Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Explanation:
Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)
Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)
Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) , Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).
Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Ok first, we have to create a balanced equation for the dissolution of nitrous acid.
HNO2 <-> H(+) + NO2(-)
Next, create an ICE table
HNO2 <--> H+ NO2-
[]i 0.139M 0M 0M
Δ[] -x +x +x
[]f 0.139-x x x
Then, using the concentration equation, you get
4.5x10^-4 = [H+][NO2-]/[HNO2]
4.5x10^-4 = x*x / .139 - x
However, because the Ka value for nitrous acid is lower than 10^-3, we can assume the amount it dissociates is negligable,
assume 0.139-x ≈ 0.139
4.5x10^-4 = x^2/0.139
Then, we solve for x by first multiplying both sides by 0.139 and then taking the square root of both sides.
We get the final concentrations of [H+] and [NO2-] to be x, which equals 0.007M.
Then to find percent dissociation, you do final concentration/initial concentration.
0.007M/0.139M = .0503 or
≈5.03% dissociation.
Explanation:
Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) is used in many organic synthesis and is a strong base. It is prepared by the acid base reaction of N,N-diisopropylamine ( [(CH₃)₂CH]₂NH ) and butyllithium ( Li⁺⁻CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃ ).
The equation is show below as:
[(CH₃)₂CH]₂NH + Li⁺⁻CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃ ⇒ [(CH₃)₂CH]₂N⁻Li⁺ + CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃
N,N-diisopropylamine ( [(CH₃)₂CH]₂NH ) is a weaker acid and hence, LDA ( [(CH₃)₂CH]₂N⁻Li⁺ ) is stronger base. (Weaker acid has stronger conjugate base)
Butyllithium ( Li⁺⁻CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃ ) is a very strong base and hence, butane ( CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃ ) is a very weak acid. (Strong base has weaker conjugate acid)
Answer:
a) Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²
b) Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+
c) Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺
Explanation:
(a) Se²⁻, S²⁻, O²⁻
In general, ionic radius decreases with increasing positive charge.
As the charge on the ion becomes more positive, there are fewer electrons.
The ion has a smaller radius. In general, ionic radius increases with increasing negative charge.
For ions of the same charge (e.g. in the same group) the size increases as we go down a group in the periodic table
Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²
(b) Te²⁻, Cs⁺, I⁻
Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+
Te2- hast the biggest size, because of the double negative charge.
Cs+ has the smallest size since it has the most positive charge, compared to Te2- and I-.
(c) Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cs⁺
Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺
Cs+ has the biggest size, because its more downward (compared to Sr2+) and more to the left (compared) ot Ba2+.
Sr2+ has the smallest size because it's more upwords (compared to Cs+ and Ba2+)
