How is the orbital configuration of neutral atoms related to the atoms chemical properties

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical properties of atoms relies solely on the number of electrons they contain, more particularly, the valence or outermost electrons in the orbit round the nucleus of an atom.

A neutral atom is one that has not gained or lost electron or even shared electrons with any other atom.

On close examination of how electrons are distributed in the orbits of an atom, we can know if an atom will gain or lose electrons in a reaction. This is very important in determining the chemical properties of an atom.

Answer:

Mendeleev has tried to organize the chemical elements in the periodic table according to their atomic weights, as they differ if their weight increase.

The elements have been arranged in such a way that their the number of electrons in the outermost shell depicts its properties.

The neutral atoms have their outermost shell filled with electrons. They have noble gas configuration which means they are non reactive and will not take part in any of the reactions.

Example Argon, which has 18 electrons, is a noble gas and has 8 electrons in the outermost shell.

Svetlanka [38]

If the concentration of acetyl chloride  is increased ten times the rate of reaction is increased ten times.

The conversion of acetyl chloride to methyl acetate is a substitution reaction. Recall that a substitution reaction is one in which a moiety in a molecule is replaced by another.

In this reaction, the CH3O- ion replaces the chloride ion. In the first step, the CH3O- ion attacks the substrate in a slow step. This creates a tetrahedral intermediate. Loss of the chloride ion yields the  methyl acetate product.

The rate determining step is the formation of the tetrahedral intermediate. Since the reaction is first order in the acetyl chloride, if its concentration is increased ten times the rate of reaction is increased ten times.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

PS: kindly check the attachment below for the required diagram that is the diagram showing solid sodium chloride looks like at the atomic level.

The chemical compound known as sodium chloride, NaCl has Molar mass: 58.44 g/mol, Melting point: 801 °C and

Boiling point: 1,465 °C. The structure of the solid sodium chloride is FACE CENTRED CUBIC STRUCTURE. Also, solid sodium chloride has a coordination number of 6: 6.

In the diagram below, the positive sign shows the sodium ion while the thick full stop sign represent the chlorine ion.

This is a dumb question but does smelling shapies make you lose brain cells?
nadezda [96]

Yes, Sharpies contain volatile solvents—and when inhaled these solvents can produce a "high." The effects of inhalants (including Sharpies) can be similar to those of alcohol and include slurred speech, lack of coordination, euphoria, and dizziness.
