Answer:

Non-ferromagnetic materials tend to have paired electrons in each orbital.

Explanation:

The non ferromagnetic materials have all paired electrons in each orbital, or a small number of unpaired electrons.

This can be justified given that the pairing of electrons with opisite spins (one with -1/2 and the other with +1/2) counteracts the magnetic properties that the element could have.

Non-ferromagnetic materials tend to have paired electrons in each orbital or very less unpaired electrons.

Example - Neon, its atomic number is 10 and all the electrons are pared. Now, Aluminum. Its atomic number is 13 with the electronic configuration 3 $p^{1}$ i.e. only one unpaired electron in the p- orbital. Now, consider iron its atomic number is 26 and its configuration is 3 $d^{6}$ . It has more number of unpaired electrons. Thus, neon is non-magnetic, aluminum is also non-magnetic but iron is magnetic.

Calculate AH for the reaction: 2N2 (g) + 6H20 (g) → 302 (g) + 4NH3(g)

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

4NH₃ (g) + 3O₂ (g) ⇒ 2N₂ (g) + 6H₂ O(1)

Δ $H_r={\sum}{ \Delta }H_f(\text{product})-{\sum}{ \Delta }H_f(\text{reactant})$

ΔH r =(2ΔH f(N 2 )+6ΔH f (H 2 O(l)))−(4ΔH f (NH 3 (g))+3ΔH f (O 2 (g)))

ΔH rex =[2×0+6×(−286)]−[4×(−46)+3×0]=−1716+186

ΔH rex =−1532kJ/mol

Thermodynamics is a branch of physical chemistry that studies heat and its effects and interactions. Governed by the four main laws, thermodynamics plays a huge role in physics and chemistry, and is also responsible for the law of conservation of energy, a fundamental rule in science.

What's the oxidation number of Li in LiNO3

Studentka2010 [4]

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to set up an algebraic equation. Let us first understand the meaning of oxidation number.

The oxidation number is the formal charge assigned to an atom present in a molecule or formula unit

The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is the charge on the ion.

The algebraic sum of all oxidation number of atoms in a neutral compound is zero;

The radical NO₃ has a formal charge of -1;

let the oxidation number of Li = x

x + (-1) = 0
