Why are lanthanum and actinium at the bottom of the periodic table?

1 answer:

8 0

The periodic table is organized in a way in which trends with certain things such as ionization energy or atomic radius would "work out". It also have increasing atomic mass.

It's also organized to tell you the electron and proton of each element, least to greatest. (the atomic number) Example: Chlorine has 17 protons and 17 e-
(Left to right)
(Top to bottom)

Lanthanum and actinium play the role of being in the bottom because of their large atomic radius and having many protons/electrons.
They're also in the F block for electron configuration.

A heat engine takes in 840 kJ per cycle from a heat reservoir. Which is not a possible value of the engine's heat output per cyc

zhannawk [14.2K]

We have by the first law of thermodynamics tha energy is preserved, hence we cannot have over 840kJ per cycle. We have by the laws of thermodynamics (the 2nd one in specific) that the entropy of a system cannot increase. We cannot have an output of 840 kJ per cycle from a heat engine because then that would mean that the entropy would stay the same, while any heat engine increases it. Hence, any value $\geq 840 kJ$ is acceptable.
