Isoelectronic means equal number of electrons.

The method to determine if elements are sioelectronic is:

1) Determine the atomic number of the element (search the element in the periodic table).

2) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons (always, by definition).

3) If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

3) If the species is not neutral then:

     - if it is a negative ion, add as many electrons as the magnitude of the charge of the ion

    - if iit is a positive ion, subtract as many electrons as the magnitude of the charge of the ion.

4) One by one
<span>
species          atomic number              charge          number of electrons
                      number of protons

O₂,                    8                                     0                 8 (each atom)
F-                     9                                      -1               9 + 1 = 10    
Ne                  10                                      0                10
Na                  11                                       0               11

So, in that group only F- and Ne are isoelectronic, each with 10 electrons

Se2-               34                                      -2                34 + 2 = 36
Br-                  35                                      -1                35 + 1 = 36
Kr                   36                                       0                36
Rb+                37                                      +1               37 - 1 = 36

So, in that group all are isoelectronic.
   
I-                     53                                     -1                 53 + 1 = 54
Xe                   54                                     0                  54
Cs                   55                                     0                  55  
Ba2+               56                                    +2                 55 - 2 = 53

So, in that group only I- and Xe are isoelectronic.

g A spontaneous process is one in which: A. releases a large amount of heat B. may happen (is possible) C. will rapidly approach
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

A. releases a large amount of heat

Explanation:

A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can proceed on its own without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous reaction is not determined by the length of time, because some spontaneous reactions are completed after a long period of time. They are exothermic in nature. An example is the conversion of graphite to carbon which takes a long period of time to complete. Spontaneous reactions are known to increase entropy in a system. Entropy is the rate of disorder in a system.

In the combustion of fire, energy is released to the surroundings as there is a decrease in energy. This is an example of a spontaneous reaction because it is an exothermic reaction, which causes an increase in entropy and a decrease in energy.

Which of the following is not a reason why actual yield is less than theoretical yield?
Gnom [1K]
Your answer is B, conservation of mass


Recall that percent yield is given by: %Yeild = actual yeild/theoretical yeild x100

During experiments, there are errors made:

• uncertainty in measurements

• losses of reactants and products

• impurity in reactants

• losses during separation (e.g. filtration or purification)

• Some side reactions might also happen.



Among the given options, only conservation of mass does not contribute to a lower actual yield compared to the theoretical yield.
