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 :)
Answer:
Explanation:
On the reactant side, XeO3 is a strong oxidizing agent. It can be a solid or gas. Most likely it is in a solid state.
H+ and Br- combine to form HBr which is a weak acid. So H+ and Br- are in an aqueous state.
On the product side, both Br2 and Xe are not very soluble in water. They will be in gaseous state and H2O is water i.e. liquid state.
1st you need to find the mole ratio between KClO3 and O2. To find that you need to take the coefficents of each of the compounds. That gives a ratio of 2:3.
Now we find out how many each unit is:
2x = 12
x = 6
Now we multiply it by 3 to find the number of moles of O2
3(6) = 18 mol O2.
Answer:Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.
