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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
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.

What volume of H2O(g) is produced when 8.00 mol of C2H4(g) reacts at STP?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
* Mole ratio:

C2H4 + 3 O2= 2 CO2 + 2 H2O

1 mole C2H4 --------------- 2 moles H2O
8.00 moles C2H4 ---------- ?

8.00 x 2 / 1 => 16 moles of H2O

Therefore:

1 mole --------- 22.4 L at ( STP)
16 moles ------- ?

16 x 22.4 / 1 => 358.4 L

hope this helps!

Explain Wurtz reaction with an example ~​
Deffense [45]

Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Please bear in mind that wurtz reaction fails whenever tertiary alkyl halides are used.

An example of Wurtz reaction is given below:

2R – X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na + X−

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds can simply be defined as those classes of organic molecules which contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds).

Below are some few general characteristics of organic compounds:

  • All organic compounds contain carbon.

  • Most of them are flammable.

  • They are all soluble in non-polar solvents

  • Most organic compounds / substances are covalently bonded molecules

Some classes of organic compounds are:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkenes

So therefore, Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution
