How many grams of Cl2 are in 1.20 x 1024 Cl atoms?
Vaselesa [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

70.906 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Atoms of Chlorine = 1.2 × 10^24 atoms

We are required to calculate the mass of Chlorine

  • We know that 1 mole of an element contains atoms equivalent to the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10^23.
  • That is , 1 mole of an element = 6.022 × 10^23 atoms
  • Therefore; 1 mole of Chlorine = 6.022 × 10^23 atoms

But since Chlorine gas is a molecule;

  • 1 mole of Chlorine gas = 2 × 6.022 × 10^23 atoms

But, molar mass of Chlorine gas = 70.906 g/mol

Then;

70.906 g Of chlorine gas = 2 × 6.022 × 10^23 atoms

                                          = 1.20 × 10^24 atoms

Thus;

For 1.2 × 10^24 atoms ;

= ( 70.906 g/mol × 1.2 × 10^24 atoms ) ÷ (1.20 × 10^24 atoms)

<h3>=  70.906 g </h3>

Therefore, 1.20 × 10^24 atoms of chlorine contains a mass of 70.906 g

Which property determine am atoms ability to attract electrons shared in a chemical bond?
brilliants [131]
Hello there!

Electronegativity is what determine's an atoms ability to attract electrons shared in a chemical bond.Ionization, atomic radius, and also <span> ionic radius both would not determine this as they wouldn't have any similar bond that would attract.
</span><span>
Your correct answer would be (option c)

</span><span>A. ionization 

B. atomic radius

C. electronegativity

D. ionic radius

I hope this helps you!</span>

Explain why calcium (Ca) has a greater atomic radius than magnesium (Mg).
g100num [7]

Answer:

Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)
