Answer:

The answer is NaF.

Explanation:

Lattice energy:

It can be define as "the amount of energy released when ions combine to from the ionic solids or energy required to break the compound into its ions"

Example:

Consider the example of ionic solid NaCl. The sodium chloride is formed when ions like Na+ and Cl - are combine. During the formation of NaCl crystals the energy is released which is called lattice energy of sodium chloride.

Dependence of lattice energy:

Lattice energy depend upon following factors:

1. Charges of the ions

2. Sizes of the ions

As the charge of ion increase the lattice energy also increase. There is a direst relationship between them.

The size of the ions and lattice energy have inverse relation. As the size decreases, lattice energy increases. Therefor, the compound NaF consist of smallest cation (Na+) and the smallest anion (F-) have largest lattice energy.

F= q1 × q2/ r²

As the size of ions decreases the distance between the oppositely charged ions in a ionic compound decreases. They will more tightly packed in a crystal and their center will more closer to each others hence increase the lattice energy.

$1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{4}$

Explanation:

S is in 3d period, so it has 3 levels

1 level has 2 electrons, 2d level 8 electrons, 3d level 6 electrons

$1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{4}$

Calculate the atomic mass of Carbon if the two common isotopes of carbon have masses of

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Average atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of C¹² = 98.89%

Abundance of C¹³ = 1.11%

Atomic mass of C¹² = 12.000 amu

Atomic mass of C¹³ = 13.003 amu

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass of carbon = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = (12.000×98.89)+(13.003×1.11) /100

Average atomic mass of carbon= 1186.68 + 14.43333 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 1201.11333 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 amu.

2.What two factors must be held constant for density to be a constant ratio?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Temperature and Pressure

Explanation:

Temperature and pressure cause change in volume.

So any change in volume will alter the ratio of density as given by equation of density.

Density = mass/ volume

Change in volume will alter the ratio.

Kindly mark it branliest if the answer is little bit satisfying.
