In general, how can the periodic trends displayed by elements be explained?

Chemistry
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]3 years ago
8 0

The elements within a group in the table have similar properties. ... In general, how can the periodic trends displayed by elements be explained? What is the underlying cause of periodic trends? Trends in atomic size, ionization energy, ionic size, and electronegativity can be explained by variations in atomic structure.

<u>Answer:</u> The tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = 5715 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{5715yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

[A_o] = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process =  13 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{13}\\\\t=16864.4yrs

Hence, the tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

(there are 2 quetions) how is heat being transfered in:
alekssr [168]

Answer:

  1. Heat energy is transferred from homes by conduction through the walls, floor, roof and windows. It is also transferred from homes by convection. For example, cold air can enter the house through gaps in doors and windows, and convection currents can transfer heat energy in the loft to the roof tiles.
  2. Convection is the heat transfer due to the movement of a fluid, such as a gas or liquid, and carries heat energy away from the source of heat. When a substance is heated, it causes its particles to vibrate more. The more vibration, the more space they will take up and the less dense they will become.

I really hope it helps! ❤

Why is it important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule? (20 points NEED ANSWER
hjlf

It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;

                  Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.

                  Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;

                                      i) Magnetism

                                      ii) Phase of matter

                                       iii) Color

                                      iv) Reactivity

                                       v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>

Thallium has two stable isotopes, 203tl and 205tl. knowing that the atomic weight of thallium is 204.4, which isotope is the mor
Elza [17]
You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.

The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).

203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4

Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.

After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.

203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6

x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7

Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.

Why might a geologist ask an analytical chemist to help identify the minerals in a rock.
Stels [109]

A geologist would ask the analytical chemist to identify the rock's composition. Chemists gather data from afar and analyze matter back to earth.

<h3>Who is a geologist ?</h3>

A geologist is a scientist who focuses on the processes that shape terrestrial planets and the solid, liquid, and gaseous stuff that makes up Earth. Although training in physics, chemistry, biology, and other sciences are sometimes helpful, geologists typically pursue geology as their field of study. Geology includes a significant amount of field study (field work), even if many of its subdisciplines also involve laboratory and computer work.

Geologists look for natural resources like oil, gas, precious and base metals in the energy and mining industries. They are also in the vanguard of efforts to prevent and lessen the effects of natural disasters and hazards like earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and landslides.
