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

Chemistry

timama [110]3 years ago

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.

What volume of 12M HCI is needed to prepare 250<br> of 0.20M HCI?
Alchen [17]

Answer: 4.2

Explanation:

M_{A}V_{A}=M_{B}V_{B}\\(12)V_{A}=(250)(0.20)\\V_{A}=\frac{(250)(0.20)}{12}=\boxed{4.2}

What is the overall energy transformation in a coal-fired power plant?.
polet [3.4K]

Answer: When coal is burned, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy, light energy, and sound energy. Only the thermal energy is used for electricity production. Light and sound energy dissipate into the environment, immediately reducing efficiency.

Hope this helps.

The molar solubility of magnesium carbonate is 1.8 × 10–4 mol/l. What is ksp for this compound?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

3.2 × 10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Let's consider the solution of magnesium carbonate.

MgCO₃ ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

We can relate the molar solubility (S) with the solubility product (Ksp) using an ICE chart.

         MgCO₃ ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

I                             0                0

C                          +S              +S

E                            S                S

The Ksp is:

Ksp = [Mg²⁺] × [CO₃²⁻] = S × S = S² = (1.8 × 10⁻⁴)² = 3.2 × 10⁻⁸

escribe los valores de los cuatro numeros cuanticos para los electrones de los elementos:berilio y nitrogeno ayuda pls
valkas [14]
<span>Hay cuatro números cuánticos: n, ℓ, m, y s. Cada uno es un factor particular en una ecuación que describe una propiedad del electrón. En este nivel introductorio, las ecuaciones no son necesarias. El valor de cada número cuántico se asigna a cada electrón en un átomo mediante un proceso de "construcción". Niels Bohr llamó a este proceso el principio de "Aufbau": aufbau significa "construir". N es SIEMPRE el punto de partida para construir una serie de números cuánticos. Cada número cuántico se asigna entonces de acuerdo a un conjunto de reglas, cada una de las cuales tomó años de estudio para finalmente determinar. Las reglas NO son sólo las viejas arbitrarias; Se han determinado a partir de un estudio de la naturaleza. Recuerde las reglas: (1) n = 1, 2, 3, y así sucesivamente. (2) ℓ = 0, 1, 2,. . . , N - 1 (3) m empieza en negativo ℓ, pasa por números enteros a cero y luego pasa a ℓ positivo. (4) después de haber determinado los n, ℓ y m, asignar el valor +1/2 a un electrón, luego asignar -1/2 al siguiente electrón, utilizando los mismos valores n, ℓ ym. Además, tenga en cuenta que usamos sólo un valor n, ℓ, m, y s para hacer un conjunto de cuatro números cuánticos para cada electrón. Es el conjunto que identifica de forma única cada electrón. Último punto: la última columna de cada tabla se denomina "Nombre Orbital". Al leer este tutorial, es posible que aún no sepa lo que es un orbital. Eso está bien, pero por favor entienda el concepto llamado "orbital" es importante. Aquí está una descripción simple real que ignora muchos detalles: cada orbital es una región del espacio alrededor del núcleo que contiene un MÁXIMO de dos electrones. Darse cuenta de que es más complejo que eso, pero la descripción anterior es lo suficientemente bueno por ahora. </span>
