There is more surface area so there’s more to react with all together

Suppose a large atom bonds with a small

Zielflug [23.3K]

A large atom means that the radius would be large, meaning that the effective nuclear charge is low, therefore a lower electronegativity based on the periodic table. A smaller atom would mean the opposite, therefore a higher electronegativity. This combination would mean that the new molecule is polar.

Also, to answer your question, it would be most likely different from both atoms, as size doesn't really matter in a compound's properties.

What mass of aluminum is needed to produce 0.500 mole of aluminum chloride?

3241004551 [841]

Answer: " 13.5 g Al " ;

→ that is: "13.5 grams of aluminum."

____________________________

Explanation:

____________________________

Note: What is missing from the question is the "balanced chemical equation" for the "chemical reaction" that contains:

The reactants: "aluminum (Al) " ; and "chlorine (Cl) " ; and:

The product: "aluminum choloride (AlCl₃) " .

____________________________

The "balanced chemical equation" is:

____________________________

2 Al + 3 Cl₂ → 2 AlCl₃ ;

_____________________________

Note: The molecular weight of "aluminum (Al)" is: " 26.98 g /mol " .

____________________________

So: We call solve using a technique known as: "dimensional analysis" :

____________________________

0.500 mol AlCl₃ * $(\frac{2mol Al}{2mol AlCl_{3} }) * (\frac{26.98g Al}{1 mol Al}) = ?$

____________________________

Note: The units of "mol AlCl₃" cancel out to "1' ; and:

The units of "mol Al" cancel out to "1" ; and we are left with:

____________________________

" $\frac{(0.500 * 2 * 26.98)}{2}$ g Al ["grams of aluminum"] ;

____________________________

Note: We can "cancel out the "2's" ; since "2/2 = 1 " ; and we have:

→ (0.500 * 26.98) g Al ;

= 13.49 g Al ;

→ Round to 3 (Three) significant figures;

→ Since: "0.500" has 3 (Three) significant figures:

____________________________

= 13.5 g Al ; that is: "13.5 grams of aluminum."

An atom X has 2 electrons in its outer orbit. What will it do to form a stable ion?

matrenka [14]

Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³
