State general trend for metal properties as you go left to right across a period

Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.

Electronegativity Trends

Electronegativity can be understood as a chemical property describing an atom's ability to attract and bind with electrons. Because electronegativity is a qualitative property, there is no standardized method for calculating electronegativity. However, the most common scale for quantifying electronegativity is the Pauling scale (Table A2), named after the chemist Linus Pauling. The numbers assigned by the Pauling scale are dimensionless due to the qualitative nature of electronegativity. Electronegativity values for each element can be found on certain periodic tables. An example is provided below.


From left to right across a period of elements, electronegativity increases. If the valence shell of an atom is less than half full, it requires less energy to lose an electron than to gain one. Conversely, if the valence shell is more than half full, it is easier to pull an electron into the valence shell than to donate one.

From top to bottom down a group, electronegativity decreases. This is because atomic number increases down a group, and thus there is an increased distance between the valence electrons and nucleus, or a greater atomic radius.

Important exceptions of the above rules include the noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides. The noble gases possess a complete valence shell and do not usually attract electrons. The lanthanides and actinides possess more complicated chemistry that does not generally follow any trends. Therefore, noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides do not have electronegativity values.

As for the transition metals, although they have electronegativity values, there is little variance among them across the period and up and down a group. This is because their metallic properties affect their ability to attract electrons as easily as the other elements.

According to these two general trends, the most electronegative element is fluorine, with 3.98 Pauling units.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

First to show combustion, you use O₂.

So   C₆H₁₀O₅ +  O₂ is the reaction.  Assuming complete combustion, all you get as products are CO₂ and H₂O.  Then you have to balance the full reaction.

C₆H₁₀O₅  +  6O₂  ----->  6CO₂  +  5H₂O

6 Carbons on each side

10 Hydrogens on each side

Ag2S + Al(s) = Al2S3 + Ag(s) (unbalanced)
Dovator [93]

Answer:

1. 0.97 V

2. Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/Ag_(_s_)

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the <u>half-reactions</u>:

Ag^+~_(_a_q_)->~Ag_(_s_)

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)

With this in mind we can <u>add the electrons</u>:

Ag^+~_(_a_q_)+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)  <u>Reduction</u>

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~3e^-~ <u>Oxidation</u>

The reduction potential values for each half-reaction are:

Ag_2S~+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)~+~S^-^2~_(_a_q_) - 0.69 V

Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~2e^-~->~Al_(_s_) -1.66 V

In the aluminum half-reaction, we have an oxidation reaction, therefore we have to <u>flip</u> the reduction potential value:

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~+~2e^-~ +1.66 V

Finally, to calculate the overall potential we have to <u>add</u> the two values:

1.66 V - 0.69 V = <u>0.97 V</u>

For the second question, we have to keep in mind that in the cell notation we put the anode (the oxidation half-reaction) in the left and the cathode (the reduction half-reaction) in the right. Additionally, we have to use "//" for the salt bridge, therefore:

Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/~Ag_(_s_)

I hope it helps!

The freezing point of diet soda is higher than the freezing point of regular soda, but lower than 0 degrees celcius, the freezin
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both Diet Soda and regular soda contain sweeteners.

When a solute is dissolved in solution, the solution undergoes *freezing point depression* it freezing point reduces. The magnitude of freezing point depression is directly proportional to the amount of solute in a solution.

Since soda Both regular or diet soda contains more solute than water , their freezing point is will consequently be lower than water
