Answer:

Compare the reactivities of lithium (Li) and Krypton (Kr)

Explanation:

Lithium has an <em>atomic number </em>of <em>3</em> while krypton has an <em>atomic number</em> of <em>36</em>. Note that <em>atomic number</em> is the <em>number of protons </em>present in an atom. It can be deduced from the above that krypton has more protons than lithium however krypton is found in the group zero of the periodic table and thus a noble gas. One of the properties of noble gases/group zero elements is that they have low reactivity because of there octet configuration/completely filled outermost shell.

However, lithium on the other hand is a member of group 1 (called alkali metals) in the periodic table. Group 1 elements are highly reactive (there members are some of the most reactive metals) because they have just one electron in there outermost shell which can be easily donated to achieve duplet/octet configuration.

Hence, Lithium (Li) with 3 protons is more reactive than krypton (Kr) with 36 protons hence disputing the student's idea.

When the electron from the n=4 excited state drops to the ground state, does it absorb energy or emit energy?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

It emits energy since to move from a higher energy level to a lower energy level or ground state, it must lose energy.

How many moles of hydrogen are in 5.2 moles of C7H18
maksim [4K]
In one mole of C7H18 there are 18 moles of H (the number folowing the H)*
>> the ratio is 1:18

In 5.2 moles of C7H18 there are x moles of H
>> the ratio is 5.2:x

Cross multiply the two ratios
1x = 18×5.2
x = 93.6 moles of H

>> In 5.2 moles of C7H18 there are 93.6 moles of H




* This isnt a rule that you can always use.
However to find the mole of a certain element in a certain molucle all you have to do is count how many moles of the element are present in the molecule.
>> example1 >> H2O ;
2 H and 1 O

>> example2 >> CH3COOH ; [you add up all the moles of the same element]
(1+1) 2 C , (3+1) 4 H and (1+1) 2 O

>> example3 >> Mg(OH)2 ; [you multiply whetever is in parenthesis by the number after it 2] 1 Mg , (1×2) 2 O and (1×2) 2 H
