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].

Calculate 4 Srxn for this equation. Round to the
masya89 [10]

Answer:

On edge nuity, it is 79.

Explanation:

Please read the explanation.

Since u have no coefficients, this problem is super easy.

You just add your products, 115.5+69.91 = 185.41

Then add your reactants: 49.8+56.5= 106.3

Then subtract your reactants from your product and round to the nearest whole number.

106.3-185.41=79

It's really easy. Once u understand it, you can do any problem like this. If there is coefficients, just multiply the coefficient by the amount given to you in the problem.

A balloon is filled to a volume of 1.6 L at 278 K. The balloon is left outside overnight and the temperature has dropped to 253
german

Explanation:

Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume and the temperature of the gas. Mathematically,

Volume ∝ Temperature

i.e. \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}

We have, V₁ = 1.6 L, T₁ = 278 K, T₂ = 253, V₂=?

V_2=\dfrac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1.6\times 253}{278}\\\\V_2=1.45\ L

So, the new volume is 1.45 L.
