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

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

Write the equation for the neutralization reaction in which barium chloride is the salt formed. Show the reaction in which the f
frutty [35]

Answer:

2 HCl + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCl₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

In a complete neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base to form neutral salt and water. To form barium chloride, hydrochloric acid (acid) reacts with barium hydroxide  (base). The balanced chemical equation is:

2 HCl + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCl₂ + 2 H₂O

Determine the freezing point of an aqueous solution containing 10.50 g of magnesium bromide in 200.0 g of water.
Rudiy27
For an aqueous solution of MgBr2, a freezing point depression occurs due to the rules of colligative properties. Since MgBr2 is an ionic compound, it acts a strong electrolyte; thus, dissociating completely in an aqueous solution. For the equation:

                                ΔTf<span> = (K</span>f)(<span>m)(i)
</span>where: 
ΔTf = change in freezing point = (Ti - Tf)
Ti = freezing point of pure water = 0 celsius
Tf = freezing point of water with solute = ?
Kf = freezing point depression constant = 1.86 celsius-kg/mole (for water)
m = molality of solution (mol solute/kg solvent) = ?
i = ions in solution = 3

Computing for molality:
Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol

m = 10.5g MgBr2 / 184.113/ 0.2 kg water = 0.285 mol/kg


For the problem, 
ΔTf = (Kf)(m)(i) = 1.86(0.285)(3) = 1.59 = Ti - Tf = 0 - Tf

Tf = -1.59 celsius
