In what order do electrons fill orbitals?

Identify each statement as true or false. Explain in every case.a.Ionization energies are always negative quantities.b.Oxygen ha

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) FALSE

(b) FALSE

(c) TRUE

(d) FALSE

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy needed for removal of a valence electron present in valence shell of a gaseous atom.

(a) The value of ionization energy of an atom is always positive. This is because energy has to be always supplied or provided to a gaseous atom for the removal of the valence electron.

Therefore, the statement (A) is false

(b) The ionization energy of an atom increases across a period i.e. from left to right. This is because the effective nuclear charge that is experienced by the valence electron increases from left to right in the periodic table, as the atomic number increases.

So, more energy is required to remove the valence electron of fluorine as compared to oxygen.

Therefore, the ionization energy of fluorine is greater than oxygen.

Therefore, the statement (B) is false

(c) First ionization energy is energy needed for removal of first electron present in valence shell of a neutral atom. Whereas, second ionization energy is the energy needed for removal of second electron present in valence shell of a monovalent cation

The second ionization energy of an atom is always greater than the first ionization energy. This is because removing an electron from a positively charged species, requires more energy.

Therefore, the statement (C) is true

(d) The third ionization energy refers to the energy needed to remove the third electron from a divalent cation.

Therefore, the statement (D) is false

Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. The balanced chemical equation

Rufina [12.5K]

The mass formed in a chemical reaction is given by stoichiometry law in balanced chemical equation. The mass of silver produced in the reaction is 107. 9 g.

<h3>What is the stoichiometric law?</h3>

The stoichiometric law states that in a balanced chemical equation, the stoichiometric coefficient describes the moles of each compound in a chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

$\rm Cu\;+\;2\;AgNO_3\;\rightarrow\;Cu(NO_3)_2\;+\;2\;Ag$

From the balanced chemical equation, 1 moles of copper results in 2 moles of silver.

Moles in terms of mass can be given as:

$\rm Moles=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar\;mass}$

Thus, moles of 31. 75 grams copper is:

$\rm Cu=\dfrac{ 31. 75 }{63.5}\;mol\\ Cu=0.5 mol$

The moles of Ag produced can be given from stoichiometric law as:

$\rm 1\;mol\;Cu=2\;mol\;Ag\\0.5 \;mol\;Cu=0.5\;\times\;2\;mol\;Ag\\0.5\;mol\;Cu=1\;mol\;Ag$

The moles of Ag produced is 1 mol.

The mass of a mole of element is equivalent to the molar mass. Thus, the mass of Ag produced in the reaction is 107. 9 g. Hence, option B is correct.
