Which element has a crystalline lattice through which electrons flow freely

Chemistry
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Copper

Explanation:

Metals are often arranged in crystalline lattices. The lattice consists of metal ions with an overlying sea of electrons. The conductivity of a metal depends on the nature of this crystal lattice. Naturally, some metals conduct electricity better than others. The unique properties of the crystal lattice of copper allow electrons to flow through it freely especially when it is drawn into a wire.

Which metal in Period 5 is very reactive and has two valence electrons in each atom? rubidium (Rb) strontium (Sr) zirconium (Zr)
vladimir1956 [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

           Strontium (Sr)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        The condition given in statement is the presence of two valence electron. Hence, first we found the electronic configuration of given atoms as follow;

                       Rubidium                         [Kr] 5s¹

                      Strontium                        [Kr] 5s²

                       Zirconium                         [Kr] 4d² 5s²

                      Silver                                 [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s¹

From above configurations it is cleared that only Strontium and Zirconium has two electrons in its valence shell.

We also know that s-block elements are more reactive than transition elements due to less shielding effect in transition elements hence, making it difficult for transition metals to loose electrons as compared to s-block elements. Therefore, we can conclude that Strontium present in s-block with two valence electrons is the correct answer.

Describe how water molecules interact with sodium chloride molecules in order for water to dissolve salt.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Sodium chloride is an ionic salt that completely dissociates in water.

Explanation:

Sodium chloride in water dissociates according to the equation.

NaCl (aq) → Na + (aq) + Cl- (aq)

While water stays in balance according to the equation

2H2O (l) ⇄ H3O+(aq)  +  OH-(aq).

By dissociating the solute in the solvent, the water molecules pick up the sodium cations as well as the chloride anions to break the bonds in the salt crystals and thus produce the dissolution

If the ions are analyzed separately, we see that Na + interacts with water, so it would be producing sodium hydroxide, releasing protons.  

If the reaction goes in the sense of products, the Na + would increase the concentration of [H +], however being a neutral salt the pH does not vary from 7, so the reaction would never go in the sense of products, but only reagents. That's why as the sodium hydroxide is a strong base, it only promotes the formation of water and the cation.

Na+  +  H2O  ←  NaOH  +  H+

The same situation occurs with chloride, since no matter how much you want to form hydrochloric acid, it dissociates by promoting the formation of water plus the corresponding anion. Na + and Cl- act as too weak conjugate acid and base, so the reaction would never go in the direction of products

Cl-  +  H2O  ←  HCl  +  OH-

i have an unknown volume of gas at a pressure of 0.50 atm a temperature of 325 k. If i raise the pressure to 1.2 atm, decrease t
Ronch [10]
Assuming that the number of mols are constant for both conditions:
\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =  \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}
Now you plug in the given values. V_1 is the unknown. 
\frac{0.50 atm*V_1}{325K} = \frac{1.2 atm* 48 L}{230K}&#10;
Separate V_1
V_1= \frac{1.2 atm* 48 L * 325K }{230K*0.50 atm }
V= 162.782608696 L 

There are 2 sig figs

V= 160 L
