Explanation:
b. What useful functions do oxidation numbers serve?
It is used to show oxidation and reduction (loss and gain of electrons)
b. How many molecules are in 1 mole of molecules?
1 mole = 6.022 * 10^23 molecules
c. What is the name given to the number of molecules in 1 mole?
Avogadro's Number of molecules
21. a. What is the molar mass of an element?
This is the mass of an element divided by the number of moles.
Molar mass = Mass / Number of moles
b. Write the molar mass rounded to two decimal places of carbon, neon, iron and uranium.
amu = Atomic Mass Unit
Carbon = 12.01 amu
Neon = 20.18 amu
Iron = 55.85 amu
Uranium = 238.03 amu
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
- When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.
Strength, the capacity of the invi elements
