Explain how the effects of nuclear charge and the increasing number of core electrons in an atom oppose each other.

The nulear charge is the number of protons.

As the number of protons increases, the nuclear charge grows ant thhe pulling electrostatic force between them and electrons also grows, given that the electrostatic force is proportional to the magnitude of the charges.

As the number of electrons grows, they occupy outer shelss (farther from the nucleus). And the outer electrons will feel not only the atraction of the protons from the nucleus, but the repulsion of the inner electrons.

Then, we see that the increase of nuclear charge is opposed by the increase of core electrons, and the outer (valence) electrons are not so tied to the nucleus as the core electrons are.

This is called shielding effect. A way to quantify the shielding effect is through the effective nuclear charge which is the number of protons (Z) less the number of core electrons.

The more the number of core shells the greater the shielding effect experience by electros in the outermost shells.

The shielding effect, explains why the valence eletrons are more easily removed from the atom than core electrons, and also explains some  trends of the periodic table: variationof the size of the atoms in a row, the greater the shielding efect, the less the atraction force felt by the outermos electron, the farther they are and the larger the atom.

Two students were in Chemistry Class completing an assigned lab experiment. The two students were to mix 5.34g CaCl2 with CuSO4
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

CaCl₂ + CuSO₄ → CaSO₄ + CuCl₂.

Explanation:

  • It is a replacement reaction, that cations and anions are replaced with each other.

So, it gives CaSO₄ and CuCl₂.

  • To balance the reaction, we apply the law of conversation of mass, that the no. of atoms in the reactants side is equal to that in the products side.

So, the balanced reaction is:

<em>CaCl₂ + CuSO₄ → CaSO₄ + CuCl₂.</em>

If a 28.0 L balloon with a temperature of
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

5.6 L

Explanation:

We can apply Charles' Law here since our pressure is constant (will not change inside the refrigerator) and we are relating change in volume with change in temperature:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂ where V₁ and T₁ are initial volume and temperature, and V₂ and T₂ are final volume and temperature. Let's plug in what we know and solve for the unknown:

28.0 L / 25 °C = V₂ / 5 °C => V₂ = 5.6 L

5.6 L is our new volume (at 5 °C).
