How does electron repulsion in the outer shell cause anions to be larger than their atoms?

1 answer:

5 0

The anion is also larger than the atom because of electron-electron repulsion. As more electrons are added to the outer shell, and even to higher principle energy levels, the repulsion bewteen the negatively charged particles grows, pushing the shells farther from the nucleus.

What must take place for copper metal to be oxidized?

Oxana [17]

The copper would go under oxidation since it will be losing two electrons. Copper starts out with an oxidation number of zero, but in order to balance the compound of CuO with the Oxygen having an oxidation number of -2, a positive 2 is required

Acid & Base Calculations Calculate the hydronium ion concentration for each. Tell whether it is an acid or a base. 1. pH = 5

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Explanation:

pH is the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration present in a solution.

If the solution has high hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be low and the solution will be acidic. The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9
If the solution has low hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be high and the solution will be basic. The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14
The solution having pH equal to 7 is termed as neutral solution.

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use equation:

$pH=-\log[H_3O^+]$ ......(1)

To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH + pOH = 14 ........(2)

For 1:

We are given:

pH = 5.54

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$5.54=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=2.88\times 10^{-6}M$

Now, putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 5.54 + pOH

pOH = 8.46

The solution is acidic in nature.

For 2:

We are given:

pOH = 9.7

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 9.7 + pH

pH = 4.3

Now, putting values in equation 1, we get:

$4.3=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=5.012\times 10^{-5}M$

The solution is acidic in nature.

For 3:

We are given:

pH = 7.0

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$7.0=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.00\times 10^{-7}M$

Now, putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 7.0 + pOH

pOH = 7.0

The solution is neither acidic nor basic in nature.

For 4:

We are given:

pH = 12.9

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$12.9=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.26\times 10^{-13}M$

Now, putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 12.9 + pOH

pOH = 1.1

The solution is basic in nature.

For 5:

We are given:

pOH = 1.2

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 1.2 + pH

pH = 12.8

Now, putting values in equation 1, we get:

$12.8=-\log[H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.58\times 10^{-13}M$

The solution is basic in nature.

For 6:

We are given:

$[H_3O^+]=1\times 10^{-5}M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$pH=-\log(1\times 10^{-5})$

$pH=5$

Now, putting values in equation 2, we get:

14 = 5 + pOH

pOH = 9

The solution is acidic in nature.

Which of the following is an acceptable IUPAC name?(A) 3,6-dimethylheptane (B) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane (C) 5-methyl-3-ethylhepta

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

D) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

Explanation:

The rules for naming of alkanes with substituents.

1. The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain.

2.Numbering should be done in such a way that each substituent gets the least number.

3. Substituents whose name comes before the another substituents's name in the English alphabet is written first.

4. Substituents are written first with their location in the chain and the name of the parent chain is done. Numbers are separated from numbers by comma and numbers are separated from letters by using hyphen.

Considering (a) 3,6-dimethylheptane

Violation of Rule - 2 mentioned above

The numbering of the parent chain is not done in a right way. Numbering must be done such that each substituent gets the least number. So, The correct name is 2,5-dimethylheptane

Considering (b) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane

Violation of Rule - 1 mentioned above.

The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain. The parent chain selected is of 7 carbon atoms but the parent chain is of 8 carbon atoms. So, The correct name is 3,4-dimethyloctane

Considering (c) 5-methyl-3-ethylheptane

Violation of Rule - 3 mentioned above.

'e' comes before 'm' . So, ethyl- is written first than methyl- . So, The correct name is 3,6-dimethyloctane

Considering (d) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

This is a IUPAC name and following all the rules mentioned above.

Two reasons that a plant from a rain forest would not survive in a desert home?

ss7ja [257]

Answer: A planet from a rain forest would not survive in a desert home, for the fact they depend on water and as these live from water, without it, this leads to dehydration and with loss of water with plants, nothing is able to survive when it comes to a rain forest plant being in a desert home. Another reason is the high trees and leaves that are providing the plants enough sunlight or shade to grow, it guarantees to help keep the temperature normal. Being in a deserted area would mean that there would be a temperature change, something the plant is not used to. Without that needed shade and avoiding the scorching sun, they will die out from how different the temperature is, and how hot it is.

Explanation: I hope this helped you.
