Select the arrangement that indicate the ions in terms of increasing ionic radii

Chemistry

Answer:

The last option, option D is correct.

The order of increasing ionic radii of the three ions given is

Na⁺ < F⁻ < Cl⁻

Check Explanation for reasons why.

Explanation:

For elements in the same group of the periodic table, the ionic radii increases as we move down the group. This is because the number of shells increase as we move further down a group in the periodic table and that automatically confers a bigger radii to the element with the more shells.

So, between F⁻ and Cl⁻, we know the fluoride ion has electronic configuration 2, 8 (2 shells) after it gains an electron to its normal electronic configuration to form the ion, but the chloride ion has electronic configuration 2, 8, 8 (3 shells) when it achieves its own stable octet of outermost electrons.

So, it is clear how Cl⁻ ion has a bigger ionic radii than F⁻ and even Na⁺.

Then, to know which ion is bigger between Na⁺ and F⁻, it is known that when cations and anions have the same electronic configuration, the cations usually have the lesser ionic radii.

This is because in a normal, neutral atom, the number of electrons in the atom matches the number of protons. And the force of attraction between the protons and the electrons matches each other as they both have the same charges and are equal in number.

But cations result from the neutral element losing one or more electrons to achieve that stable octet. This makes the number of protons to exceed the number of electrons, hence, the electrons available are more tightly pulled towards the centre of the atom by the protons in the nucleus of the atom. This results in a reduced ionic radii.

Unlike anions that gain electrons to achieve that stable octet and have the electrons exceeding the protons in their ions, causing the pull of the protons on the electrons to be reduced, thereby resulting in a more repelled electrons pushing the ionic radii further than normal thereby increasing it.

Hope this Helps!!!

A laboratory analysis of a sample finds it is composed of 38.8% carbon, 16.2% hydrogen, and 45.1% nitrogen. What is its empirica
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is CH_5N

Explanation : Given,

Percentage of C = 38.8 %

Percentage of H = 16.2 %

Percentage of N = 45.1 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 38.8 g

Mass of H = 16.2 g

Mass of N = 45.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{38.8g}{12g/mole}=3.23moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{16.2g}{1g/mole}=16.2moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{45.4g}{14g/mole}=3.24moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 3.23 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{3.23}{3.23}=1

For Hydrogen  = \frac{16.2}{3.23}=5.01\approx 5

For Oxygen  = \frac{3.24}{3.23}=1.00\approx 1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 1 : 5 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_1H_5N_1=CH_5N

What is the difference between a homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture?
Semmy [17]
A homogeneous mixture is made up of multiple different substances. (You can see different parts)
Ex: Cereal in milk or ice in soda

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that is mixed well. ( you can’t see the different parts)
Ex: Rain or air

Please help don’t understand this I attached the question
Rasek [7]

Answer:

58.32

Explanation:

The mass number is one mole and for Mg it is 24.306 for O it is 15.999 and for H it is 1.008. because O and H have 2, you multiply them by 2 and add all the numbers and it equals 58.32

Why is the cell theory so important??
Kamila [148]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

The cell theory states that all biological organisms are composed of cells; cells are the unit of life and all life come from preexisting life. The cell theory is so established today that it forms one of the unifying principles of biology.
