4 0

<u>Answer:</u> Pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

  • <u>For a:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For b:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

  • <u>For c:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For d:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For e:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For f:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Explain what happens in a nuclear chain reaction
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Nuclear Chain Reactions. A chain reaction refers to a process in which neutrons released in fission produce an additional fission in at least one further nucleus. This nucleus in turn produces neutrons, and the process repeats. The process may be controlled (nuclear power) or uncontrolled (nuclear weapons).

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Objects or particles under motion posses energy in the form of kinetic energy which is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of the given particle.

E= 1/2mv² where m is the mass of the particle and v the velocity of the particle.

Use the portion of the periodic table shown below to answer the questions.
Basile [38]
Part 1: Potassium, and Rubidium.
Part 2: Calcium has 20 protons and 20 electrons because the atomic number for calcium is 20 and that determines how many protons there are and in an atom, the number of protons is the same number of electrons. Calcium has about 20 neutrons. I got the number of Neutrons by subtracting the mass number(40.078) and the atomic number(20), I got 20.078. Round to the nearest whole number because you cannot have half or partial neutron. So, Calcium has 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 20 neutrons,

Hope this helps and please mark as brainliest!

Answer these please ASAP need help no idea how to do these
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol = mass / 64 g/mol

Mass = 128 g

Mg:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

0.5 mol = mass / 24 g/mol

Mass =  g

Cl₂:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 35.5 g / 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 852 mol

H₂:

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

8 mol  = Mass / 2 g/mol

Mass =  16 g

P₄:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol  =  mass / 124 g/mol

Mass = 248 g

O₃:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 1.6 g /48  g/mol

Number of moles = 0.033 mol

H₂O

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 54 g / 18 g/mol

Number of moles = 3 mol

CO₂

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol  =  mass / 124 g/mol

Mass = 248 g

NH₃

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 8.5 g / 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

CaCO₃

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 100 g / 100 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mol

a)

Given data:

Mass of iron(III)oxide needed = ?

Mass of iron produced = 100 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

F₂O₃ + 3CO    →    2Fe  + 3CO₂

Number of moles of iron:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 100 g/ 56 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.78 mol

Now we compare the moles of iron with iron oxide.

                        Fe          :           F₂O₃                

                           2          :             1

                          1.78       :        1/2×1.78 = 0.89 mol

Mass of  F₂O₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.89 mol × 159.69 g/mol

Mass = 142.124 g

100 g of iron is 1.78 moles of Fe, so 0.89 moles of F₂O₃ are needed, or 142.124 g of iron(III) oxide.

b)

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 0.05 mol

Mass of iodine = 26 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3I₂   →  2AlI₃

Number of moles of iodine = 26 g/ 254 g/mol

Number of moles of iodine = 0.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Al and I₂ with AlI₃.

                          Al            :         AlI₃    

                          2             :           2

                         0.05         :        0.05

                           I₂            :         AlI₃

                           3            :          2

                         0.1           :           2/3×0.1 = 0.067

Number of moles of AlI₃ produced by Al are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of AlI₃:                            

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.05 mol × 408 g/mol

Mass = 20.4 g

26 g of iodine is 0.1 moles. From the equation, this will react with 2 moles of Al. So the limiting reactant is Al.

c)

Given data:

Mass of lead = 6.21 g

Mass of lead oxide = 6.85 g

Equation of reaction = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Pb + O₂   → 2PbO

Number of moles of lead = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 6.21 g/ 207 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Number of moles of lead oxide = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 6.85 g/ 223 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.031 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with lead and lead oxide.

               Pb         :        O₂

                2          :         1

               0.03     :      1/2×0.03 = 0.015 mol

Mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.015 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass =  0.48 g

The mass of oxygen that took part in equation was 0.48 g. which is 0.015 moles of oxygen. The number of moles of Pb in 6.21 g of lead is 0.03 moles. So the balance equation is

2Pb + O₂   → 2PbO
