Why gold is called inert metal

astraxan [27]

Gold has a heavy enough nucleus that its electrons must travel at speeds nearing the speed of light to prevent them from falling into the nucleus. This relativistic effect applies to those orbitals that have appreciable density at the nucleus, such as s and p orbitals. These relativistic electrons gain mass and as a consequence, their orbits contract. As these s and (to some degree) p orbits are contracted, the other electrons in d and f orbitals are better screened from the nucleus and their orbitals actually expand.

Since the 6s orbital with one electron is contracted, this electron is more tightly bound to the nucleus and less available for bonding with other atoms. The 4f and 5d orbitals expand, but can't be involved in bond formation since they are completely filled. This is why gold is relatively unreactive.

Hope it helps

What makes atoms different than<br> ions?

DENIUS [597]

Answer:the term 'atom' in chemistry represents the basic unit of matter that normally exists in a free state and contains all chemical properties. It is an infinite particle that clearly identifies a chemical element. It consists of a positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.

An ion or charge is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons. An ion that has a negative charge, when it gains one or more electrons, is called an anion or negative charge, and an ion that has a positive charge when it loses one or more electrons, is called a cation or positive charge.

The hybridization for the B in Bcl3 is ?

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

sp²

Explanation:

You need to look at how many electron orbitals around the atom. Looking at the structure below, you can see that there are three electron orbitals. This gives you an sp² hybridization.

What are you suppose to do for number 8?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

See the images below

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw a dot diagram of an atom, you locate the element in the Periodic Table and figure out how many valence electrons it has. Then you distribute the electrons as dots around the atom,

a. Silicon.

Si is in Group 14, so it has four valence electrons.

b. Xenon

Xenon is in Group 18, so it has eight valence electrons. We group them as four pairs around the xenon atom.

c. Calcium

Calcium is in Group 2, so it has two valence electrons. They are in a single subshell, so we write them as a pair on the calcium atom.

d. Water

Oxygen is in Group 16, so it has six valence electrons. The hydrogen atoms each contribute one electron, so there are eight valence electrons.

Chemists often use a dash to represent a pair of electrons in a bond.

The most useful ore of aluminum is bauxite, in which Al is present as hydrated oxides, Al2O3 * xH2O.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

44.7 kWh

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of Al₂O₃ to Al in the Bayer process.

6 e⁻ + 3 H₂O + Al₂O₃ → 2 Al + 6 OH⁻

We can establish the following relations:

The molar mass of Al is 26.98 g/mol.
2 moles of Al are produced when 6 moles of e⁻ circulate.
1 mol of e⁻ has a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant).
1 V = 1 J/c
1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J

When the applied electromotive force is 5.00 V, the energy required to produce 3.00 kg (3.00 × 10³ g) of aluminum is:

$3.00 \times 10^{3} gAl.\frac{1molAl}{26.98gAl} .\frac{6mole^{-}}{2molAl}.\frac{96468c}{1mole^{-}}.\frac{5.00J}{c}.\frac{1kWh}{3.6 \times 10^{6}J} =44.7kWh$
