Why do chemically active metals have low electronegativity values?

1 answer:

6 0

Active metals are those metals in the group 1 of the periodic table.

Electronegativity is the trend to atract electrons.

Active metals have few valence electron, because their last shell is of the kind ns^1 or ns^2

Then, these atoms do not trend to attract electrons. The most electronegative atomos are those who have 7 valence elecfrons; this is their last shell is of the kind ns^7, because when they attract one electron to its valence shell they will complete 8 electrons which is the most stable configuration.

A sample of a compound is found to contain 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen, and 53.3% oxygen. What is the empirical formula of this

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The empirical formula is CH2O, and the molecular formula is some multiple of this

Explanation:

In 100 g of the unknown, there are 40.0⋅g12.011⋅g⋅mol−1 C; 6.7⋅g1.00794⋅g⋅mol−1 H; and 53.5⋅g16.00⋅g⋅mol−1 O.

We divide thru to get, C:H:O = 3.33:6.65:3.34. When we divide each elemental ratio by the LOWEST number, we get an empirical formula of CH2O, i.e. near enough to WHOLE numbers. Now the molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula; i.e. (EF)n=MF.So 60.0⋅g⋅mol−1=n×(12.011+2×1.00794+16.00)g⋅mol−1.Clearly n=2, and the molecular formula is 2×(CH2O) = CxHyOz.
