Which atom has higher electron affinity F or I, Why?​

Chemistry

Down a group, electron affinity typically decreases. This is because the atomic radius increases down a group.
Fluorine, which is higher up the group then chlorine, has a lower electron affinity. This is because the electrons in the outermost shell of a fluorine atom are closer together.
The electron gained also feels a great amount of repulsion from the electrons originally in the outermost shell. Energy is required to keep the gained electron in the shell, causing fluorine to have a smaller electron affinity than chlorine.
Hope this helps :)

Gold forms face-centered cubic crystals. The atomic radius of a gold atom is 144 pm. Consider the face of a unit cell with the n
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm

Explanation:

Face centered cubic structure contains 4 atoms in each unit cell and 12 coordination number, occupying about 74% volume of the total cell. Face centered cubic structure is known for efficient use of space for atom packing.

To determine the edge length, a relationship between the radius of the atom and edge length is used.

X = R√8

Where;

X is the length of an edge of this unit cell

R is the radius of the gold atom = 144 pm = 144 X 10⁻¹² m

X = 144 X 10⁻¹²√8

X = 407.294 X 10⁻¹² m

X = 407.294 pm

Therefore, the length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm

Give the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in 99Tc
miss Akunina [59]

Explanation:

Tc - 99 is technetium 99.

It is a radioactive element that decays spontaneously. It has a half-life of 211,000 years and decays to stable ruthenium.

  • On the periodic table, it has an atomic number of 43;

Mass number  = 99

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons in atom

  Number of protons in Tc is 43

                      electron is 43

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

  Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons = 99-43 = 56
