Which element in period 4 has the highest electronegativity

Chemistry

<span>Electronegativity is the property of an element that measures the ability of it to attract and form electron bonds. The trend in the periodic table in terms of electronegativity decreases from right to left and from top to bottom. In the case of period 4, the element with the highest electronegativity is bromine. </span>

Answer:

Bromine (Br) has the highest electronegativity.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract the bonding electrons towards itself.

In general, electronegativity increases on moving from left to right across a period. Therefore, the most electronegative elements occupy the rightmost column of the periodic table. This is because, on moving across a period the atomic number increases which increases the nuclear charge on the atom. As a result, the electrons around the vicinity of such atoms feel a strong nuclear pull.

Although, noble gases occupy the last column on the right of the periodic table, they already have completely filled octets and hence in general do not exhibit electronegativity. Therefore, it is the halogen group which precede the noble gases, that are the most electronegative. Period 4, terminates with the halogen, bromine (Br) which is the most electronegative.

Does data from mass spectrometry indicate that modern scientists have made modifications to Dalton''s model? Justify.
Gelneren [198K]
John Dalton was a scientist who proposed that all matter consists of atoms. At this stage, no one had yet discovered neutrons and the nucleus. As a result, Dalton's model consisted of a single atom i.e. the atom was the smallest object. 
A mass spectrometer is an instrument that is able to see what is inside an atom. Scientists have been able to prove that the item is not the smallest object in the world. Atoms are made up of smaller objects called protons, neutrons and electrons. 
We can, therefore, safely conclude that data  from mass spectrometry has helped modern scientists to make modifications to Dalton's model. <span>

24 g of magnesium were burned in oxygen. The compound formed had a mass of 40 g. Explain why the mass had gone up.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer :

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants must be equal to the mass of products.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

Mg+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow MgO

As we know that the molar mass of magnesium is 24 g/mole, the molar mass of O_2 is 32 g/mole and the molar mass of magnesium oxide is 40 g/mole.

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of magnesium react \frac{1}{2} mole of oxygen to give 1 mole of magnesium oxide.

So, the mass of Mg is 24 g, the mass of O_2=\frac{1}{2}\times 32=16g and the mass of MgO is 40 g.

That means 24 g of Mg react with 16 g O_2 to give 40 g of MgO.

What is the PH of a solution with (H+) = 7.0 * 10^-12? A. 11.15 B. -11.15 C. 12.85 D -12.00
larisa [96]

Answer: A. 11.15

Explanation:

The pH of a solution is given by the formular; pH = -log [H+].

pH = - log [ 7.0 x 10 ∧-12]

     = 12 - log 7

     =  12 - 0.845

     =  11.15
