Elements within the same group of the periodic table behave similarly because they have the same number of ?

4 0

The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)

Rain soaks into the soil or runs off into oceans, rivers, and lakes. ___________ which process is this

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The water falls to the earth as precipitation, such as rain, hail, sleet, and snow. When precipitation reaches the earth's surface, some of it will flow along the surface of the land and enter surface water like lakes, streams, and rivers, as runoff. The rest of it soaks or percolates into the soil, called

You are instructed to create 900. mL of a 0.29 M phosphate buffer with a pH of 7.8. You have phosphoric acid and the sodium salt

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

When we have to do a buffer solution we always have to choose the reaction that has the pKa closer to the desired pH value. When we find the pKa values we will obtain:

$pKa_1=-Log[6.9x10^-^3]=2.16$

$pKa_2=-Log[6.2x10^-^8]=7.20$

$pKa_3=-Log[4.8x10^-^13]=12.31$

The closer value is pKa2 with a value of 7.2. Therefore we have to use the second reaction. In which $H_2PO_4^-^1$ is the acid and $HPO_4^-^2$ is the base. Therefore the answer for the first question is B and the answer for the second question is C.
