An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons has no _________.

1 answer:

7 0

The answer would be C. charge because the protons, which are positively charged particles, and the electrons, negatively charged particles, balance each other out and the atom becomes of a neutral charge (or no charge)

On a molar basis, which is a more effective bleaching agent- kbro3 or naocl?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

<span>On a molar a basis, the most effective bleaching agent kbro3 has more oxygen, but due to the bromine, it would make things look yellowish. The bromine would counteracts the bleaching effect. As we all know, bleach is naocl or hypochlorite</span>

Determine which of the following pairs of reactants will result in a spontaneous reaction at 25°C. None of the above pairs will

Alla [95]

Answer:

Only $Fe^{3+}+Mg$ gives spontaneous reaction.

Explanation:

A redox reaction will be spontaneous if standard reduction potential ( $E^{0}$ ) of the reaction is positive. Because it leads to negative standard gibbs free energy change ( $\Delta G^{0}$ ), which is a thermodynamic condition for spontaneity of a reaction.

$E^{0}=E^{0}(reduction)-E^{0}(oxidation)$

Where $E^{0}(reduction)$ and $E^{0}(oxidation)$ represents standard reduction potential of reduction half cell and standard reduction potential of oxidation half cell.

(1) Oxidation: $Mg-2e^{-}\rightarrow Mg^{2+}$ ; $E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=-2.38V$

Reduction: $Fe^{3+}+3e^{-}\rightarrow Fe$ ; $E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}=-0.04V$

So, $E^{0}=E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}-E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=(-0.04+2.38)V=2.34V$

Hence this pair will give spontaneous reaction.

(2) Similarly as above, $E^{0}=E_{Pb^{2+}\mid Pb}^{0}-E_{Au^{+}\mid Au}^{0}=(-0.13-1.69)V=-1.82 V$

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(3) Similarly as above, $E^{0}=E_{Ag^{+}\mid Ag}^{0}-E_{Br_{2}\mid Br^{-}}^{0}=(0.80-1.07)V=-0.27 V$

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(4) Similarly as above, $E^{0}=E_{Li^{+}\mid Li}^{0}-E_{Cr^{3+}\mid Cr}^{0}=(-3.04+0.74)V=-2.30 V$

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

The electron configuration of an element is 1s22s22p4. Describe what most likely happens when two atoms of this element move tow

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;

1s²2s²2p⁴

The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;

The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons

Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell

When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.

How many electrons will metals generally have in their outer shell

Goshia [24]

Answer:

1 - 3

Explanation:

- Look to see where metals are on the periodic table then look at what group they are in. The group tells you the number of valence electrons. Ex. 1A has one valence electron.

- Hope this helped! If you need a further explanation please let me know.
