Explain why a fluoride ion is smaller than a chloride ion.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
kari74 [83]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Fluorine element has less orbitals than chlorine.

Explanation:

They are both in the same group so they have to gain the same amount of electrons(which will not effect shape)....However on going down the group one notices that the atoms get larger as more orbitals are needed to hold the electrons.

The following system is at equilibrium:
Delvig [45]

Answer:

1) No shift

2) No shift

3) Leftward shift

4)Rightward sifht

Explanation:

1) 2) Adding N or Removing N in the equilibrium will produce No shift, because of its solid state, the N is not contemplated in the equilibrium equation:

K=\frac{[L]^2}{[M]^3}

3) Increasing the volume produces a decrase in the preassure due to the expansion of the gases. This will cause a leftward shift, because the system will try to increase the moles of gas and in consecuence of this, also increase the preassure.

4) Decreasing the volume has the opposite effect of the item 3): the preassure will increase and the system will consume moles of gas to decrease it, producing a rightward shift.

The pKb value for aqueous ammonia at 25
Alex17521 [72]

The value of pka for NH_3 in an aqueous solution is 9.2.

<h3>What is Kb?</h3>

Kb denotes the base dissociation constant.

pKa + pKb =14  at 25 degree celcius.

pKa + 4.8 =14

pKa = 9.2

pKb is the negative base-10 logarithm of the base dissociation constant (Kb) of a solution.

It is used to determine the strength of a base or alkaline solution.

The value of pka for NH_3 in an aqueous solution is 9.2.
