How do the properties of a compound like h2o or nacl illustrate the concept of emergent properties?

Chemistry

Softa [21]3 years ago

Answer and explanation;

Na - metal

Cl - poisonous gas

NaCl - cyrstaline solid that is edible

An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has, but which the individual members do not.  

Water emergent properties: cohesion & adhesion, versatile solvent, temperature moderation, freezing.

The properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements that make them, for example, Sodium is an explosive metal, and  Chlorine is a toxic gas, however, sodium chloride is a Delicious table salt!

Answer:

Darmstadtium

Explanation:

An element with the electronic configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶7s²5f¹⁴6d⁸ has 110 electrons in its electron shells.

Since the element is a neutral atom, this number is also equal to its atomic number. Therefore, its atomic number is 110.

The element in the period table that has an atomic number of 110 is Darmstadtium, a d-block element, thus a transittion metal. It also belong to period 7 in the Periodic table of elements.

Polar solvents dissolve____solutes and nonpolar solvents____solutes.
Ber [7]

Generally speaking only certain molecules will dissolve in water to begin with. The old phrase "like dissolves like" or "birds of a feather flock together" is very true with respect to what degree solutes are soluble or miscible in different solvents. At very low concentrations, almost all molecules are somewhat soluble in all solvents. But by trend, ionic and polar solutes are more soluble in polar solvents and non-polar molecules are soluble in non-polar (mostly organic) solvents. The units of concentration we just discussed are used to describe the degree to which a solute is soluble in a solvent.

When you place a non-polar molecule in a polar solvent (like oil in water) the molecules try to minimize surface contact between them. (like you and a guy with a cold on an elevator). This is actually the basis for the cells in our bodies. The lipids (oily fatty acids) form our cell membranes so that their non-polar tails face inward away from the polar cytoplasm and the polar heads face towards the polar cytoplasm.
