 1

F : 0.600 / 0.100 = 6

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Why are valence electrons important
koban [17]

Explanation:

The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are the valence electrons. These electrons are the most loosely held in an atom.

The energy required to remove these electrons are not as great as those of the inner shell electrons.

  • Atoms of some elements show no tendency to combine with other  atoms because they have completely filled outer energy levels.
  • Their outermost shell, valence shell and the electron numbers are complete for them. These are the noble gases.
  • other atoms share or exchange their valence electrons in order to have a stable configuration.
  • The valence electrons are involve in inter-atomic bond formation and interactions
  • Also the distribution of these electrons determines inter-molecular interactions between molecules.
