Increases from left to right across a period

<h2>Answer with Explanation</h2>

The positively charged particles in the nucleus pull the negatively charged electrons. When we move from left to right, the number of protons increases then more protons attract negative charges, so electronegativity increases. This happens due to a greater charge on the nucleus which makes electron bonding pairs to be very attracted to atoms located more right on the periodic table. Fluorine is the most electronegative element which is present in seventh group known as halogen group.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Bohr thought that electrons orbited the nucleus in circular paths; whereas in the modern view atomic electron structure is more like 3D standing waves. Bohr built upon Rutherford's model of the atom. ... He believed that electrons moved around the nucleus in circular orbits with quantised potential and kinetic energies.

Calculate the molar concentration of the Cl⁻ ions in 0.65 M CaCl2(aq), assuming that the dissolved substance dissociates complet

alexandr1967 [171]

The question here is solved using basic chemistry. CaCl2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Cl⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of CaCl2 that dissolves.
CaCl2(s) --> Ca+(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
[Cl⁻] = 0.65 mol CaCl2/1L × 2 mol Cl⁻ / 1 mol CaCl2 = 1.3 M
The answer to this question is [Cl⁻] = 1.3 M

Jenny measures the temperature inside a cave to be 10°C. The temperature outside the cave is about 30°C warmer. How does the kin

ExtremeBDS [4]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>The kinetic energy of the air molecules in the cave is less than the kinetic energy of molecules outside the cave.</u></em>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The kinetic energy of any molecule is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

Temperature of a gas is the heat energy provided to the molecules. As the temperature energy increase the molecules of the gas will move fastly and collide with each other.

So we can know the kinetic energy of molecules in the gas by measuring its temperature.

Hence the temperature of the cave is less than outside, so the kinetic energy will also be low.

Consider the following reaction: COCl2(g) ⇌ CO(g) + Cl2(g) A reaction mixture initially contains 1.6 M COCl2. Determine the equi

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of CO is 0.0361 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kc = 8.33 *10^-4

Molarity of COCl2 = 1.6 M

Step 2: The balanced equation:

COCl2(g) ⇌ CO(g) + Cl2(g)

Step 3: Calculate final concentrations

The initial concentration of COCl2 = 1.6M

The initial concentration of CO and Cl2 = 0M

There will react xM of COCl2

Since the mole ratio is 1:1

The final concentration of CO and Cl2 will be X M

The final concentration of COCl2 will be (1.6 -X)M

Step 4: Define Kc

Kc= [CO] *[Cl2] / [COCl2] = 8.33*10^-4

Kc = X*X / 1.6-X = 8.33 * 10^-4

8.33 * 10^-4 = X² /(1.6-X)

8.33 * 10^-4 *(1.6 -X) = X²

0.0013328 - 8.33*10^-4 X = X²

X² + 8.33*10^-4 X - 0.0013328= 0

X = 0.0361 M = [CO] = [Cl2]

[COCl2] = 1.6 - 0.0361 = 1.5639 M

To control this we can calculate the Kc

(0.0361*0.0361)/1.5639 = 0.000833
