What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion

Chemistry

DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago

The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

The reaction between calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and HCl produces calcium chloride (CaCl2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O).
Lisa [10]

When the hydrogen chloride concentration doubles, the number of collisions between the reactants becomes increased, which causes the rate of the forward reaction to be faster.

<h3>What is the rate of a reaction?</h3>

The rate of a reaction is how fast a chemical reaction occurs i.e. the conversion of reactants to products.

The rate of a chemical reaction can be influenced by certain factors including the concentration of reactants.

The more the concentration of a reactant, the more the collision between the reactants and hence, the faster the reaction will proceed.

Therefore, when the hydrogen chloride concentration doubles, the number of collisions between the reactants becomes increased, which causes the rate of the forward reaction to be faster

Alcohol or acid will travel the furthest up the paper chromatography? pls help thanks and explain
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Yes.

The distance that the molecules move depends on their solubility in the solvent and the size of the molecules. Heavy molecules will travel slower and therefore travel a shorter distance in the time the chromatography is run.

We know from such things as felt tip pens that colourings can be soluble in different solvents. Water soluble felt pens have colours that are - well - water soluble. Permanent felt pens have colours that are insoluble in water but that are soluble in another solvent. This could well be alcohol.

The water soluble colours may also be soluble in alcohol. The solubility in alcohol will be different from the solubility in alcohol, and so the Rf value ( the distance travelled) will also be different.

Because of the complicated shapes of the colours, the colours may not have the same order in the Rf values in the different solvents.

50.0 g of NaNO3 are dissolved into enough water to make 250 mL of solution. What is the molarity of this solution?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

2.35 M

Explanation:

Molarity is mol/L of solution. We have to convert the g to mol and the mL to L. G to mol uses the molar mass of the compound. The molar mass of NaNO₃ is 85.00g/mol.

50.0gNaNO3*\frac{1molNaNO3}{85.00gNaNO3} = 0.588molNaNO3

Then you have to convert mL to L.

250mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL} = 0.250L

Now divide the mol by the L.

\frac{0.588mol NaNO3}{0.250L} = 2.352 M

Round to the smallest number of significant figures = 2.35M

The escape of gas through a small hole in a container
Doss [256]
<span>The escape of gas through a small hole in a container is called effusion. This phenomenon happens when the diameter of the hole is small enough compared to the mean free path of the gas particles. This is governed by Graham's Law which states that the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the molecular weight of the gas.</span>
