Answer: The element having greatest electronegativity is Fluorine.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an element to attract electrons towards itself. More strongly an element attracts electrons, more will be its electronegativity and vice-versa.

Electronegativity of Group 18 elements is usually 0 except Xenon which has an electronegativity value of 2.6. These elements have filled valence shell and hence they do not attract electrons towards itself and hence, has no electronegativity.

In a periodic table, electronegativity decreases down the group and increases from left to right in a period.

Fluorine is present at Period 2, Group 17 of the periodic table.

Francium is present at Period 7, Group 1 of the periodic table.

Hence, fluorine will have the greatest value of electronegativity among the given elements.

F.
it's the greatest electron "hogger"
as you get closet to it, the stronger the electro negitivity.
He is halogen : they don't like to gain electrons. they are already stable.

Fr and Rn
are metals as far is I can remember. they would prefer losing electrons.

What is the main difference between an isotope and an ion?
bezimeni [28]
I believe the answer is D. An ion always has a positive or a negative charge. An Ion is an atom with net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. An isotope is each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their neutron, thus they differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties.

What is the equilibrium associated with ka3 for h3po4?
Vlad [161]
Phosphoric acid has 3 pKa values (pKa1=2.1,  pKa2=6.9, pKa3= 12.4) and after 3 ionization it gives 3 types of ions at different pKa values: 

H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻ (aq)         pKₐ₁ 
<span>

</span>H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻ (aq)       pKₐ₂


HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq)          pKₐ₃ 

The last equilibrium is associated with the highest pKa value (12.4) of phosphoric acid. There the last OH group will lose its hydrogen and hydrogen phosphate ion (HPO₄²⁻) turns into phosphate ion (PO₄³⁻).

Specify which atoms, if any, bear a formal charge in the Lewis structure given and the net charge for the species.
ozzi

Answer :

Formal charge on C:  (-1)

Formal charge on N:  (0)

Net charge: (-1)

Explanation :

First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of CN^-.

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CN^-

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CN^- = 4 + 5 + 1= 10

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on C}=4-2-\frac{6}{2}=-1

\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0

Net charge = -1 + 0 = -1

A 0.595 g sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to the reaction M ( s ) + H 2 SO 4 ( aq ) ⟶ MSO 4
zalisa [80]

Answer:

molar mass M(s) = 65.326 g/mol

Explanation:

  • M(s) + H2SO4(aq) → MSO4(aq) + H2(g)

∴ VH2(g) = 231 mL = 0.231 L

∴ P atm = 1.0079 bar

∴ PvH2O(25°C) = 0.03167 bar

Graham´s law:

⇒ PH2(g) = P atm - PvH2O(25°C)

⇒ PH2(g) = 1.0079 bar - 0.03167 bar = 0.97623 bar = 0.9635 atm

∴ nH2(g) = PV/RT

⇒ nH2(g) = ((0.9635 atm)(0.231 L))/((0.082 atmL/Kmol)(298 K))

⇒ nH2(g) = 9.1082 E-3 mol

⇒ n M(s) = ( 9.1082 E-3 mol H2(g) )(mol M(s)/mol H2(g))

⇒ n M(s) = 9.1082 E-3 mol

∴ molar mass M(s) [=] g/mol

⇒ molar mass M(s) =   (0.595 g) / (9.1082 E-3 mol)

⇒ molar mass M(s) = 65.326 g/mol
