For elements in the third row of the periodic table and beyond, the octet rule is often not obeyed. a friend of yours says this

is because these heavier elements are more likely to make double or triple bonds. another friend of yours says that this is because the heavier elements are larger and can make bonds to more than four atoms at a time. part a which friend is most correct?

The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.  

The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.

If the mass of a cube with a length of 9.0 cm3 is 12.2 g what is its density
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The density is 1,35 g/cm3

Explanation:

We use the formula for calculate the density

δ =m/V =12,2g / 9,0 cm3=  1,35 g/cm3

Describe the movement of electrons when the atom colors by applying ground state and excitement state?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations.The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

The digit that would have to be estimated in reading this instrument would be the nearest:
wariber [46]

Answer:

The least count of vernier calipers is 0.01 g.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

The digit that would have to be estimated in reading this instrument,

According to figure,

We need to calculate the pitch

Using formula of pitch

pitch=\dfrac{distance\ moved}{Number\ of\ complete\ rotation}

Put the value into the formula

pitch=\dfrac{1}{10}

pitch=0.1\ g

We need to calculate the least count of vernier calipers

Using formula of least count

Least\ count=\dfrac{pitch}{number\ of\ vernier\ scale\ division}

Put the value into the formula

Least\ count=\dfrac{0.1}{10}

Least count = 0.01\ g

Hence, The least count of vernier calipers is 0.01 g.

(B) is correct option.
