Which is easier to remove: a valence electron from, Li or Na? Explain why.

Chemistry
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
7 0

The atomic number of Li is 3

Electron configuration of Li : 1s² 2s¹

The atomic number of Na is 11

Electron configuration of Na : 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹

Thus there is one electron in the valence shell of Li (2s¹) and that of Na (3s¹). However, the valence electron in Na is in a shell that is farther away from the nucleus compared to that of Li. As a result, the Na valence electron will be held less tightly by the nucleus i.e. it will experience a reduced nuclear attraction and can be removed easily than the Li 2s electron.

Complete the charge balance equation for an aqueous solution of h2co3 that ionizes to hco−3 and co2−3.
Zielflug [23.3K]

The charge balance equation for an aqueous solution of H₂CO₃ that ionizes to HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁻² is [HCO₃⁻] =  2[CO₃⁻²] + [H⁺] + [OH⁻]

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

The equation for aqueous solution of H₂CO₃ is

H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂

The charge balance equation is

[HCO₃⁻] =  2[CO₃⁻²] + [H⁺] + [OH⁻]

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The charge balance equation for an aqueous solution of H₂CO₃ that ionizes to HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁻² is [HCO₃⁻] =  2[CO₃⁻²] + [H⁺] + [OH⁻]

How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potential energy?
marin [14]

Answer:

B. mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Both mass and height have the same effect on the gravitational potential energy of body.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of a body due to that of another body. It usually the energy at rest in a body.

It is mathematically expressed as;

 G.P.E  = m x g x h

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

We see that both the height and mass are directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy and as such, they have the same effect.

Look at the following balanced equation. How many atoms of oxygen (O) are present on the reactant side of the equation?
balu736 [363]

There are 6 atoms of oxygen on the reactant side of the following equation: 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2. Details about atoms can be found below.

<h3>How to find number of atoms?</h3>

The number of atoms of an element in a balanced equation is the amount of that element involved in the reaction.

According to this question, Iron oxide reacts with carbon to produce iron and carbon dioxide as follows:

2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2

In this reaction, 2 × 3 atoms = 6 atoms of oxygen are present on the reactant side of the equation.

Refer to the electron distribution to answer 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s¹. What would be the period or series number of
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

C.5

Explanation:

A number of electrons present in valence shell of penultimate Shell represents the group of elements.

For s block elements: no.of group=number of valence shell electron.

p block elements: no. of group= 2 + 10 + number of valence electrons.

d block elements: no. of group= number(n-1)d electrons + number of electrons in nth shell.

Here, the differential electron is in p orbital hence, it belongs to p block

No. of group= 2+ 10 + 3=15 i.e 15th group or VA group.
