Why are the elements 57 through 70, and 89 through 102, found separately at the bottom of the Periodic table?

The elements in 57 through 70 are called rare earths. They are also called the lanthanides, because they follow and resemble lanthanum on the periodic table. They differ from each other only in the amount of electrons they have in the fourth level.

The elements in 89 through 102 are called actinides. They are very similar to the lanthanides. They have different numbers of electrons in the fifth level. They are all radioactive and only Ac (actinium), Th, Pa, and U occur in nature.

Elements from 57 to 71 are Lanthanoids and from 89 to 103 are Actinoids. Simply I would say Actinoids have less similarity in chemical properties than Lanthanoids. On the other hands, Actinoids have randomized chemical strutural bonds.

(a)-Use Lewis symbol store present there action that occurs between Ca and F atoms. (b)-What is the chemical formula of the most

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

(b) $CaF_2$

(c) Calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond.

(d) Calcium atom loses electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Fluorine is the element of group 17 and second period. The electronic configuration of the element fluorine is - 2, 7 or $1s^22s^22p^5$

There is 1 valence electron of fluorine.

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom is complete.

Thus, calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond. This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete and they become stable.

Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is $CaF_2$ .

(a) The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

(b) $CaF_2$

(c) Calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond.

(d) Calcium atom loses electrons.

Explain whether nitrogen atoms will form bonds with other atoms.

Stells [14]

Nitrogen can make bonds with other atoms.. Typically though it only makes 3 bonds, so it fills its octet.

Write a short paragraph on the harms caused by microorganisms

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Some serious diseases like anthrax is also caused in animals by the microbes. Microbes also cause diseases of plants like blights in potatoes, sugarcanes, oranges etc. They also reduce the yield. Microbes grow on food products and render them unfit for consumption.

If 4.12 l of a 0.850 m-h3po4 solution is be diluted to a volume of 10.00 l, what is the concentration of the resulting solution?

statuscvo [17]

The process in which the concentration of the solution is lessened by the addition of water is said to be dilution and equation of dilution relates the initial concentration and volume of stock solution with the final concentration and volume of the solution.

Formula is given by:

$C_{1}V_{1}=C_{2}V_{2}$ (1)
