What does this do to the electrons outside the nucleus in the gaseous atoms

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

As you know, ionization energy is the energy needed to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of atoms in the gaseous state

Right from the start, you can tell that the harder it is to remove an electron from an atom, the higher the ionization energy will be.

Now, the periodic trends for ionization energy can be describe as follows

ionization energy increases as you move from left to right across a period

ionization energy decreases as you go down a group

As you mentioned, if you compare the first ionization energies for oxygen and chlorine using these two trends, you will get conflicting results.

If you follow the way ionization energy increases across period, chlorine would have a higher ionization energy, since it's closer to the noble gases.

On the other hand, if you go by how ionziation energy decreases from top to bottom in a group, oxygen would have higher ionization energy, since it's located in period 2, as compared with period 3 for chlorine.

As it turns out, the trend for groups overpowers the trend for periods. As aresult, oxygen will have a higher ionization energy than chlorine.

This happens because the smaller oxygen atom has its outermost electrons held tighter by the nucleus. By comparison, chlorine's outermost atoms are located further away from the nucleus.

Not only that, but they are screened from the charge of the nucleus better, since they're located on the third energy level.

Oxygen's outermost electrons are screened by

2

electrons, while chlorine's are screened by

8

electrons.

All these factors will make chlorine's outermost electrons a little easier to remove, which implies a smaller ionization energy than that of oxygen.v

How does a sugar solution become rock candy?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution is unstable—it contains more solute (in this case, sugar) than can stay in solution—so as the temperature decreases, the sugar comes out of the solution, forming crystals. The lower the temperature, the more molecules join the sugar crystals, and that is how rock candy is created.

A solution (HELP ASSAAAAP ROAD TO GRADUATION)
creativ13 [48]

Hey there! A simple explanation is below.

Answer:

D) is a single phase homogeneous mixture.

Explanation:

A solution is a form of homogenous combination made up of two or more components in chemistry. A solute is a material that is dissolved in another material, known as a solvent, in such a combination. The mixing of a solution takes place at a scale where the effects of chemical polarity are present, resulting in solvation-specific interactions. In most cases, the solution is in the condition of the solvent, because it is most common in the mixture.

Microwave radiation has a wavelength on the order of 1.0 cm. Calculate the frequency and the energy of a single photon of this r
denis23 [38]

Answer :

(1) The frequency of photon is, 3\times 10^{10}Hz

(2) The energy of a single photon of this radiation is 1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon

(3) The energy of an Avogadro's number of photons of this radiation is, 11.97 J/mol

Explanation : Given,

Wavelength of photon = 1.0cm=0.01m     (1 m = 100 cm)

(1) Now we have to calculate the frequency of photon.

Formula used :

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

\nu = frequency of photon

\lambda = wavelength of photon

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{0.01m}

\nu=3\times 10^{10}s^{-1}=3\times 10^{10}Hz    (1Hz=1s^{-1})

The frequency of photon is, 3\times 10^{10}Hz

(2) Now we have to calculate the energy of photon.

Formula used :

E=h\times \nu

where,

\nu = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

E=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^{10}s^{-1})

E=1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon

The energy of a single photon of this radiation is 1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon

(3) Now we have to calculate the energy in J/mol.

E=1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon

E=(1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon)\times (6.022\times 10^{23}photon/mol)

E=11.97J/mol

The energy of an Avogadro's number of photons of this radiation is, 11.97 J/mol
