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

Chemistry

Evgen [1.6K]3 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.

Answer: In Galileo’s time, what was considered the “center of everything”? The Earth! All of the planets and even the Sun went around “us”. Of course, when Galileo saw the moons of Jupiter passing in front of the planet, and disappearing to show up again, it was clear to him that these moons went around Jupiter like our moon goes ‘round the Earth.

That did not set well with the Beliefs of the day, and that is at least one answer!

Wich has a larger percent by mass of sulfur - H2SO or H2S7O8?
Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

H2SO4 let S be x

2(1) + x + 4(-2) = 0

2 + x - 8 = 0

x - 6 = 0

x = 6

For H2S7O8 let S be x

2(1) + 7(x) + 8(-2) = 0

2 + 7x - 16 = 0

7x - 14 = 0

7x = 14

x = 14/7

x = 2

:- H2SO4 as the larger percentage
