What property of an atom determines its general reactivity

Chemistry
1 answer:
mario62 [17]3 years ago
3 0
The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. EX: noble gases have a low reactivity because they have a full electron shell, and don't need any more outermost ones.
EX: halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell

Classify the following substituents according to whether they are electron donors or electron acceptors relative to hydrogen by
igor_vitrenko [27]

Species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

<h3>What is resonance?</h3>

The term resonace has to do with the movement of electron pairs in a molecule. Inductive effects has to do with the drawing of electron density towards an atom or bond.

The two effects depends on the nature of a substituent. For instance, species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

The question is incomplete hence the exact nature of the substituents can not be determined.

A 3.140 molal solution of NaCl is prepared. How many grams of NaCl are present in a sample containing 2.314 kg of water?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

g NaCl = 424.623 g

Explanation:

<em>C</em> NaCl = 3.140 m = 3.140 mol NaCl / Kg solvent

∴ solvent: H2O

∴ mass H2O = 2.314 Kg

mol NaCl:

⇒ mol NaCl = (3.140 mol NaCl/Kg H2O)×(2.314 Kg H2O) = 7.266 mol NaCl

∴ mm NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

⇒ g NaCl = (7.266 mol NaCl)×(58.44 g/mol) = 424.623 g NaCl

The following equilibrium is formed when copper and bromide ions are placed in a solution:
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A)

1. Reaction will shift rightwards towards the products.

2. It will turn green.

3. The solution will be cooler..

B) It will turn green.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the stated equilibrium:

heat + Cu(H_2O)_6 ^{+2} (blue) + 4Br^- \rightleftharpoons 6H_2O + CuBr_4^{-2} (green)

In such a way, by thinking out the Le Chatelier's principle, we can answer to each question:

A)

1. If potassium bromide, which adds bromide ions, is added more reactant is being added to the solution, therefore, the reaction will shift rightwards towards the products.

2. The formation of the green complex is favored, therefore, it will turn green.

3. The solution will be cooler as heat is converted into "cold" in order to reestablish equilibrium.

B) In this case, as the heat is a reactant, if more heat is added, more products will be formed, which implies that it will turn green.

Regards.
