The melting points for the second series transition elements increase from 1526˚C for yttrium to 2623˚C for molybdenum and then

decrease again to 321˚C for cadmium. Account for this trend in terms of band theory.

Answer:

The melting points of the second series of transition elements are electrons are entering to the type of orbital.

Explanation:

Transition elements have "d" band that can overlap with the "s' band to give a composite band. The composite band have six molecular orbitals per metal atom.

Half of the molecular orbitals are the anti bonding.So, maximum bonding occurs when the molecular orbitals contains six electrons i.e. the metal has six valence electrons per each metal atom.

When the maximum bonding occurs then it shows maximum melting point.

So, molybdenum shows melting point at 2623^{o}C and after that the electrons goes into the antibonding and reaches minimum for cadmium when the anti boning orbital is completely filled. So, the melting point of the cadmium is tex]321^{o}C[/tex].

How many grarns would 3 moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) weigh? (round to the
BigorU [14]

Mass of CO₂ = 132 g

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

A mole is a number of particles(atoms, molecules, ions)  in a substance

This refers to the atomic total of the 12 gr C-12  which is equal to 6.02.10²³, so 1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles  

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = 6.02.10²³ = Avogadro's number

mole also can be formulated :

\tt n=\dfrac{mass}{MW}

moles of CO₂ = 3

mass of CO₂(MW=44.01 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=3\times 44.01\\\\mass=132.03~g\approx 132~g

What’s the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. A mixture in which its constituents are distributed uniformly is called homogeneous mixture, such as salt in water. A mixture in which its constituents are not distributed uniformly is called heterogeneous mixture, such as sand in water.

What kind of electrical charges do protons,electrons, and neutrons have?​
Vinil7 [7]

<em><u>Protons</u></em><em><u> = Positive Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em><em><u> = Neutral Charge/No Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Electrons</u></em><em><u> = Negative Charge</u></em>

<em>This one's simple: electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge and neutrons — as the name implies — are neutral.</em>

<u><em>Protons</em></u>

<em>Elements are differentiated from each other by the number of protons within their nucleus. For example, carbon atoms have six protons in their nucleus. Atoms with seven protons are nitrogen atoms. The number of protons for each element is known as the atomic number and does not change in chemical reactions. In other words, the elements at the beginning of a reaction -- known as the reactants -- are the same elements at the end of a reaction -- known as the products.</em>

<em />

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em>

<em>Although elements have a specific number of protons, atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons and are termed isotopes. For example, hydrogen has three isotopes, each with a single proton. Protium is an isotope of hydrogen with zero neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. Although the number of neutrons may differ between isotopes, the isotopes all behave in a chemically similar manner.</em>

<em />

<u><em>Electrons</em></u>

<em>Electrons are not bound as tightly to the atom as protons and neutrons. This allows electrons to be lost, gained or even shared between atoms. Atoms that lose an electron become ions with a +1 charge, since there is now one more proton than electrons. Atoms that gain an electron have one more electron than protons and become a -1 ion. Chemical bonds that hold atoms together to form compounds result from these changes in the number and arrangement of electrons.</em>
