Answer:

The elements become less reactive.

Explanation:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction and reactivity increases because of greater electron affinity.

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased. The electron affinity decreases because of shielding effect and thus atom become less reactive.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

3p34s23d7

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Electrons in an atom are contained in specific energy levels that are different distances from the nucleus.
  • Within each energy level is a volume of space where specific electrons are likely to be located, called orbitals. Orbitals are of different shapes, denoted by a letter (s, p, d, f, g).
  • S-orbital takes a maximum of two electrons, p-orbital take a maximum of six electrons, d-orbital takes a maximum of 10 electrons, and so fourth.
  • The electron filling pattern takes; 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p.........
  • Therefore; in this case after 3p3, we then go to 4s, with 2 electrons, then 3d which takes 7 electrons.

Calculate the heat change in calories for melting 65 g of ice at 0 ∘c.
Genrish500 [490]

When ice melts, the physicals state changes from solid to liquid. The energy or the heat required (q) required to change a unit mass (m) of a substance from solid to liquid is known as the enthalpy or heat of fusion (ΔHf). The variables; q, m and ΔHf are related as:

q = m * ΔHf

the mass of ice m = 65 g

the heat of fusion of water at 0C = ΔHf = 334 J/g

Therefore: q = 65 g * 334 J/g = 21710 J

Now:

4.184 J = 1 cal

which implies that: 21710 J = 1 cal * 21710 J/4.184 J = 5188.8 cal

Hence the heat required is 5188.8 cal or 5.2 Kcal (approx)

Consider a generic redox reaction?
vesna_86 [32]
The Nernst equation allows us to predict the cell potential for voltaic cells under conditions other than the standard conditions of 1M, 1 atm, 25°C. The effects of different temperatures and concentrations may be tracked in terms of the Gibbs energy change ΔG. This free energy change depends upon the temperature & concentrations according to   ΔG = ΔG°  +  RTInQ  where ΔG° is the free energy change under conditions and Q is the thermodynamic reaction quotient. The free energy change is related to the cell potential  Ecell by ΔG= nFEcell

so for non-standard conditions
              -nFEcell = -nFE°cell  + RT InQ

or
   
              Ecell  =  E°cell - RT/nF (InQ) 

which is called Nernst equation.

Why has the acidity of the ocean increased over the years?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

I think it's A

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere whenever people burn fossil fuels. ... As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rises, the oceans absorb a lot of it. In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid. This causes the acidity of seawater to increase.
