Why doesn't the outer electron on the potassium atom experience the full charge of the protons in the nucleus (+19)?

Chemistry

soldi70 [24.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

There are 18 electrons shielding it from the nucleus

Explanation:

The shielding effect is the reduction in the effective nuclear charge on an electron, due to repulsion by the inner electrons in the atom.

Potassium has 19 electrons, 18 of which are in the inner shells of the atom. These 18 electrons "shield" the outermost electron from feeling the effect of the nuclear charge. The magnitude of effective nuclear charge felt by an electron as a result of screening by other inner electrons is given by Slater's rules.

How much heat is released when 10.0 grams of a substance cools 15 degrees? The specific
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Q = 525 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 10 grams

The change in temperature, \Delta T=15^{\circ} C

The specific heat of the substance is 3.5 J/g °C

We need to find the amount of heat released in the process. It can be given by the formula as follow :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=10\ g\times 3.5\ J/g^{\circ} C\times 15^{\circ} C\\Q=525\ J

Hence, 525 J of heat is released.

What is the mass of 8.2 * 10^11 molecules of this compound
Goryan [66]

Answer:

It depends what the compound is.

Explanation:

You need to use Avogadro's number (6.22*10^23) to convert the number of molecules of a compound to moles of the compound. From there, you can use the molar mass of the compound (grams per mole) to get the mass. You can get the molar mass by googling "molar mass of [compound]" or calculate it yourself using the periodic table.

So: 8.2*10^11 molecules of the compound * (1 mole of the compound/6.022*10^23 molecules of the compound) * (# of grams/1 mole of the compound)

HELP I WILL MARK YOU AS THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER
borishaifa [10]

Hey there! Here is the answer:

B.) decrease; increase

Here's why:

As you move from left to right across a period on the periodic table the size of an atom will decrease. As you move from top to bottom down a group on the periodic table the size of an atom will increase.

I really hope this answer helps you out! :)

Which statement regarding water is true? Energy must be given off in order to break down the crystal lattice of ice to a liquid.
Vlada [557]

Answer:  All of the statements (A-D) are false

Explanation: All of the given statements are wrong as Hydrogen bonds are weaker than the ionic and the covalent bonds.

Liquid water is more dense than the solid water.

When heat or temperature is provided to the system of the ice, not only covalent bonds are broken but also hydrogen bonds also get broke.

Energy must not be given off in order to break down the crytsal lattice of ice to a liquid. Infact in changing the phase of the water, energy is released.
