An atom has 5 neutrons,2electrons and 4 protons what type of atom is it

Chemistry
1 answer:
satela [25.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Cation

Explanation:

Since the protons are greater than electrons, this means the atom has a net positive charge on it and is now called a cation.

As there are 4 protons, this means that the outermost shell has 2 valence electrons 2s1, 2s2 and this is Group 2 element. Looking at Periodic table, we find that this is beryllium 4Be5 and is denoted as Be^2+

State general trend for metal properties as you go left to right across a period
qwelly [4]

Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.

Electronegativity Trends

Electronegativity can be understood as a chemical property describing an atom's ability to attract and bind with electrons. Because electronegativity is a qualitative property, there is no standardized method for calculating electronegativity. However, the most common scale for quantifying electronegativity is the Pauling scale (Table A2), named after the chemist Linus Pauling. The numbers assigned by the Pauling scale are dimensionless due to the qualitative nature of electronegativity. Electronegativity values for each element can be found on certain periodic tables. An example is provided below.


From left to right across a period of elements, electronegativity increases. If the valence shell of an atom is less than half full, it requires less energy to lose an electron than to gain one. Conversely, if the valence shell is more than half full, it is easier to pull an electron into the valence shell than to donate one.

From top to bottom down a group, electronegativity decreases. This is because atomic number increases down a group, and thus there is an increased distance between the valence electrons and nucleus, or a greater atomic radius.

Important exceptions of the above rules include the noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides. The noble gases possess a complete valence shell and do not usually attract electrons. The lanthanides and actinides possess more complicated chemistry that does not generally follow any trends. Therefore, noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides do not have electronegativity values.

As for the transition metals, although they have electronegativity values, there is little variance among them across the period and up and down a group. This is because their metallic properties affect their ability to attract electrons as easily as the other elements.

According to these two general trends, the most electronegative element is fluorine, with 3.98 Pauling units.

Calculate the ph of a 0.17 m solution of c6h5nh3no3 (kb for c6h5nh2 = 3.8 x 10-10). record your ph value to 2 decimal places.
MatroZZZ [7]
<span>Mass of the solution = 0.17m
 Kb for C6H5NH2 = 3.8 x 10^-10
 We know Ka for C6H5NH2 = 1.78x10^-11
  We have Kw = Ka x Kb => Ka = Kw / Kb
  => (C2H5NH2)(H3O^+)/(C2H5NH3^+) => 1.78x10^-11 = K^2 / 0.17
 K^2 = 3 x 10^-12 => K = 1.73 x 10^-6.
 pH = -log(Kw(H3O^+)) = -log(1.73 x 10^-6) = 5.76</span>

- How many grams are in 4.6 x 1016 molecules of phosphorus trichloride (PCI)?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

0.0000101 grams.

Explanation:

First of all, use Avogadro's number to convert from molecules to moles.

Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23.

Second of all, to convert from moles to grams, find the substance formula of phosphorus trichloride. After finding the substance formula, then find the molar mass of phosphorus trichloride.

Phosphorus trichloride is PCl3

Now find the molar mass of PCl3

P = 31.0 amu

Cl = 35.5 amu

They are three chlorine atoms and one phosphorus atom. So you do this.

31.0(1) + 35.5(3) = 137.5 g/mol

Now use dimensional analysis to show your work

4.6 x 10^16 grams of PCl3 * 1 mol/ 6.02 x 10^23 * 137.5 g/mol / 1 mol

The grams and the moles cancel out.

So now do [(4.6 x 10^16) / (6.02 x 10^23)] x 137.5

and you will get 0.000010507

4.6 has the fewest digits which is 2.

So use sig figs and the answer rounds to the nearest millionths.

0.000010507 rounds to 0.0000101

So the final answer is 0.0000101 grams(don't forget the units)

Hope it helped!
