atoms are made of 3 types of sub atomic particles- protons, neutrons and electrons
from these 3 particles, electrons are responsible for participating in chemical bonds. therefore chemical properties of elements are based on the number of electrons present.
valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outermost energy shell that are involved in chemical bonds.
atoms with same number of valence electrons are grouped in to columns called groups.
therefore elements of the same group have same number of valence electrons, hence similar chemical properties.
from the options given
only Be and Mg belong to the same group they both belong to group 2 with 2 valence electrons
therefore Be and Mg have similar chemical properties
answer is
1) Be and Mg
In my opinion I believe it would be motion because depending on how fast the person is going it would determine the outcome of the race
Answer:
Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:
Explanation:
This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.
<u>1) Effective nuclear charge definitions</u>
- While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.
- Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.
<u><em>2) Z eff for a F valence electron:</em></u>
- F's atomic number: Z = 9
- Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
- Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
- Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7
<u><em>3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:</em></u>
- Li's atomic number: Z = 3
- Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
- Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
- Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.
<em>4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:</em>
- Be's atomic number: Z = 4
- Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
- Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
- Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2
<u><em>5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:</em></u>
- B's atomic number: Z = 5
- Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
- Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
- Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3
<u><em>6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:</em></u>
- N's atomic number: Z = 7
- Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
- Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
- Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5
<u><em>7) Summary (order):</em></u>
Atom Zeff for a valence electron
- <u>Conclusion</u>: the order is Li < Be < B < N < F
The answer choice is going to be B.
