Answer:

Reduction in effective nuclear charge due to the filling of 3d sub-shell

Explanation:

Although, according to the trend in the periodic table, the size of shell go on increasing but an anomaly in Group 13 s observed in case of Aluminium and Gallium. Gallium should have a bigger shell configuration according to the trend but it is small as compared due to the first filling of 3d sub-shell by electron as we can see from their electronic configurations as:

Aluminium = [Ne] 3s² 3p¹

Gallium = [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p1

Is C8H18 an electrolyte or non-electrolyte
podryga [215]

C₈H₁₈ is a non-electrolyte

Why?

Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. In order to do that, they need to have bonds that are polar enough to be able to dissociate, and the ions formed need to be soluble in water.

C₈H₁₈ is a compound that has a low electronegativity difference between its atoms, making it to be a covalent compound where electrons are shared, and making it non-polar, and difficult to dissociate. Thus, it is a non-electrolyte.

One possible structure for C₈H₁₈ is attached below. It's called octane.

Have a nice day!

HELP PLEASE! :( 
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Part 1: W = 116 Y = 163

Part 2: Since 232 is the mailing point of 2 kg then you would divide 232 by 2 to get the melting point for 1 kg, the same with Y.
