Element? I'm quite not sure but...Hope this helps!
Answer:
It is the net movement of anything from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
24. <span>Valence electrons are most loosely held by the atom and are involved in chemical reactions. Chemical reactions occur when valence electrons are shared between atoms. The number of valence electrons determines how these reactions take place and what kind of bonds they form.
25 </span><span>Sodium has one valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. The Ione valence electron from sodium is lost and is transferred to the chlorine atom. The result is a sodium ion with a charge of 1+ and a chloride ion with a charge of 1-. The oppositely charged ions attract each other and the charges balance to make a compound that is electrically neutral.
26. </span><span>Ionic compounds have high melting points and high boiling points compared to molecular compounds. Ionic compounds that are dissolved in water or melted will conduct electricity. Molecular compounds do not conduct electricity in either case.
27. </span><span>A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share valence electrons. Neither atom loses electrons or takes electrons from the other. No charged particles form. In an ionic bond, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions, and atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged ions. These oppositely charged particles then attract each other.
28. </span><span>A metal crystal consists of positively charged metal ions embedded in a "sea" of loosely held valence electrons that can move around easily. Heat travels through materials as the increased motion of the particles in the hotter parts of the material is passed along to the particles in the cooler parts. In a metal, since particles are easily set in motion, heat is easily transferred or conducted. The same is true for the conduction of electricity. Electricity can flow when charged particles, such as electrons, are free to move. Since the electrons in a metal crystal can move freely among the atoms, electricity is easily conducted.</span>
Answer: -
IE 1 for X = 801
Here X is told to be in the third period.
So n = 3 for X.
For 1st ionization energy the expression is
IE1 = 13.6 x Z ^2 / n^2
Where Z =atomic number.
Thus Z =( n^2 x IE 1 / 13.6)^(1/2)
Z = ( 3^2 x 801 / 13.6 )^ (1/2)
= 23
Number of electrons = Z = 23
Nearest noble gas = Argon
Argon atomic number = 18
Number of extra electrons = 23 – 18 = 5
a) Electronic Configuration= [Ar] 3d34s2
We know that more the value of atomic radii, lower the force of attraction on the electrons by the nucleus and thus lower the first ionization energy.
So more the first ionization energy, less is the atomic radius.
X has more IE1 than Y.
b) So the atomic radius of X is lesser than that of Y.
c) After the first ionization, the atom is no longer electrically neutral. There is an extra proton in the atom.
Due to this the remaining electrons are more strongly pulled inside than before ionization. Hence after ionization, the radii of Y decreases.
