Characterize the size of an atom.

Chemistry
1 answer:

6 0

Atoms are the smallest known substance to man, the building blocks of everything, the atoms size usually depends on the electrons, the electrons are what really takes up space.

And my source ( Google ) says :

Because electrons are what take up space in atoms, the result is that the size of the biggest filled orbital determines the size of the atom or ion. Sizes of orbitals depend on the quantum numbers (n = 1, n = 3, etc.) and also on the effective nuclear charge.

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!!

What are the first two quantum numbers for the electrons located in subshell 4d?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

n = 4, l = 2

Explanation:

The number 4 in 4d is the principal quantum number (n).

The letter d in 4d tells us that we have a d orbital, as determined by the <em>secondary quantum number (l</em>).

The quantum number l tells us the shape of the orbital.

l = 0     s orbital

l = 1      p orbital

l = 2     d orbital

1. How many moles of CO2 can be produced from a reaction of 10.0 moles CzHg?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

20 moles of CO2 can be produced from a reaction of 10.0 moles C2H6

Explanation:

In this reaction -

2 moles of C₂H6 produces four molecules of Carbon dioxide (CO2)

So 1 mole of C₂H6 will produce \frac{4}{2} = 2 moles of Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Thus, 10 moles of C₂H6 will produce 2 * 10 = 20 moles of Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Write an equation that expresses the law of thermodynamics in terms of heat and work
Anettt [7]

We write DE = q+w, where DE is the internal energy change and q and w are heat and work, respectively.

(b)Under what conditions will the quantities q and w be negative numbers?

q is negative when heat flows from the system to the surroundings, and w is negative when the system does work on the surroundings.

As an aside: In applying the first law, do we need to measure the internal energy of a system? Explain.

The absolute internal energy of a system cannot be measured, at least in any practical sense. The internal energy encompasses the kinetic energy of all moving particles in the system, including subatomic particles, as well as the electrostatic potential energies between all these particles. We can measure the change in internal energy (DE) as the result of a chemical or physical change, but we cannot determine the absolute internal energy of either the initial or the final state. The first law allows us to calculate the change in internal energy during a transformation by calculating the heat and work exchanged between the system and its surroundings.
