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

Chemistry

Evgen [1.6K]4 years ago

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 does scientific method help scientists
Irina18 [472]

Scientists use the scientific method all the time to help them understand things about certain topics. The scientific method is a list of steps that are used before, during, and after the experiment. The scientific method can help prove hypothesis about things and can tell you the outcome of the experiment.

A solute is a strong electrolyte that ionizes into 2 ions. What is the molar mass of this solute if 30.76 grams added to exactly
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

34.9 g/mol is the molar mass for this solute

Explanation:

Formula for boiling point elevation: ΔT = Kb . m . i

ΔT = Temperatures 's difference between pure solvent and solution → 0.899°C

Kb = Ebullioscopic constant → 0.511°C/m

m = molality (moles of solute/1kg of solvent)

i = 2 → The solute is a strong electrolyte that ionizes into 2 ions

For example: AB ⇒ A⁺  +  B⁻

Let's replace → 0.899°C = 0.511 °C/m . m . 2

0.899°C / 0.511 m/°C . 2 = m → 0.879 molal

This moles corresponds to 1 kg of solvent. Let's determine the molar mass

Molar mass (g/mol) → 30.76 g / 0.879 mol = 34.9 g/mol

Do the number of protons in an atom of an element always equals its atomic weight.
Elenna [48]
No. The number of a protons is not equal to it's atomic weight, instead it is equal to the 'atomic number'
