Will bromine react with sodium and why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Archy [21]3 years ago
4 0

<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this

Na:
Br: </span></span>

<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>

<span><span>Na:  (2e)
Br:  (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)

Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.

However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span><span>

</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

<span>

I'm stuck on this assignment, +20 PTS and BRAINLIEST for step by step:
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

2. 2.74 L

3. 488 K

4. 7.47 L

5. 38.6 L

6. 2.85 mol

7. 319 K

8. 3.43 kPa

Explanation:

Generally speaking, you want to convert units to SI units, but in this case, we are working with ratios.  This makes up for using the units that wouldn't appropriate elsewhere.

2.  Use the equation P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.  Solve for V₂.  

(3.05 L)(870 kPa) = (969 kPa)(V₂)  

V₂ = 2.74 L.  

3.  Use the equation V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂. Solve for T₂.  

(3.32 L)/(360 K) = (4.50 L)/(T₂)  

T₂ = 488 K.

4.  Do the same as above, but for V₂.  

(5.10 L)/(-56°C) = V₂/(-82°C)  

V₂ = 7.47 L

5.  Use the equation V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂.  Solve for V₂.  

(37.2 L)/(0.750 mol) = (V₂)/(0.778 mol)  

V₂ = 38.6 L

6.  Do the same as above, but for n₂.

(86.0 L)/(2.65 mol) = (92.5 L)(n₂)  

n₂ = 2.85 mol

7.  Use the equation P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂.  Solve for T₂.  

(3.00 atm)/(390 K) = (2.45 atm)/(T₂)  

T₂ = 319 K

8.  Do the same as above, but for P₂.  

In this specific case, however you will need to convert units.  Since both temperatures don't have the same sign, the ratio won't come out right.  Convert to Kelvin.  Add 273.15 to the temperature in Celsius to convert to Kelvin -12.3°C = 260.85 K  25°C = 298.15 K.

(3.00 kPa)/(260.85 K) = P₂/(298.15 K)

P₂ = 3.43 kPa

There is a lot in here... If you are confused about something, let me know!

What toupee of matter is oxygen
Aleksandr [31]

All matter is made from atoms with the configuration of the atom, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, determining the kind of matter present (oxygen, lead, silver, neon ...). Every substance has a unique number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Oxygen, for example, has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons. Individual atoms can combine with other atoms to form molecules. Water molecules contain two atoms of hydrogen H and one atom of oxygen O and is chemically called H2O. Oxygen and nitrogen, which are the major components of air, occur in nature as diatomic (two atom) molecules. Regardless of the type of molecule, matter normally exists as either a solid, a liquid, or a gas. We call this property of matter the phase of the matter. The three normal phases of matter have unique characteristics which are listed on the slide.

Solid

In the solid phase the molecules are closely bound to one another by molecular forces. A solid holds its shape and the volume of a solid is fixed by the shape of the solid.

Liquid

In the liquid phase the molecular forces are weaker than in a solid. A liquid will take the shape of its container with a free surface in a gravitational field. In microgravity, a liquid forms a ball inside a free surface. Regardless of gravity, a liquid has a fixed volume.

Gas

In the gas phase the molecular forces are very weak. A gas fills its container, taking both the shape and the volume of the container.

Fluids (Liquids and Gases)

Liquids and gases are called fluids because they can be made to flow, or move. In any fluid, the molecules themselves are in constant, random motion, colliding with each other and with the walls of any container. The motion of fluids and the reaction to external forces are described by the Navier-Stokes Equations, which express a conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. The motion of solids and the reaction to external forces are described by Newton's Laws of Motion.

Any substance can occur in any phase. Under standard atmospheric conditions, water exists as a liquid. But if we lower the temperature below 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit, water changes its phase into a solid called ice. Similarly, if we heat a volume of water above 100 degrees Celsius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, water changes its phase into a gas called water vapor. Changes in the phase of matter are physical changes, not chemical changes. A molecule of water vapor has the same chemical composition, H2O, as a molecule of liquid water or a molecule of ice.

When studying gases , we can investigate the motions and interactions of individual molecules, or we can investigate the large scale action of the gas as a whole. Scientists refer to the large scale motion of the gas as the macro scale and the individual molecular motions as the micro scale. Some phenomenon are easier to understand and explain based on the macro scale, while other phenomenon are more easily explained on the micro scale. Macro scale investigations are based on things that we can easily observe and measure. But micro scale investigations are based on rather simple theories because we cannot actually observe an individual gas molecule in motion. Macro scale and micro scale investigations are just two views of the same thing.

Plasma - the "fourth phase"

The three normal phases of matter listed on the slide have been known for many years and studied in physics and chemistry classes. In recent times, we have begun to study matter at the very high temperatures and pressures which typically occur on the Sun, or during re-entry from space. Under these conditions, the atoms themselves begin to break down; electrons are stripped from their orbit around the nucleus leaving a positively charged ion behind. The resulting mixture of neutral atoms, free electrons, and charged ions is called a plasma. A plasma has some unique qualities that causes scientists to label it a "fourth phase" of matter. A plasma is a fluid, like a liquid or gas, but because of the charged particles present in a plasma, it responds to and generates electro-magnetic forces. There are fluid dynamic equations, called the Boltzman equations, which include the electro-magnetic forces with the normal fluid forces of the Navier-Stokes equations. NASA is currently doing research into the use of plasmas for an ion propulsion system.
