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.

Most atoms have no net charge because they have
Ne4ueva [31]

Atoms have no electric charge because the protons and electrons "cancel out" each others charges. Neutrons have no charge. What is the atomic number of an element? The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.

Hope this helps have a great day :)

How many hydrogen atoms are in each molecule of trisilylamine?
lord [1]

Answer:

  • <u>9</u>

Explanation:

The amine functional group is obtained by subsititution of one or more hydrogen atoms in the ammonia compound.

Ammonia is NH₃.

Then,

  • by substituting one hydrogen you obtain R - NH₂.

  • by substituting two hydrogens you obtain R' - NH - R''

  • by subsituting the three hydrogens you obtain:

                        R'''

                         |

                 R' -  N - R''

In this case, the three subsitutuents are silyl groups. The silyl group is derived form silane and is SiH₃. So, the tcompound <em>trisilylamine</em> is:

                    SiH₃

                      |

          SiH₃ -  N - SiH₃

Thus, you can count 3 hydrogen atoms for every silylgroup for a total of <u><em>9 hydrogen atoms in each molecule of trisilylamine.</em></u>
