What are the period and group trends in electronegativities

1 answer:

8 0

Electronegativity of an element decreases as we move down a group on the periodic table and electronegativity increases while moving from left to right across a period on the periodic table.

Explanation:

The electronegativity increases as we move from left to right across a period because from left to right across a period, the nuclear charge is increasing Hence the attraction for the valence electrons also increases.
As we move down a group, the atoms of each element have an increasing number of energy levels. The distance between the nucleus and valence electron shell increases and reduces the attraction for valence electrons. Hence electronegativity decreases as we move from top to bottom down a group.

Consider this question: What is the molarity of HCL if 35.23 mL of a solution of HCL contains 0.3366 g of HCL?

Crazy boy [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The molarity of HCl solution is 0.262 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Given mass of HCl = 0.3366 g

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mol

Volume of the solution = 35.23 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of HCl}=\frac{0.3366g\times 1000}{36.5g/mol\times 35.23mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of HCl}=0.262M$

Hence, the molarity of HCl solution is 0.262 M.

A plant fertilizer contains 15% by mass nitrogen (N). In a container of soluble plant food, there are 12.2 oz of fertilizer. How

ale4655 [162]

51.86 grams would be in the container.

One ounce is an equivalent of 28.34 grams, so times that by 12.2
.
12.2 * 28.34 = 345.75.

Put the percentage into decimal form, so 15% would now be 0.15.

0.15 * 345.75 = 51.86.

Answer:

1.Ecologists often estimate the size and density of. populations using quadrats and the mark-recapture method.

2. The two key components of ecosystem stability are resilience and resistance.

3.The availability of abiotic factors (such as water, oxygen, and space) and biotic factors (such as food) affect population

4. When the climate is changing in the colder direction it effects the planet in the opposite way than it does when it is changing in the warmer direction. Ad nauseam the contemporary, it’ll keep getting hotter and at a greater rate so the ecosystem is going to die.
