What are the period and group trends in electronegativities

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leviafan [203]3 years ago
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 you add enzyme to a solution containing only the product(s) of a reaction, would you expect any substrate to form?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

e

Explanation:

<em>Provided the reaction that leads to the formation of the products can proceed in both forward and backward directions, the correct answer would be yes because the reaction will proceed backward until equilibrium is reached.</em>

<u>For a reaction that can proceed both forward and backward, the addition of a catalyst increases the rate of reaction in both directions based on the fact that a catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium of a reaction. </u>

Hence, if an enzyme is added to the product of a reaction that has the potential to proceed in both forward and reverse reactions, a substrate would be expected to form because the reaction will proceed backward until an equilibrium is reached.

The correct option is e.

How many liters is 1.9 mol of Cl2 at STP?
Lena [83]

Answer:

V = 42.6 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Cl₂ = 1.9 mol

Temperature and pressure = standard

Volume occupy = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

By putting values,

1 atm ×  V = 1.9 mol ×0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 273.15 k

V = 42.6  atm.L / 1 atm

V = 42.6 L

Living things respire to stay alive. In the mitochondria, sugar is combined with oxygen to produce energy, water and carbon diox
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Explanation:

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells. It is a process in which  sugar is combined with oxygen to produce energy, water and carbon dioxide. This is the major process by which energy is released in living organisms.

Aerobic respiration involves a series of chemical reactions.  These reactions commence with sugar and oxygen then it produces  carbon dioxide and water according to the reaction equation; C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O.
