Down a group, electron affinity typically decreases. This is because the atomic radius increases down a group.
Fluorine, which is higher up the group then chlorine, has a lower electron affinity. This is because the electrons in the outermost shell of a fluorine atom are closer together.
The electron gained also feels a great amount of repulsion from the electrons originally in the outermost shell. Energy is required to keep the gained electron in the shell, causing fluorine to have a smaller electron affinity than chlorine.
Hope this helps :)
I would say its a solid compound
To allow for equations and problems in chemistry to be as precise as possible. When experiments are conducted, and even if the number is the slightest bit off, the problem or experiment could be impacted very negatively. It allows for complete accuracy to ensure nothing goes wrong, since chemistry is very touchy and risky when dealing with extremely unsafe elements.
The correct answer is 0.014467 M.
Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in a liter solution, that is, number of moles / liter solution.
The molar mass of sodium (Na) is 23.0 g/mol
Thus, 1 mole of Na contains 23.0 g
Now, x moles of Na contains 0.50 g
Moles = 0.50 × 1 / 23.0
Moles = 0.50 / 23.0
= 0.0217 moles of Na
Molarity = Number of moles / liters of solution
= 0.0217 / 1.5
= 0.014467 M
