Answer:

The correct answer is barium.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the valence shell of an atom of an element.

Bismuth has atomic number of 83.

[Bi]=[Xe]6s^26p^3

Number of valence electron = 5

Boron has atomic number of 5.

[B]=[He]2s^22p^1

Number of valence electron = 3

Barium has atomic number of 56.

[Ba]=[Xe]6s^2

Number of valence electron = 2

Bromine has atomic number of 35.

[Br]=[Ar]4s^24p^5

Number of valence electron = 7

Barium is one of the element in the given options which possesses fewest number of valence electrons

Bismuth has 5 valence electrons
Boron has 3 valence electrons 
Barium has 2 valence electrons
Bromine has 7 valence electrons

So therefore, the correct answer would be Barium.

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.
