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.

if kept at a constant temperature, what is the concentration at 865s if the initial concentration was 0.0225M

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$[SO_2Cl_2]=0.0175M$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering that the decomposition reaction of SO2Cl2 is first-order, we can write the rate law shown below:

$r=-k[SO_2Cl_2]$

We also consider that the integrated rate law has been already reported as:

$[SO_2Cl_2]=[SO_2Cl_2]_0exp(-kt)$

Thus, by plugging in the initial concentration, rate constant and elapsed time we obtain:

$[SO_2Cl_2]=0.0225Mexp(-2.90x10^{-4}s^{-1}*865s)$

$[SO_2Cl_2]=0.0175M$

Best regards!

Acquired, because everyone has to learn how to speak English you can’t just be born and know how to speak.

CO is a primary pollutant.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

True

Carbon monoxide is a primary pollutant which no odor results from incomplete combustion of fuel. The man sources are gasoline and burning of biomass.

Depending on the source of emission, pollutants can be classified into two groups that is primary and secondary pollutants.

A primary pollutant is emitted in the atmosphere directly from a source. It can be either natural sch as volcanic eruptions, sandstorms or man-made that is due to industrial and vehicle emissions. Examples of primary pollutants are nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

Secondary pollutant is due to interactions between primary and secondary pollutants. These can be chemical or physical interactions. Examples are photo-chemical oxidants and secondary particulate matter.

Therefore, carbon monoxide CO is a primary pollutant.
