Nitrogen family - 5 valence electrons

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  • <u>The elements that belong to the nitrogen family are nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimonium, bismuth, and moscovium.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Families</em> are group of elements that belong to the same column in the periodic table.

Some families have a well known name. For instance, alkali metals is the family of the elements that belong to the first column: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr (H is an exception, in spite it is in the first column it does not belong to the alkali metals family because it is a nonmetal). Other well known families are alkaline earth metals (column 2), halogens (column 3), and noble gases (column 18).

All the members of a family have the same number of valence electrons, i.e. electrons in the outermost shell.

  • <u>Nitrogen</u>, N, is in the column 15; it has 5 valence electrons, because its outer most shell has configurarion ns²np³ (n is 2 because nitrogen is in the second period).

The other members fo this family with the electron configuration of the outermost shell are:

  • <u>Phosphorus</u>, P, 3s² 3p³ (third period)

  • <u>Arsenic,</u> As, 4s² 4p³ (fourth period)

  • <u>Antimonium</u>, Sb, 5s² 5p³ (fith period)

  • <u>Bismuth</u>, Bi, 6s² 6p³ (sixth period)

  • <u>Moscovium</u>, Mc, 7s² 7p³ (seventh period)

The weight of a sack potato in india is 50kgf. will the weight increase or decrease in bhutan. why​
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Assume that the sack was initially close to the sea level. Its weight will increase even though its mass stays the same.

Explanation:

The weight of an object typically refers to the size of the planet's gravitational attraction (a force) on this object. That's not the same as the mass of the object. The weight of an object at a position depends on the size of the gravitational field there; on the other hand, the mass of the object is supposed to be same regardless of the location- as long as the object stays intact.

Let g denote the strength of the gravitational field at a certain point. If the mass of an object is m, its weight at that point will be m \cdot g.

Indeed, g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} on many places of the earth. However, this value is accurate only near the sea level. The equation for universal gravitation is a more general way for finding the strength of the gravitational field at an arbitrary height. Let G denote the constant of universal gravitation, and let M denote the mass of the earth. At a distance r from the center of the earth (where

\displaystyle g \approx \frac{G \cdot M}{r^2}.

The elevation of many places in Bhutan are significantly higher than that of many places in India. Therefore, a sack of potato in Bhutan will likely be further away from the center of the earth (larger r) compared to a sack of potato in India.

Note, that in the approximation, the value of g is (approximately, because the earth isn't perfectly spherical) inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the planet. The gravitational field strength

On the other hand, the weight of an object of fixed mass is proportional to the gravitational field strength. Therefore, the same bag of potatoes will have a smaller weight at most places in Bhutan compared to most places in India.

What is the pH of a 0.050 M triethylamine, (C2H5)3N, solution? Kb for triethylamine is 5.3 ´ 10-4. Question options: 1) 11.69 2)
blsea [12.9K]
<span>the pH of a 0.050 M triethylamine, is 11.70
</span>
For triehtylamine, (C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N, the reaction will be
(C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N + H_{2}O ---\ \textgreater \ ( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}NH^{+} + OH^{-}

 and we know, pH = -log[H+] and pOH = -log[OH-]

Also, pOH + pH = 14

Now, the Kb value  = 5.3 x 10^-4

And kb =  \frac{( [( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}NH^{+} ]*  OH^{-} )}{[( C_{2}H_{5})_{3}N]}

 thus, [OH-] =(5.3 ^ 10-4) ^2 / 0.050

                    =0.00516 M 

Thus, pOH = 2.30 
 pH = 14 - pOH = 11.7

23492u undergoes alpha decay. what is the atomic number of the resulting element.
mash [69]
Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle, aka a helium nucleus. This results in the mass number of the original element decreasing by 4 and the atomic number decreasing by 2. Assuming 23942u is uranium (92), the resulting element's atomic number is 90, making it thorium.

A box has a mass of 5 kg. What is the weight of the box on Earth?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Given that W=mg:

The weight of the box would be 50 N taking the value of 'g' as 10ms-2. Taking the value of 'g' as 9.8ms-2, the weight of the box would be 49 N.

(N = Newtons)
