Answer:

Radon

Explanation:

Group eighteen elements are called noble gases. This group includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.

Radon is present at the last of this column.

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

Thus radon has largest atomic radius.

Give the empirical formula for C↓8H↓8

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH

Explanation:

Data Given:

Molecular Formula = C₈H₈

Empirical Formula = ?

Solution

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

C₈H₈ Consist of Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)

Now

Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound

C : H

8 : 8

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

C : H

8/8 : 8/8

1 : 1

So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1

So the empirical formula will be

Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH

3.65 gram of hcl is dissolved in 180 gram of water. Find the total number of molecules of hydrogen

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

$Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=1.206x10^{25}molec$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, taking into account that HCl has one molecule of hydrogen per mole of compound which weights 36.45 g/mol, we compute the number of molecules of hydrogen in hydrochloric acid by considering the given mass and the Avogadro's number:

$molec_{\ H}=3.65gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.45gHCl} *\frac{1molH}{1molHCl}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molec_\ H}{1molH} =6.03x10^{22}molec$

Now, from the 180 g of water, we see two hydrogen molecules per molecule of water, thus, by also using the Avogadro's number we compute the molecules of hydrogen in water:

$molec_{\ H}=180gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O} *\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molec_\ H}{1molH} =1.20x10^{25}molec$

Thus, the total number of molecules turns out:

$Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=6.03x10^{22}+1.20x10^{25}\\\\Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=1.206x10^{25}molec$

Regards.

Describe the properties of alkali metals. Based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

What is moment and its calculations

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Moment=Force x Pivot

Explanation:

A moment is the turning effect of a force. Moments act about a point in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

Law of moments:

When an object is balanced (in equilibrium) the sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.

How to calculate moments:

Moment=Force x Pivot

What happens to the density of a substance when it is heated? Explain your answer.

hoa [83]

Heating a substance causes molecules to speed up and spread slightly further apart, occupying a larger volume that results in a decrease in density. Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density.
