Why is the outermost shell of an atom significant?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Gala2k [10]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of a particular atom determines its reactivity, or tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons

What is the threshold frequency ν0 of cesium?
Montano1993 [528]
 I think this is what you're after:

 Cs(g) → Cs^+ + e⁻ ΔHIP = 375.7 kJ mol^-1 [1] 


Convert to J and divide by the Avogadro Const to give E in J per photon 


E = 375700/6.022×10^23 = 6.239×10^-19 J 


Plank relationship E = h×ν E in J ν = frequency (Hz s-1) 


Planck constant h = 6.626×10^-34 J s 


6.239×10^-19 = (6.626×10^-34)ν 


ν = 9.42×10^14 s^-1 (Hz) 


IP are usually given in ev Cs 3.894 eV 


<span>E = 3.894×1.60×10^-19 = 6.230×10^-19 J per photon </span>

A chemist designs a galvanic cell that uses these two half-reactions:
Virty [35]

Answer:

MnO4⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5Fe³⁺ (aq) →Mn(aq)²⁺ + 4H2O (l) + 5Fe²⁺(aq)

Explanation:

a)

MnO4⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5e⁻ → Mn(aq)²⁺ + 4H2O (l)

b)

5Fe³⁺ (aq) +5e⁻ → 5Fe²⁺(aq)

c)

MnO4⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5Fe³⁺ (aq) →Mn(aq)²⁺ + 4H2O (l) + 5Fe²⁺(aq)

What volume would 3.01•1023 molecules of oxygen gas occupy at STP?
Sliva [168]
First, find moles of oxygen gas: (3.01 x10^23 molec.)/(6.02 x10^23) =0.5mol O2


Second, multiply moles by the standard molar volume of a gas at STP:(0.5mol)(22.4L) = 11.2L O2
