Why are the electron affinities of the group 4a elements more negative than those of the group 5a elements?

1 answer:

8 0

The electron subshells in the atoms of group 5a elements discourage electron addition.

This is because the subshells in the group 5a elements are already half-filled, which is a more stable electronic configuration that that which would be achieved if another electron was added.
Meanwhile, group 4a elements' subshell becomes half-filled when an electron is added, making them somewhat stable. This means that they prefer electron addition.

How is beryllium similar to calcium?

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The second column on the periodic table of the chemical elements is collectively called the alkaline earth metal group: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties.

What is the limiting reactant in a reaction where 10.0 mol of iron is treated with 12.0 mol of bromine? The product that forms i

hammer [34]

Answer: The limiting reagent in the reaction is bromine.

Explanation:

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

Given values:

Moles of iron = 10.0 moles

Moles of bromine = 12.0 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of iron and bromine follows:

$2Fe+3Br_2\rightarrow 2FeBr_3$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 3 moles of bromine reacts with 2 moles of iron

So, 12.0 moles of bromine will react with = $\frac{2}{3}\times 12.0=8moles$ of iron

As the given amount of iron is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, bromine is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

Thus, the limiting reagent in the reaction is bromine.

Put the steps in process of photosythensis order

arlik [135]

Answer:

Step 1- CO2 and H2O enter the leaf.

Step 2- Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2.

Step 3- The electrons move down to enzymes.

Step 4-Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH

Step 5-The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.

Step 6-The calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose

Step 7-calvin cycle. The second of two major stages in photosynthesis (following the light reactions), involving atmospheric CO2 fixation and reduction of the fixed carbon into carbohydrate.

Hope this helps : D
