A low electronegativity

Explanation:

Potassium is a metal that is expected to have a very low electronegativity value.

Electronegativity is the relative tendency by which an atom attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Potassium is an element in the first group on the periodic table.

The common trend is that electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down a group.

  • Potassium as metal will prefer to lose electrons rather than attracting because that will make it achieve the octet configuration that will ensure its stability.
  • This is why it will have low electronegativity.

Determine the volume of occupied by 4 moles of carbon dioxide gas at
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Vol of 4 moles CO₂(g) at STP = 89.6 Liters

Explanation:

STP

P = 1 Atm

V =

T = 0°C = 273 K

n = 4 moles

R = 0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K

Using Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT => V = nRT/P

V = (4 moles)(0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K)(273 K)/(1 Atm) = 89.6 Liters

The barium isotope 133ba has a half-life of 10.5 years. a sample begins with 1.1×1010 133ba atoms. how many are left after (a) 5
Sladkaya [172]
<span>a) 7.9x10^9 b) 1.5x10^9 c) 3.9x10^4 To determine what percentage of an isotope remains after a given length of time, you can use the formula p = 2^(-x) where p = percentage remaining x = number of half lives expired. The number of half lives expired is simply x = t/h where x = number of half lives expired t = time spent h = length of half life. So the overall formula becomes p = 2^(-t/h) And since we're starting with 1.1x10^10 atoms, we can simply multiply that by the percentage. So, the answers rounding to 2 significant figures are: a) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-5/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.718873349 = 7.9x10^9 b) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-30/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.138011189 = 1.5x10^9 c) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-190/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 3.57101x10^-6 = 3.9x10^4</span>
