strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
6 0

Your answer is QUOTE:


<em>Nonmetals attain stable noble gas configurations by gaining electrons and forming anions with outer electrons in the existing energy level. Metals attain noble gas configurations by losing electrons and forming cations with a complete octet in the next-lowest energy level</em>

If nitrogen (N) has 2 naturally occurring isotopes, nitrogen-14 (78.3%) and nitrogen-16 (21.7%), what is its average r.a.m.?
leva [86]

Answer:

14.434 r.a.m.

Explanation:

  • The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of its isotopes in which the sum of the abundance of each isotope is equal to 1 or 100%.

∵ The atomic mass of N = ∑(atomic mass of each isotope)(its abundance)

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16)

atomic mass of N-14 = 14.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-14 = percent of N-14/100 = 78.3/100 = 0.783.

atomic mass of N-16 = 16.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-16 = percent of N-16/100 = 21.7/100 = 0.217.

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16) = (14.0 r.a.m)(0.783) + (16.0 r.a.m)(0.217) = 14.434 r.a.m.

A chemical might be used to melt ice if it raises the temperature of the ice. This best type reaction to accomplish this would b
Setler79 [48]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

B) endothermic reaction.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Melting of ice is endothermic because it is taking heat from the environment, feeling cold, because it requires energy to break the ice bonds. It's also why you feel cold when wet it takes energy to evaporate water. The ice absorbs the energy from the environment. Its internal potential energy increases, therefore, it's endothermic. It also increases the entropy of reaction.

Which of the following statements is true?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

C. Lithium is most easily oxidized of the metals listed on the activity series and therefore it will most easily give electrons to metal cations

Explanation:

"Lithium" is a type of alkali metal that has a "single valence electron." Since it is a reactive element, it easily gives up an electron when it is combined with other elements. Such giving up of electron is meant to create compounds or bonds.

Among the common metals listed, "lithium" is the most easily oxidized. This means that it donates its electrons immediately. Such combination makes it exist as a<em> "cation"</em> or <em>"positively-charged."</em>

So, this explains the answer.
