Explain how chemists can state with certainty that no one will discover an element that would appear on the periodic table betwe

en sulfur (S) and chlorine (CI)

6 0
Sulfur has 16 protons and chlorine has 17 protons. Since the placement on the periodic table is equal to the number of protons, and also since it is impossible to have an element with a non-whole number of protons, there can be no element between sulfur and chlorine.

How many of grams of CuSO4 are in 475ml of a 2.0M aqueous solution
Anettt [7]

Answer:

151.63 g

Explanation:

We first get the number of moles;

Moles = Molarity × volume

          = 2.0 × 0.475

          = 0.95 moles

1 mole of CuSO4 = 159.609 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass = moles × molar mas

         = 0.95 moles × 159.609 g/mol

         = 151.63 g

How many U.S. gallons are there in a cubic mile? The total proven oil reserves of the U.S. are roughly 30 x 10°bbl. How many cub
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

1 cubic mile = 1.101 * 10^12 US gallons

1 US bbl oil = 42 US gallons = 3.8143*10^ -11 cubic miles

Explanation:

The number of the exponent of the oil reserve is not very well shown in the question so, I provide you the conversion of bbl oil into cubic mile, the only thing you have to do is multiply the number of bbls of the reserve for the conversion in cubic miles and you'll have the answer.

Which of the following is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds? 1. Li 2. Cl 3. N 4. H 5. F
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. So, to attain stability it will loose an electron and hence, it forms a single bond.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons. Hence, in order to attain stability it will gain one electron and therefore, it forms a single bond only.

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Therefore, to attain stability it needs to gain 3 more electrons. Hence, a nitrogen atom is able to form a triple bond and also it is able to form a double bond.

Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and it attains stability by gaining one electron. Therefore, a hydrogen atoms always forms a single bond.

Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. To complete its octet it needs to gain one electron. Hence, a fluorine atom always forms a single bond.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options nitrogen is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds.

What is the mole ratio of N2 to NO2 in the question ... N2 + 2O2-> 2NO2
GREYUIT [131]
The reaction equation is already balanced. So the mole ration of reactants and production is the ratio of the coefficients. So the mole ratio of N2 to NO2 is 1:2.

positive ions are smaller than the ions from which they are formed but negative ions are larger than the is from which they are
Vadim26 [7]
Positive ions are atoms that have lost an electron from its outtermost shell. It is positive because electrons are negative and the loss of something negative makes it a bit more positive.
A negative ion is larger than its original atom because it's gained an electron.

The more electrons an atomic has on its electron cloud, the bigger the atom.

Hopefully I didn't confuse you, good luck. ♡
