An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy.

AleksandrR [38]3 years ago

_____________________________

A chemical reaction in which heat is released is called exothermic reaction.

For example

CaO(s) + H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2 (aq) + Heat

As we know that if energy needed in the bond breaking in the reactants is less than the energy released when new bonds are formed resulting in the products, the chemical reaction is of exothermic in nature.

The symbol of the period five element that is a member of the pnicitides family
Zepler [3.9K]

The symbol of the period five element that is a member of the pnicitides family are antimony.

Explanation:

Pnictogen family

  • In periodic table, column 15 elements are Pnitogen family.
  • The pnictogen elements are Nitrogen-N, arsenic-As, phosphorus-P, bismuth-Bi, antimony-Sb, ununpentium-Uup.    
  • There are five valence electrons each member of pnictogen family. In group 15 double bonds and triple bonds are formed due to these valence electrons.  
  • Pnictides, binary compounds of  group 15.

Antimony  

  • Antimony is the element found in period 5 and block p.
  • A chemical element, Antimony (Sb) from Latin word stibium and 51 is its atomic number. It is in solid state.
  • In ancient times, antimony compounds are used as cosmetic and medicine.
  • Appeared as semi metal.  
  • Electronic configurations of Sb is [Kr] 4d105s25p3.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle tells us that no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We can describe electrons using four sets of quantum numbers;

principal quantum number (n)

orbital quantum number (l)

magnetic quantum number (ml)

spin quantum number (ms)

Since no two electrons in an atom can have the same value for all four quantum numbers according to Pauli exclusion theory, for the orbitals given one possible value for each quantum number is shown below;

For 1s-

n = 1, l= 0, ml = 0, ms= 1/2

For 2s-

n= 2, l =0, ml=0, ms=1/2

For 1s and 2s orbitals, there is only one possible value for ml which is zero.

Half of the first 18 elements have an odd number of electrons, and half have an even number. Show why atoms of these elements ar
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

The atomic orbital and radius increases by gaining electron linearly so even electron numbered atoms are diamagnetic while the odd electron numbered atoms are paramagnetic.

Running through the first 18 elements one can observe that there is an alternative odd number of electrons and an even number proofing that that half of the first 18 elements shows paramagnetism and diamagnetism respectively.
