When paper turns yellow-brown upon exposure to sunlight, what type of change is likely taking place?

Phosphorus has three electrons in its 3p sublevel and sulfur has four. Phosphorus should have the lower ionization energy but it

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

First of all it is important to know that a half filled orbital is particularly stable. In phosphorus all the electrons occur singly in the 3p sublevel minimizing inter electronic repulsion hence it is more difficult to remove an electron from this energetically stable arrangement. In sulphur, electrons are paired in one of the 3p orbitals thereby lowering the energy of that level due to instability caused by interelectronic repulsion between two electrons in the same orbital.

Given 1kg=2.20 lbs, how many kilograms are in 125 lbs? (Metric conversion)

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

56.82 Kg

Explanation:

Given data:

1 Kg = 2.20 lbs

Number of kilogram in 125 lbs = ?

Solution:

lbs is used for pound. lb is abbreviation of libra. It is Latin word meaning balance.

Both kilogram and pounds are units of mass. Pound is smaller unit than kilogram.

one Kg = 2.20 lbs

Number of kg in 125 lbs:

125 lbs × 1 Kg/2.20 lbs

125 lbs.Kg/2.20 lbs

56.82 Kg

For each of the following compounds, state whether it is ionic or covalent, and if it is ionic, write the symbols for the ions i

kupik [55]

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A: $KClO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, $K^+$ which is a metal and $ClO_4^-$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B: $Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, $Mg^{2+}$ which is a metal and $C_2H_3O_2^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C: $H_2S$

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D: $Ag_2S$

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, $Ag^{+}$ which is a metal and sulfur, $S^{2-}$ which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E: $N_2Cl_4$

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F: $Co(NO_3)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, $Co^{2+}$ which is a metal and $NO_3^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

How many milligrams of sodium fluoride are needed to prepare 100 ml of a sodium fluoride stock solution such that a solution con

Anastaziya [24]

The unit ppm (parts per million) should be numerically equal to the unit of mg/L (milligram per liter). First, we determine the volume of the stock solution in L.

V = (100 mL)(1 L/1000 mL)
V = 0.1 L

Then, the equation that would allow us to determine the value of mass is,

C = m/V

where C is concentration, m is mass, and V is the volume.

Substituting the known values,
2 = m/ 0.1

The value of m from the equation is 0.2.

Answer: 0.2 mg
